A lot of Newcastle United fans are delighted to hear that their club are closing on their third signing of the window.
Last night the Toon agreed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for Danny Rose to join on loan till the end of the season.
Will Rose be the ideal replacement for Willems?
Yes, still a great player despite a dip in form
No, well past his best
The 29-year-old rejected the advances of Bournemouth and Watford to make the move north – he is currently on the way to Tyneside to have his medical.
Rose is also familiar with the North East as he spent a year with Sunderland during the 2012-13 season.
Newcastle securing a deal for Rose is a coup, and it has gone down brilliantly on Twitter with these Toon fans.

What do we think?
Jose Mourinho had an argument with Rose, and the England international wasted no time in sorting a deal out for himself.
Newcastle lost Jetro Willems to season-ending injury two weeks ago, and to bring in Rose for the rest of the season could turn out to be a brilliant deal.
The Doncaster-born defender, who is valued at £18m by Transfermarkt, has 29 England caps and has played 183 matches in the Premier League.
There are conflicting reports about the clauses in the contract with Sky Sports reporting that there is no option or obligation to buy while Craig Hope believes that there is an obligation to purchase.
Either way, this is a good signing for Newcastle.
