Mark Irwin: Newcastle are closing in on a £22million deal for Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock. Steve Bruce cautiously confident of sealing deal before Newcastle’s PL opener on Sunday.

I’m going to make a prediction here. The Club are currently trying to sell dross to fund proper players. But we can’t sell the dross due to obvious reasons (they are dross on big wages). When we get to the last week of the window we will fold and end up selling assets we want to keep for the long term for relative peanuts. I’m talking Willock. That will allow us to buy someone we actually want. The same happened with Martinez. Martinez was sold to fund Partey because we couldn’t raise a bean on the likes of Kola, Mustafi, Sokratis etc. If we were flush I think we would have kept Martinez. Willock will then most likely go on to be worth £50m plus having been sold for about £12m to Newcastle.

Bump.

Exclusive: Newcastle have agreed a fee with Arsenal to sign Joe Willock on a permanent basis. Personal terms still need to be finalised so deal not yet done. Price would be in excess of £20m for the 21y England youth midfielder @TheAthleticUK #NUFC #AFC https://t.co/T0AIMXOqHN

As usual accepting a pittance for a box to box midfielder and keeping Xhaka . Willock may have things to develop but at least he moves around a bit.

I think once Pillock is sold we’ll move for Aouar

Just taking transfers and pre season and wrapping them up together...its really not looking too good for Arteta is it, not a whole lot has changed and if anything we're looking done for before a league ball is kicked

One can only hope (and )

If we were obsessed with him last summer and he is now about half price, it’s a no brainier.

Would only leave us a right back, keeper and another CM to be competitive
(For a EUFA cup spot)

Would rather keep Willock than Nelson, Maitland - Niles, Xhaka, Bellerin, Willian or Nketieh but £20m can’t be turned down for a squad player.

Finally we've sold a player!! Still stuck with a load of garbage that no one else wants though.

Sadly I dont think that will happen - this clueless c.unt will pish the money away on shite like ramsdale and abraham and then wonder why we are even worse than last season

Aouar should be a no brainer given our pursuit of him last season and his reduced price now

[BobbyPires7]

Dead cert the Willock money is going on Ramsdale.

Arteta’s roof could blow off of his house and he’d spend the insurance money on a swimming pool. The bloke has no fucking clue.

[mcdowell42]

Arsenal and Newcastle have reached an agreement over the permanent transfer of Joe Willock.

Story first reported by @David_Ornstein and final fee expected to be in the region of £25m (including add-ons and a sell-on clause).

It's there but we didn't know how to find it.. We don't play for a mobile midfielder much prefer to dwell on the ball and pass it square or back.

[Clummo99]

And there's the "screamer against Liverpool" that I mentioned before that some people use as a reason to keep the very average Joe Willock.

[TeeCee]

£25m for Pillock is fantastic money for someone who never really did it for Arsenal. He may have a good career……I personally doubt it but some players just need a move to blossom, hell, we’ve benefitted from it a fair few times!
Now we need to sell 3 or 4 others, even if it’s for 10m each!
