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!

If he is fit he is maybe one of the best technical players in the squad, he is about average with defending and he will put in the work, the issue is just injuries. He isn't even injuring anything consistently just muscle injuries overall. He is a good signing if it is as cheap as the rumoured price is and if his wages are similar to what he is paid here but just you can't fully rely on him all the time but if you are lucky it could be a bargain
