Willock

Apparently he has a £50m buy back clause with Arsenal.

surely we just give him a new deal given we are stinking rich and Arsenal just blew their only title shot for the next decade?

 

Would he want to go back to Arsenal?
Love the way he runs with the ball. And can use both feet. Unlike one of our other wingers.

 

He's an Arsenal lad, but if he is living it up here and we are set to dominate the PL what motivation does he have for going?
Like I say the quick fix is to surely get him to sign a new deal and remove clauses like that (or at least up the value to £75m).

 

Renegotiating a contract with Willock wouldn’t remove that clause. That was between Newcastle and Arsenal?

 

I'd take 50m for Willock like... He's going to be a good squad player but that's about it.

For 50m we could buy Maddison or buy 2 decent options.

 

Willock is not just a very good footballer, he's also a very good athlete. Keep him, he's gonna get even better.

 

Why go back they're more likely to fall out the top 4 than newcastle now

 

£50m and put it towards Saka

Otherwise I'd want him to stay, think we can compete with Arsenal for wages and he's thumping the badge on his shirt, saying we have the best fans, best stadium etc. so not sure he would go back to be a squad player at Arsenal.

 

He supports arsenal I think he'd go tbh .

Depends what's going on

 

Depends how its going tbh if Newcastle fall away he'd probably go snd if arsenal do he'd stay

 

Covering all eventualities, I like it!

If Arsenal and NUFC are battling it out at the top though?

 

Also just a quick message of consolation for Joe Willock, brutally had the title of "best assist in the last 15 years" ripped away from him within 4 days of having it.

 

I've come unstuck recently with Newcastle set to land top 4 , but I'll just inform everyone its been text book reverse psychology.

 

clubs don’t have ongoing contracts. I’d imagine it is in his contract like a buy out clause would be. Stands to reason he’d want it in if he ever needed to go home as he developed. Remember who was in charge when we bought him.

 

If it’sa buy back clause then yes its ArsenalS contract with nufc not Willocks. Obvs Willock would still have to agree to the transfer

 

Willock is ****ing outstanding. Brilliant player, will only get better. All we need is a decent young DM then we can change all manner of things up, but I want Willock more than I’d want Bellingham.

 

I like Maddison but right now no way I would take him over Willock. He's been unbelievable for us this season. Vital part of the team.

 

Not according to Opta

 

It doesn’t count as an assist because it hit Tarkowski before reaching Murphy.
