Joe Willock

[Stifler]

I said this last night to a mate and I’ve said it before as well, Willock is the CM that Arsenal need. Absolutely baffling they have loaned him out, especially when they play Elneny ahead of him.

[Aiston]

He can call us what he wants if he keep scoring

Did they let him go just to accommodate Odegaard? Big mistake.

Apparently he just hasn't performed well for them in the Europa League and the limited league performances he's made. 

Arsenal are a side that like to pack the final third, he probably isn't getting that space to run beyond the strikers.

Being pedantic it didn’t work out when he was on loan

Being more pedantic we signed him on loan in September and perm in January

Could just do a swap with Arsenal, they can have Joelinton? £40m player right there.

[Big Geordie]

Some boy, is Joe

With his form, I can see Arsenal keeping him and getting a run in their midfield.

[La Parka]

First box to box midfielder with goals in him since speed? Cabaye was a different prospect. 

[joeyt]

Imagine if we loaned Choudhury instead of him

I could be wrong but didn't we want both? 

The alternative to Willock was Lingard. 

I've not seen a lot of Choudhury but I'd still prefer to see him and Joe in our midfield over Shelvey or Longstaff.

Could have got them the goals to take them up after they sold Maja. Such a shame.

[samptime29]

He works well for us because we are a more counter attacking side. He is really strong at making those runs into the box.

[GWN]

We’ve seen the last of him after this season , vital goals , likeable lad and a player whom I will always follow . 
 

Time let him go now 

[NG32]

I like this lad a lot, damn shame we cant keep him. 

[andyc35i]

I think they can be convinced to send him out on loan again next year 

[The Prophet]

For all we know he might not be in Arsenal's plans for next season. They could well have a managerial change and bring in a couple of new faces.

[Ketsbaia]

I imagine they'd sell one of Willock or Maitland-Niles, we just have to hope that AMN's versatility makes their decision.

[Danh1]

Cracking player and seems like a good lad too.

If there’s no takeover he won’t be here next season. Massive shame, but wish him all the best. 

[Candi_Hills]

I can't see us signing Joe Willock. It's takeover or no takeover. It's Veratti or an extended Jeff Hendrick deal.

[Lush Vlad]

As Brendan Rodgers once said "what a wonderful human being."

Seems level headed, has a bit of an x factor about his game and he is a lot faster than I thought.  Our CM's have been really slow or quite similar for years.  Great to see someone that is getting goals, has a bit of skill and can carry the ball a long way up the pitch.  

He's far too good for us, I'd say.  Best we can hope for is another loan or somehow getting a takeover sorted and buying him.  No idea what he is worth?  Young and English must mean he's valued at £20m-£30m?

Never let him take a penalty again. Dreadful run up.

Hope we sign him
