I always have more respect for the kids who take a step down but are really just backing themselves to perform, much more than those who say they want to fight for a place at a big club but really just want to stick around in their comfort zone and never get on the pitch.

Best for all parties really. All the best to him at Newcastle.

I donā€™t know if I should put him in my FF team.

Just saw this.
Good luck to him. Better than many give him credit for.

His older brother Chris was the same leaving us to go to Benfica for a few years, that family is made of the right stuff.

Didnā€™t rate the lad really but his instagram post made me sad. All the best Joe, smash it at Newcastle and come home.

Fuck itā€™s astounding that run of form he went on late last season, this seasons form is what I expect from Joseph Willock.

I think Bruce wasnā€™t helping him as heā€™s being playing a lot deeper compared to last season which is pointless for a player of his type but yeah itā€™s good we took the money.

Heā€™s not that caliber of player.

To be fair to Willock, he doesnā€™t seem to be playing as far forward as he was last season.

Since Howe has taken over, heā€™s played Willock in a 2-man midfield. You canā€™t play Joe Willock in a 2-man midfield.

Yeah heā€™s a 4-3-3 or nothing for me.

There were actually quite a few cries to keep him. Definitely a lesson to always sell unless they look generational. Shame we didnā€™t pocket AMNā€™s funds in a similar fashion.

Or 4-2-3-1 with him in behind.

He canā€™t be made to have too much defensive responsibility, itā€™s pointless and takes away from the player he is.

Glad we cashed in though, nothing more than a purple patch.

Said at the time this was great business, some people thought weā€™d sold too cheap lmaooooo

Willock and his crew(Nelson, Sancho, Rashford, etc) all having a mare of a season. What the fuck are they doing during their free time?

#982

Not even recorded one assist over the last two seasons.

20/21 14 games 8 goals
21/22 29 games 2 goals
22/23 25 games 7 goals?

But but I thought he was a goal scoring midfielder and Arteta should get sacked for shipping him??

One of the few good pieces of business done along with the ox and iwobi sales.
