Didn't think the ref was spectacular by any means but he handled Woltemade fairly which is super rare. There was one or two he still didn’t get. He did look a good bit better. Teammates still aren’t passing to feet to him enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 He’s getting minutes which is good and he’s able to do a solid job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Shows flashes of genuine vision but the speed of the Prem is a problem for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Still think he either plays up front or not at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurentRobert Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Biggest red flag is teammates are clearly ignoring him even when he's in space and good positions. I just don't think he suits the tempo of the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcline Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Didn't think he was particularly good tonight but I'll die on the hill that he's an absolutely quality player I thought he looked more willing to put it about physically and mix it though, which was great to see, won a few headers quite aggressively in the second half before he went off too. As an aside, more evidence he's obviously a great lad, there was what looked like Bayern Munich youth teams on some sort of trip who were at the game and he gave his shirt to one of them and spent a bit of time with them after.

TRC Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I think he will be class in our Europa league squad. Let him and Wissa stat pad against farmers next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central like a 10 when we had possession, but of a Joelinton position when they had it. However since Gordon went up front we are a lot more fluid apart from the back 4.

madras Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 More to this, I've just watched MotD analysis of our goal and we are so bloody hard to pick up. Willock has made that move a few times when he sees that gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately he is injury prone, consistently. I'd love him to get the winner against Barca next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Willock is better recently. Still prefer to cash in but if the offer is not good enough then he could stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Willock was brilliant in that 22/23 season when we finished 4th, his ability to accelerate in tight spaces is still unmatched in the midfield. Still, pretty injury prone and two years left on his deal. Think there will be a mutual parting of ways this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Woltemade will come good. I said the same about Wissa recently. And I said the same about Ramsey and Elanga for most of the season. I think both Wissa and Woltemade have been taken out the team because they aren't where we need them to be, and I suspect both will be doing a lot of work on the training pitch. We know that eventually that pays off with Howe. Woltemade will also 100% be here next season because nobody is paying the £60m fee it would take for us to not book a loss on him (and the only club who could/would buy him from a wages POV is Bayern).

Spending 70m on a striker to replace the best striker we've had since Shearer and he doesn't get on the pitch over 2 legs in a CL knockout tie against Barça and is barely getting any minutes in the league as he's now found himself behind a LW and a raw, unpolished chaos merchant in the pecking order I really want it to work out for him here but there comes a point where you just have to accept that it's likely not going to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) 48 minutes ago, TRC said: We will loan wolte out imo. Honestly, it won't happen. You'd need to find someone to cover his wages + around a £6m loan fee to avoid booking a loss in year. The only team in continental Europe that could afford to do that deal is Bayern. I guess there is a chance they do that with him as Nico Jackson's replacement with a buy option. But Bayern aside the only other place he can go from a financial perspective is probably a PL side - and I can't really see an Everton or Palace doing that in the knowledge that if he does well, he'll return to us (and probably more to the point, I'm not sure he's shown them enough this season for them to want to do it).
