Gallowgate Toon Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Good player, seems an even better lad. Wish him all the best. I think he'll have a good PL career - he's got a decent amount of attributes that could work well in a few different set ups. Don't think he'll find that at Arsenal though...

Kanji Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Bloody get him signed up. Pay the fucking fee over many years if needed, just get it done. He’s what we’ve been crying out for ages. We’ve not had any mobile CMs in our time. Sissoko, Wijnaldum, then like nobody for ages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you’re right about Arsenal not suiting him. Must admit the times he’s played for Arsenal he hasn’t looked half the player he has here. Be interesting to see what Arteta’s mindset will be with him concerning his future. I will be surprised if he’s here next year unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Remains to be seen how Arsenal will treat him once pre season starts, he’s definitely good enough to get in most PL teams though. As I said before, some players (and managers) just click with a certain club. It’s lightning in a bottle and doesn’t come around too often, well not like this. He’s perfect for this club. 25-30 million should see Arsenal snap our hands off. Before his goal scoring exploits I’d have said under 20 million but it is what it is now. The issue is our budget.

They’ll not spend any money and Arteta has already shown he’s willing to bed in younger players. We probably could sign him though, but we’ll never place a bid close enough. Doubt they keep him, doesn’t suit their ‘style’ , think they cash out on him. Hoping we can get him near the £20m mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of Parker & Bowyer in their Charlton & Leeds days, raw goal scoring ACMs. Hope we sign him & a new manager () Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I’ve said it before but I think he’d be a really good option off the bench for England in the Euros when chasing a result with his energy, positioning and finishing (both aerial and shooting). he is not as good as the other midfield options to start games but sometimes with a substitute you need a different dimension Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I honestly don’t know if this bombing into the box is his normal game or if it’s just what he’s been doing here because we needed someone to save our season. He might be viewed completely differently at Arsenal. Did anyone see him much before he came here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Sometimes players just fit with a team and that's the case here. Arsenal are too much of a passing side for Willock. He plays better in a counter style team, where he can drive forward or arrive in the box. We really need to get this deal done. Sign Willock, keep our players, few more quality additions and new manager, and we are looking in good shape imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 We reportedly got £17m to spend in summer. Even if arsenal wanted to sell there’s no chance he’s coming here. Pretty gutted actually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we have a load of shite, including Bruce, to get rid of before anything will happen. Oh and we new a new owner and CEO as well (or what ever his is called).

This too. Obviously we don’t fully know what kind of player Willock really is, he’s profited from how we ‘play’ really well, but has shown he’s more than just the type of player we are seeing. I’m not so sure, like others, however, that he’s ideally suited in any way to a game of pass and move or possession football that Arteta is trying (and failing at) with Arsenal. It would stifle the kind of game we’ve seen him flourish here at playing, from deep, running, late breaks into the box, attacking the final third etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
