Joe Willock

[Fak]

Don't sell him to Parish man.

[r0cafella]

How long does Joe have left on his deal? 2 years?

[kingxlnc]

I don't mind, Willock plus 40m for Wharton?

Or Willock plus 20m for Guehi

 

Willock is at the end of his shelf life here, feel we need new blood in the middle. 

[Pixelphish]

80m to Parish.

[Hanshithispantz]

There's not many better sights in football than Willock knocking the ball past an entire defence and just running, but he isn't going to get the game time he needs.

 

What would we take, £25m?

I thought he was fine today. If you want to moan at someone Tonali had a bit of a shocker today.

 

The difference is Tonali has been outstanding for the majority of the season. People are criticising Willock because he's been poor for a long time, and didn't do much to change that. 

 

It's obviously easier to give Tonali the benefit of the doubt when he has a stinker than it is to give Willock the benefit of the doubt when he has yet another game where he's largely invisible/ineffective. It's not a one off. 

[Menace]

That signing actually makes sense for both parties - he would do well there too.

[Mazzy]

He'd do well for Palace. 

 

Involved in a deal for Guehi? Probably not but if Parish wants something from us he's far less likely to be a cunt about Guehi.

[ponsaelius]

I'd definitely sell him this summer if we got some proper interest.

[PauloGeordio]

London boy going home? (From Walthamstow).

If we sold him, we really would need more in midfield in the summer, to state the obvious. A real squad overhaul.

 

I like him as a player but he doesn't seem able to stay fit and is too inconsistent to be someone we can rely on if we're going to try and compete around the CL places. He's good for where we were, but maybe less so for where we're trying to get to. Somewhere like Palace might well suit both parties. 

 

It's going to be an exciting summer, and obviously so much of it hinges on grabbing that CL spot. It was the trigger for buying Tonali last time and one or two more of that calibre instead would make such a massive difference.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

I just cant see Willock playing at the level we need him to again, mainly through expected further injuries and lack of consistent game time. If he was going to be fit for a season and starting, I'd probably back him to be a good performer. I dont see either of those things happening though.

Generational talent now that he's linked with palace 😂 

Rinse the house elf of everything he's got.

Considering the fact that Longstaff seems likely to be going as well it really rockets CM up the priority list. I'm not actually keen on both of them leaving but if they both bring in some money then so be it. 

 

It would actually give us a good chance to re shape the type of squad we have currently. Take out two players in Willock and Longstaff who aren't particularly suited to a possession based game and bring in two players who are.

“Sorry Parish, I’m afraid your skanky Slazenger sock won’t buy a Willock. Marc Guehi on the other hand…”

 

[Weezertron]

Can't believe he's still so young. 

[STM]

Bollocks to that, let's let Parish think we are his mate and that he's "won", that way we can nick more of his players in the future.

I think fringe players like Willock always have a price, if we get a half decent fee we would sell. That money would then go towards buying someone next level I would imagine. Hopefully if he's playing the last few games he'll put in the performances to show his real value.

[andycap]

Got to be after atleast 30 million for him. 

We do tend to underate our players Longstaff aswell we are a top end team now not a relegation threatened team. 

So Willock and Longstaff should fetch a decent fee. 

[McCormick]

I like Willock, but I feel he has 3 games now to save his Newcastle career.
 

At his best he’s an erratic and speedy ball-carrying threat who gets into good goal scoring positions. At his worst though he’s far too clumsy in possession and very tactically naive. If we can somehow replace him with Ramsey and make a PSR profit; that’d be too good to turn down.

 

Personally speaking, I’m rooting for the guy.

[Miggys First Goal]

Sell please. 

[Menace]

Yeah I think the time has come to sell him.

 

Comes back from injury > few games to get up to speed, still underperforms > gets injured again

[JT24]

Can’t be relied upon. Certainly on my list to sell.

 

Sad to see but think this is a summer where we have to kick on and get in players who can contribute when we have 2 games a week. 

[nufc123]

If we can get some money sell. Hes a nice guy but he cant be trusted.
