✍️ OFFICIAL Joe Willock (Out)

[Fewtch]

When did 90min.com become a trusted source lol?
£25m for the poor man's Dele Alli would be great business. Doubt it's happening though.

90min.com is tier 1

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

So about 40m sold Guendouzi 10m Mavropanos 5m obligation for those who confused and willock 25m and 70m spent. We managing the budget well there should be more sales to come i won't be surprised if we got more sales our net will be just about 70m or under.

 

[Rimaal]

90min were first @yousif_arsenal

Our bench was poverty today and we're selling one of our best performing midfielders last season. Joke of a club.

I fecking hate Arteta.

 

[RunTheTrap]

If we use that £25 million on Ødegaard, Ramsdale or Abraham we have taken a massive step backwards. It has to be used for Onana, Maddison or Martinez.

He wasn't best performing for us though. The form won't correlate over to us because we play in a different way.

 

[Barry]

Another terrible deal, well done Arsenal. I'm sad about this, but regardless I hope that Joe is a success next season at Newcastle.

We need to reinvest that fee into a midfielder asap now.

 

[Blankety Blank]

Never thought he'd go before Eddie or Nelson

Eddie is injured and Im not sure if there is serious interest in buying Nelson.
Id be temped to keep Reiss, doubt he will sign a new contract tbh

 

[Garrincha]

hopefully we will use the money to sack Arteta & his staff

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I could even make peace with this if I had any faith in those in charge to make good use of the money received from this transfer. Sadly Ramsdale, Ødegaard and Abraham are most likely on the menu.

 

[boonthegoon]

Decent deal for the club. All the best Joe!
Hopefully we will reinvest properly.

 

[Blankety Blank]

It's a risky move sale for sure, and the worst part is that players that need to go like Nketiah, AMN, Nelson, and a few seniors, will remain at the club. Willock was an easy sale, but as soon as things get trickier, they've failed offloading players.
For me, I was hoping Xhaka would go first, followed by Bellerin, those were important sales that Edu failed to complete

I like Joe but we have got a decent fee.
All the players you mention would likely go if we get decent offers.
What do you seriously expect Edu to do? Go and hold a gun to peoples heads until someone agrees to pay good coin for all our players?

Seems this one is done, bar any disagreements over personal terms:

Magpies agree deal for Arsenal's Willock

Newcastle agree a fee with Arsenal in excess of £20m to sign midfielder Joe Willock.

I wonder, is there a discussion on Newcastle forum debating Joe’s height, age or AFCON duties?

 

[Blankety Blank]

He will never be like Yaya as he doesn't have the technical ability.

Im still pissed with Arsène for not signing Yaya .
Kolo even brought him down here on trial ffs.
Remember that and being linked with Kompany all the time for a couple of seasons when we were still a big club & they both ended up as the major building blocks for Oil FC.

Or tracking his flight.

 

[rich 1990]

It's all very well saying it's a good fee, and it is, but what we do with it is another matter. What also looks really bad on Arteta is it's another young guy going out while we have some oldies still hobbling about.

One of our better loan deals tbf. Just need WBA or someone to offer us a decent price for AMN.
Has there been any advance on 2M & a packet of Rolos?

 

[Beksl]

Selling the top scoring English CM and the potential next Lampard for 20m is utter madness. More so when we trash like Xhaka, Partey and average mo in CM.

22m+ is a very decent fee. Our youth setup is starting to produce serious revenue streams which is something a self sufficient club desperately needs. That's Iwobi, Bielik, Willock fetching us around 70m. Add to that potentisl sales of Nketiah (hopefully) and AMN/Nelson and we're looking close to 100m from youth products in the past 3 years.. Very good job!

 

[Blankety Blank]

Liverpool do x y and z we need to do thst. We do it and it's daggers out. Getting rid of young talent incompetent failure of a manager.

Some people need a look in the mirror and need to get real. We just signed Esr (one of our top young talents) upto a new contract. Saliba is on loan he hasn't been sold. Arteta in his first season of professional management won the FA Cup. Does he need to improve, yes absolutely. But take off the blinkers. Joe Willock wasn't gonna feature for us. And when he didn't and we kept him everyone cries in 12 months why didn't we accept the 20m on offer?

Take the cash, move on, invest it, improve the squad and see what happens. Enjoy the ride. If not get off the ride.

Please stop it with your reasonable post on here
If you cant at least make the effort to have a decent meltdown and scream you are done with club ya can fook right off!!!

 

[drippin]

Nice to see there actually is a sell-on clause in the deal. Let's hope it's not 1 %.

My guess is that the club didn't see how Willock fits our tactics, and that Azeez will be our next development player for the 1st team.
