Beth Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) No one knows what his wage demands are but when you consider we were paying non-entities like Muto 50k a week and Shelvey is on 80k you can understand why he'd be upset if we're offering him around 30-40k..........

Anderson Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Still can’t understand no other club being in for him, especially at the price quoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Doesn’t matter if it goes through or not really, in fact I hope it doesn’t to sicken the season ticket renewers on Sunday. We’re a dead club, utterly fucking pointless. Seems Willock is aware of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'd rather we signed him as I'll doubtless get sucked into watching a handful of games next year. Not particularly arsed though. It's laughable that we're charmless and gormless enough to run into issues with the kid's contract though. Pathetic, as is standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Will have a chuckle if we have put all our eggs in this basket only for him to tell us to fuck off. It’s what everyone should be telling Ashley and his little bunch of bitches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 With Steve Bruce telling everyone how much we wanted him, of course Willock was going to demand the earth to move - especially if it's true he preferred a loan to a permanent move. Clearly Willock isn't too fussed in extending his seven goals in seven games record... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Linton Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not a chance we should be giving him a three year deal if that's what the stumbling block is. Problem is you just know we don't have an alternative lined up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Length of deal is potentially mitigated by putting a release clause (fee or what the club achieves) in you’d have thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the deal here goes sour, looks like he will be getting a lot of bench time as no other club seems interested at the price. Looks like Arteta wants to utilise the cash also as it’s obvious he doesn’t want him. Maybe a last minute loan deal to one of the bottom half clubs or abroad to try and get the cash deal next summer. Just have to wait and see I suppose as Ashley won’t agree to demands if he thinks they’re too high. Edited August 12, 2021 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if Arsenal have put a sell on % to any future sale as that would cause a massive issue with any release clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, but if Willock (or his agent) is wanting to keep the release clause relatively low, then that's when the issues occur. Just can't see Ashley accepting that.

Dokko Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 End of the day he's not getting £60kpw, a low release clause and a 3 year deal, not when we're paying the thick end of £25m for him. I don't see any other team doing so either and this may be why other clubs just haven't bothered with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Typical NUFC to do things absolutely arse first as usual. Standard practice these days personal terms are agreed then the clubs thrash it out, not us, ooohhhhhhh no. Fucking idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
