maybe_next_year Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 There are a few criticisms I may have had of Willock over the years, I'm not sure arrogant or lazy have ever been on the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Hope I'm not jinxing an injury or something, but given that we won't get a decent fee for him, I'm okay with him staying as a squad player for the next season as he has shown more positive signs this season. I don't trust us to get a better squad player for the type of money that we will get for him, and our budget is already tight in a very demaning window where we need to prioritize replacing a bunch of other players. I have a feeling that he will stay, unless he wants to go for some reason. Edited May 2 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 He has something to offer, energy and a goal threat, neither are there in the player we signed for 40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I like him on the left. More space to run at players and more opportunities to make forward runs. Also means he doesn't get crowded out and pushed off the ball, or is weak in the tackle like he is when he plays through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Remember that Bruno header v Leicester) Think that spell of injuries destroyed any confidence he had in his body and he was reluctant to burst forward.

Don't think we'll get a decent fee in the final year of his contract. We might end up just keeping him and using him next season then letting him go for free next year.

Pablo Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Just now, Rafalove said: I like him as a player but if we can get a decent fee, I’d sell him. This. I doubt we get a decent fee though. I’d be tempted to offer an extension, protect his value etc. but not sure if he would do it, as I’d be looking to keep pay similar and have him as a rotation option.

Erikse Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) If our squad was already good and we just needed to replace like 2-3 players then it would probably be okay to cash in on a small fee. As allways we won't buy 10 players in one window, so unless we feel like we don't need the depth without Europe, then I'm not sure the money is worth the headache of being left with just another hole to fill without getting much to fill it with. It's not like we're forced to start him in many games, or have to rely heavily on him if we keep him. I don't see the problem.

He’s a solid pro, very effective on the left and can do a job in the middle. Find me a free transfer who can do the same job at a similar age pls. The cost of extending is less than free contracts or replacements. Football finance 101. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 He's been here a good five years time to move him on, it's how clubs operate. You'd get a good 15 million for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can say that about so many players in our squad right now, but this is not football manager or fifa where you can just replace everyone who are not key players in one window. Every team needs squad players, and typically they will be of less quality, hence why they are squad players. Edited May 3 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
