A lot of Newcastle United fans have rushed to a Jetro Willems post in response to a tweet by Allan Saint-Maximin.
The Dutch international responded to Saint-Maximin after the Frenchman scored against Oxford United, and this gathered a lot of replies from many Toon fans.
Should Newcastle sign Willems in the summer?
Yes, if he makes a full recovery
No, they can do better
Some thought that this tweet from Willems was funny.

What do we think?
Willems, who is valued at £6.3m by Transfermarkt, became Steve Bruce’s first-choice left-back after a series of solid displays and two goals and two assists in the league.
However, a cruciate ligament injury suffered against Chelsea ended his season and put his potential permanent move to the Toon in doubt.
Certainly, the signing of Danny Rose will not help Willems’ cause, though it appears there is no option to buy in Rose’s deal.
Willems has a long road to recovery, but if he can prove his fitness, then Newcastle might decide to take him on a permanent contract in the summer.
