Top, top player, there is a good chance he will eclipse Summerville this season in terms of value to the team. Getting his goals stats might be hard as he is more than a one position player whose impact on the game is more than just goals. His link play, ball retention and game management is exceptional at this level.
Excellent news, he was brilliant against SW.

Good to see a modicum of loyalty.

There are no exit clauses in the deal either.

Rest of the players never had an issue with him last season

Good to have him pinned down, stops the January speculation and perhaps dispels some of the rumours of him wanting away

THIS. One of the bright spots this transfer window. He’s been looking much more lively this season (including preseason). Think he realizes that it’s his time to shine now that his buddies have departed. Also think seeing the pathway of those two departures to higher profile clubs (at present) gives him reason for optimism and confidence that he’s in the right place…he’s in a win-win situation.

Willy enjoying his new role playing in a more central role.

Had a good game vs Hull, needs to time his runs a little better as he was caught offside four times.

Yes he is looking very good but his body language when he gets the hook is not good. He's young and no player likes to get substituted when they are in good form but it's something he needs to work on
