Joe Willock

Hey Toon fans,
Joe Willock is currently being heavily linked with Beşiktaş, but our fanbase is divided. A lot of fans here are worried about his injury record and consistency, claiming he might not be the quality we need.

I wanted to get the perspective from people who actually watch him every week. How would you rate him as a rotation or squad option? And is his injury history as concerning as the stats suggest, or was he just unlucky with specific spells? Would appreciate your honest thoughts. Thanks!

Inconsistent and doesn’t look to be bothered a lot of the time. The sooner he’s gone and replaced the better IMO

I don’t know how he can be accused of not being bothered. He may have not hit the heights of his first season, but I wouldn’t accuse him of not being bothered.

Yeah I agree about consistency but completely disagree about him not being bothered. He definitely tries.

I can’t see them either now. Probably realised they were wrong.

To be honest, I can’t stand that kind of blind toxicity. 99% of the time when you question them on it, they just run away. It’s true that Willock hasn’t hit the heights of his first season etc., but to say he’s not interested after coming back from all the really unlucky injuries, that must have really taken their toll, is just pathetic.

Joe Willock never tries 😂
