aussiemag Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 He isn’t good enough in possession. At his best he drives with the ball and arrives in the box well. But I prefer midfielders who can receive the ball under pressure and find a pass . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 In those interviews where the players name a teammate, his name normally crops up when it is to do with racking up the most fines. Making assumptions I know but that can't be a postive and he appears to be our 6th choice midfielder if everyone is fit these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 I'll be very surprised if he is not away in January, either permanently or through a loan, with a possible option to buy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey is a superior footballer based on the last 2 seasons but we cannot also discount that Willock was very good for us at one point. Howe will give him every chance to step it up but then if he doesn’t the writing is on the wall. The current Ramsey injury was a bad tackle? So can’t really blame him for that.. and maybe in previous seasons he’d already be returned but the current medical team seem far more cautious. Yep, I agree with all of that.

ExiledGeordie Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 I don’t see him being here beyond this season but then I imagine there might be a fair few changes again next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else do you think may be off next summer? We have some aging players but a lot already have replacements. I’d be surprised if we were to sell Joelinton even though I think the argument to sell is becoming more convincing. GK still needs figuring out for sure. Hard to imagine both Barnes and Gordon being here after next summer’s window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine both Barnes and Gordon being here after next summer’s window If the right forward became available then I could see us flipping Wissa, similar to Wood, at a loss to secure that position longterm. All depends if we identify any young forwards next summer or summer of 2027. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’ll potentially be changes at gk position, the midfield could evolve again so there’s a chance Joelinton gets moved on. I’m not saying I want him to go but feel we might look for more quality in the ball. I still think we’re vulnerable to offers for Tonali with our wage structure limitations (not that I think he’d force a move like Isak) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 surprised nobody has mentioned him walking off the pitch after USG without clapping the fans or congratulating any of his team mates. also, who in their right mind would buy him now? he hasn't had a good game in years, and his attitude absolutely stinks. a Championship club probably would but his ego wouldn't allow him to make that move.

Is that right? Wasn’t there an incident where Trippier tried to get him to go over to the fans v Leeds but he couldn’t be arsed?

LFEE Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 Maybe he’s read the lack of support for him with what seems the majority on here Do find it a bit of a cheek to criticise him not engaging with the fans currently when the very same want to see him sold thinking he’s crap.

kenlau88210 Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 The 22-23 season was special and he was an important part of our success in qualifying for CL. So hopefully he turns things around and proves all the doubters wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 I'm not one for defending him but if it's that evident that he could no longer give a shite about things he would surely be excluded from the match day squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondonewc Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 You guys honestly think his attitude and application is as bad as your suggesting and Howe would let him be anywhere near the club? There's literally no chance, he'd be out the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he doesn't get injured again I'd say there's good chances one of the relegation threatned teams in January might be willing to take a punt on him, hoping to get the Bruce era Willock for the price of a post-Benitez Longstaff.
