Willock 03:04 - Jul 6 with 49702 views | stainrods_elbow | Sorry, I'm a little off the pace right now - what's the story with Chrissy? Is he in Girona? Moving to Newcastle for 10m or to Sunderland for a bag of sweets? Knuckling down for a campaign when he and we cream the Champ? Succinct updates please. | |

Willock on 12:03 - Jul 6 with 5715 views | DavieQPR | I've been saying for ages he would have problems finding another club. His problem is he thinks he is far better than he actually is. Pair this with family telling him how great he is and, if he does re sign, then there will be problems further down the line with a bad precedent set. | | | |
Willock on 12:22 - Jul 6 with 5611 views | BAWHoops | Decent Championship winger at this point and if we can keep him on our terms then useful to have in the squad. If not then no big loss really | |

Willock on 12:42 - Jul 6 with 5514 views | NorthantsHoop | The saga of Chris Willock has dragged on for too long, not really bothered if he re-signs or not, anyway we have a much more suitable fantastic replacement in Lucas Andersen who actually wants to be at the club. | | | |
Willock on 13:11 - Jul 6 with 5379 views | SydneyRs | If he stays, plays well and gets the kind of move he wants as a result, then I guess it's a win win. The lack of queue for his signature may put the ego back in its box for a while. | | | |
Willock on 13:18 - Jul 6 with 5368 views | WestonsuperR | I think he will move, he has clearly run his contract down looking for a sign-on bonus and potentially higher salary and I expect at least one Championship club will take a gamble on him. The delay is probably Willock hanging around for a deal which may be close to end of transfer windows but keeping options open with us in case nothing materialises. Not great miss considering attitude and overall performance last season, 1 goal in last 24. Let’s move on, trust Marti to get someone on using Willock’s salary. | | | |

There's someone we know we can go home with, but we're hanging on for someone better, something fresher. But now it's later and someone better hasn't turned up, and the fallback at some point is going to discover their pride and leave without you. | |

Interesting analogy given the video of the young lady who turned him down when he was trying to get his leg over the other week doing the rounds. | | | |

I suspect his main issue is his injury record. I'm guessing clubs can see how much he has missed, and maybe wonder if he is a diminished player since then or whether it's too risky to sign him and he e the injuries comes back. I'd be happy to sign him personally but relaxed about it. | |

Willock on 12:32 - Jul 7 with 3961 views | stainrods_elbow | If he's not in Girona, and he isn't, why isn't the club saying they're releasing him? He's no longer our player as things stand, unless he re-signs as a free agent. The story of the fall and fall of Matty Willock Northern cites is troubling in context - it smells like Willock is made of similar stuff, sadly. Clearly, the Lord moves in ways even more mysterious than yer man's pinging hamstrings. [Post edited 7 Jul 12:46]

The club can’t release him: his contract has ended. I think he is happy chilling out for the summer whilst his agent hawks him around to see what the ‘best’ offer they can get is. Perhaps they assume if nothing better materialises they can fall back on whatever QPR’s best offer is: if this is the case I hope QPR say sorry that deal is now off the table as you’ve had no preseason. | | | |

Willock on 09:46 - Jul 6 by BrianMcCarthy | Agree with those that say we should move on, and maybe should have by now. Willock is now a free transfer. I'm not sure we would be interested in this risky free transfer signing with his injury record if he hadn't played for us before. And 'played for us before' dowsn't seem like a smart reason to sign someone. |
Indeed, not many would see Willock as a “must sign” were his form and attitude over the past 18 months the only form to go on. | |

Willock on 13:03 - Jul 7 with 3839 views | PunteR | Goes without saying but great player on his day but his injury record and attitude not to mention his agents demands makes me not want him back. He's had his opportunities to play for us and has turned it down, so its a goodbye from me. | |

Willock on 21:33 - Jul 7 with 3451 views | sdm1508 | I think the club have been making plans for him not signing and maybe Chair going. That new kid Bennie looks like a replacement for one of them at least | | | |

I’d hope the club have learnt fo. Past players , and say context is on the table until Friday 5pm if it’s not signed there won’t be a second offer , choice is yours | |

You'd think if him and his dad were devout they'd behave in a more mannerly fashion. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, my son. | | | |
Willock on 22:21 - Jul 7 with 3234 views | Wilkinswatercarrier | I reckon the club have offered a low ball contract, with no expectation of him signing. He doesn't look like a MC player, too many times last season he wasn't working hard enough, the Norwich game at home was telling. Would the club be looking to sign him on a free from another club? Not a chance. I would be very surprised if he signs, and I would prefer it if he didn't. To much like his older brother Matty? | | | |
Willock on 22:48 - Jul 7 with 3149 views | StJude82 | He is a legend in his own mind. Seems to be generating a fair amount of negative feeling from our fans. Probably better he moves on and we'll get another geezer in. One that cares. | | | |
Willock on 18:07 - Jul 8 with 2710 views | TacticalR | The sad thing is that it looks like after that injury he got at Nottingham Forest, the old Willock (the one who ran past half the Middlesbrough team) is gone forever. | |

Willock on 19:37 - Jul 8 with 2491 views | NorthantsHoop | Just an observation but maybe off the mark at the Coventry away last game of the season, all our players spent a lot of time celebrating the end of season with us. Willock did not really come over to the Rangers fans until much later after spending quite a lot of time chatting to a couple of the Coventry players and to me look half hearted in celebrating our last victory. Reckon he has already gone but football is a funny old game and you never know he might be back, but not really bothered if he does come back or not a bit like his celebrating with us. | | | |
Willock on 11:33 - Jul 9 with 1922 views | hoops_legend | I know this might seem like a backdown but I would be happy to QPR to offer him a deal on the right terms. Perhaps he has had a reality check now and I still think he is a great player But he has to commit NOW | |
