EnglishMalteser Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Nobody's in for ASM because of his injury record, can't justify the fee. I've seen plenty of Arsenal fans disappointed they're not keeping Willock, they say they lack a box to box midfielder and he fills that void. Best thing we can do is not put pressure on him to continue what was a freakish goal record for a player in that role, and give him time, this time next year he could be ready to be a brilliant player for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 This Willock deal is taking some time, it's almost as though he's waiting for a better deal to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I feel like now is a good time to remind ourselves that Brewcie didn't even start him in all games where he was available, which makes his obsession with him even weirder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Brucie is just very slow on the uptake. Took him fucking ages to realise he could save his season. Thick as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I mean, I don't believe it, but there's possibly an argument that says Bruce handled him quite well considering it was his first spell of first team football and he was getting success coming on as a sub. I know he's shite but maybe sometimes does things right. Suppose Jones might have told him what to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Honestly not that arsed if we don't sign him either. I rate him a lot, but if he signs for someone else, that's Brewcie fucked, and that's quite entertaining in itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 if £25m is all we've got we'd arguably be better going for that lad at Marseilles at half the price and trying to wangle another forward from somewhere with what's left unless they're going to give him a couple of loans on top as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Unless hes getting a hefty pay rise I don't understand the logic of him signing for us, another loan would probably have been best for all parties and reassess at the end of the season.

Think I read it was us that didn't want the loan, Arsenal were happy enough with the obligation/option to buy at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way he goes for under 30 million and it’s even less likely that he’d settle for Newcastle as his next club. By all accounts he’s very very highly thought of.

The links to Kamara surfaced when Hayden was supposed to be going to Southampton. Could definitely see him being a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
