The Northern Echo reporting Willis to Sunderland
Would he even get in the team here now?
I’d be delighted with this signing.
Was your best player in the 1-1 draw against us in my opinion.
I'm interested to know how so many of our supporters know the salary Willis will be on when playing for a club he hasn't even signed with yet that are in the same division as us.Why? He'll be on a higher wage and probably a nice signing on fee.
They will all be pissing themselves at this embarrassment of a post. And rightly so.
Love it!I think somebody has been watching football factory in their best Tacchini tracksuit.
A slightly hungover response I think I need a dark room for the day lol l
what on earth is that? It's homo erotic at best.
People saying he wouldn’t get in our team, based on what? We don’t know much about Rose and McFadzean could end up being another Ogogo or Brown. I’m not writing any of the new signings off, but I’ll be reserving judgement until the first few games.
Agreed I think we have upgraded though this yearI don't know much about Rose, but McFadzean is an upgrade on Willis. That's not to say Willis isn't any good but I don't think we'll miss him.

Only thing with McFadz and hyam is less pace.
Willis was excellent for City. Great servant who always gave 100%. Only issue is he is injury prone. I always thought we were a better team with him in it. Not to forget his super strike at Wembley. I wish him well wherever he goes.

This. Jordan Willis is brave and quick, but for me his distribution was always iffy. Good luck to him (although if he plays against us, I hope it's at full back!)Only thing with McFadz and hyam is less pace.
His distribution wasn't the best and his speed got him out of trouble on numerous occasions. Saying that I'm not going to make out he was rubbish just because he's left, would have had no issue with giving him a new contract.This.

They'd have to build one firstAs part of their respective deals do Lee and Jordan have to display their Checkatrade and Play off final medals in the Sunderland Trophy Cabinet?
Been reading in their forum and yeah they're cutting their losses, by the looks of it they're actually in severe financial difficulty and have had a failed takeover. Hence releasing a lot of their higher earning players and only signing players on freeSeems a strange one for both him and Sunderland. I thought he would have been looking at championship club so am a bit surprised he’s going there, and I thought they would be looking at higher level defenders unless they are cutting the wage bill down
He hasn’t missed many games but does seem to have been carrying injuries for the last couple of seasons. Been plenty of limping during and at the end of games.Willis being injury prone is an absolute myth.
In the last 5/6 seasons, he's made over 30 appearances per season, in most over 40. He had one bad injury in the mowbray season

Or the offer from a higher level didnt come in. How long can you afford to wait? Perhaps he felt he needed a new challenge?Will just show the playing/ testing at a higher level stuff is just nonsense.
MR always seemed to be saying that Willis was being monitored/had a knock etc. Although he's not missed a massive number of games in each season he has at least one or two periods where he's missed a few games on the bounce through injury and sometimes has come back as a necessity rather than because he's totally fit. He just always seems to be carrying a niggle of some sort or other.
Very surprised if he is joining another L1 team, even if it is one who can probably pay higher wages. I wonder if he thought he'd get at least one offer from the Championship to test himself at a higher level, but didn't officially turn down our offer just in case. Then when MR said in the interview he'd definitely gone and there was no longer a place for him to come back to he had to sort something out for himself.
He has a recurring and I believe chronic knee injury. Hence why if we went through busy periods of matches he had to miss one. He was managed well like I lot of players have been over the years. Doesn't mean he is injury prone. Injury prone suggests he gets an injury every week, and doesn't make it onto the pitch, when we all know he does.
Imagine Willis telling his partner that they have to move to Sunderland?
It must be like how the jews felt going to auschwitz only far far worse.
I think Sunderland have got themselves a more than capable defender at this level. His speed is his asset and it more than compensates for his occasional positional lapses. I feel a little sorry for the lad as I am sure he, like the rest of us, expected him to be in a championship team this season.
As for burge you have a better than average shot stopper but a keeper who has lapses in concentration, gets stuck on his line too often and who loses confidence too quickly. His distribution is woeful at times; if you sit on half wY you will gather his clearances more often than your forwards.

I wouldn’t gloat, just go and look at Burge’s performance.
Willis thought he was good enough for the championship, but looks like the championship disagreed.
Our squad is looking better than last seasons, I can’t say the same for yours.
