Joe Willock has not trained yet but is making 'good progress' (Howe)

[ED209]

Hope it falls through and we get thumped in every one of the first ten games. 

[Joe_F]

We'd have been relegated without him but nah can't be on the same as Shelvey

 

 

 

 

[toon25]

'Top earners' pretty much equating to the average wage at other PL clubs. Fucking weapon.

[Willow]

Pete 'the guy who writes m8 instead of mate' Graves

[The Prophet]

It has completed on Friday at 10.55 written all over it. 

[KaKa]

Ah, so Charnley forgot to deselect the 'Wants to use the club as a stepping stone' demand. Typical.

[Decky]

If this doesn't go through it'll be funny seeing the £25m that was there for this suddenly disappear. 

[andyc35i]

When the registration cut off for the weekend game or have we missed it already?

[Beth]

No one knows what his wage demands are but when you consider we were paying non-entities like Muto 50k a week and Shelvey is on 80k you can understand why he'd be upset if we're offering him around 30-40k..........

There is no plan B, it's been obvious every time Bruce has spoken.

  can just hear him now post match.... "We lost 5-0 cos a player who may/may not be coming wasn't here."

[Anderson]

Still can’t understand no other club being in for him, especially at the price quoted.

[Danh1]

Doesn’t matter if it goes through or not really, in fact I hope it doesn’t to sicken the season ticket renewers on Sunday.

 

We’re a dead club, utterly fucking pointless. Seems Willock is aware of that. 

[Interpolic]

Worst club ever in managing to suck the fun out of even the most unlikely situations shocker. 

[GWN]

I detect posters on here want this to fail 

 

we are right bastards mind 

[Interpolic]

I'd rather we signed him as I'll doubtless get sucked into watching a handful of games next year. Not particularly arsed though. 

 

It's laughable that we're charmless and gormless enough to run into issues with the kid's contract though. Pathetic, as is standard. 

[Guest reefatoon]

Will have a chuckle if we have put all our eggs in this basket only for him to tell us to fuck off. It’s what everyone should be telling Ashley and his little bunch of bitches.

[Raconteur]

With Steve Bruce telling everyone how much we wanted him, of course Willock was going to demand the earth to move - especially if it's true he preferred a loan to a permanent move.

 

Clearly Willock isn't too fussed in extending his seven goals in seven games record...

[Joey Linton]

Not a chance we should be giving him a three year deal if that's what the stumbling block is. Problem is you just know we don't have an alternative lined up.

Typical Downie (and earlier Graves) who is a definite Ashley stooge. He’s always kissed Ashley’s arse in the past. 

[B-more Mag]

Reasonable wages but he's also got to be tea lady.

He prob doesn’t want to be stuck here, typical how hard they are making this 

 

We'd be stupid to agree to 3 years mind. Im not sure what he's got to be worried about on a long term deal to be honest. He covers himself if things go tits up and if he performs well we'll undoubtedly be looking to sell him on. 

[Disco]

Length of deal is potentially mitigated by putting a release clause (fee or what the club achieves) in you’d have thought.

[elbee909]

Rumours that Willock's signing is contingent on Bruce's immediate departure are sadly wide of the mark
