Sibierski Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If we were undecided as a club if Willock should be sold, this month has made up their minds IMO. Not good enough for XI but then not reliable enough as a squad option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hard being critical of anything the season we're having, but when he's played he's not been great, and now injured again. Just need to get what money we can and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Never mind, just checked and there's a couple of years left so not going to be leaving for a pittance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so basically this summer it's shit or get off the pot. It's a no brainer sale for me, obviously contingent upon us replacing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, already said last week that I have no problem selling Willock and using that money to buy an understudy for Joelinton. Willock has a lot of attributes, but he's out for long periods, then when he does come back in he's had little impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 1 hour ago, r0cafella said: Injury prone contract expiring, not that young anymore etc. 2 years left. I would send him out on loan and extend the contract by a year to try and increase his value. Ideal world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal world. Your solution makes little sense in practical terms. If you send him out on loan we need a replacement, may as well sell him and buy a replacement for him.

Roman Chelsea did that model, but they also didn't need the cash upfront. We need a better CM regardless of what we do with Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock has been underwhelming this season when he's been fit, but we don't really have anyone else in the current squad who can do it. Unless you count Lewis Hall.

Our left centre mid role is quite a challenging role to play Joelinton dominates the whole left side of the pitch, high up and also tracking far back to support the left back. And he's a pretty good runner with the ball. And able to slot into a back 5, wing back etc when tactically required And he makes runs in behind / is a target for the long ball Prime Willock is better with the ball / attacking sense, but weaker defensively Don't think there's many like for like replacements, I like Ederson from Atlanta if we want more of the same, or Cunha if we want something different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not have the phsyical presence, but he does cover the left flank pretty well. I think the 3 centre back/wing back combo is the next best thing with our current squad.

He doesn't have to pull wide left, they can bring another dynamic to the side. Being athletic is a must though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
