He seems to be training away from the main Benfica squad, does this mean he may be the incoming when Grant hopefully goes.

Probably will be top drawer against us if WBA anything to go by. |

£750,000 + add ons could prove to be a huge bargain. I'd say "let's hope" this doesn't come to bite us in the arse, but inevitably it will. |

Wage demands story was probably true... because of the extra bit of 'northern tax' we need to pay for him to live up here would probably made his demands massive! |

Can’t compete with QPR on wages? Really?

Having signed Mbenza and Diakhaby we wouldn't know value for money if it slapped us in the face

Id very surprised if we look back on this in a few years time as an opportunity missed. Too many weak areas to his game to ever be much more than average championship level

I think it’s hard to judge any of our wingers over the past few years whilst they’ve been asked to be play in such negative set ups.
I’ve even got half a hope Diakhaby or Mbenza could come good (that’s probably deluded)
Willock got 2 in 14 I think I read on here. And I think they weren’t by any means full appearances which over a season could get him 7-9 goals which wouldn’t be terrible and if played with a little less restriction. Who knows

What do you think Town should have been willing to pay as a maximum? £10k? £30k? £50k? £70k per week. |

If we were paying all that i’d only want to pay him 10k, if we could get him for 1 million i’d pay him 20k? |

And most of those were distinctly average. But then you only have to look at Brewster to see that football has learnt nothing from the last 7 months |

Based on the majority of his languid performances last season, for me he doesn't look the type that would particularly enjoy CC's style.

Cowley's style was to stifle any creative and attacking intent out of every player, play with 10/11 behind the ball and grind out a 0-0. Coberan on the other hand seems to want to press and attack with numbers, surely someone like Willock would thrive under that system instead of being camped in our own half? |

No winger is going to thrive when he’s aiming for one man in the box with a cross. Willock’s delivery was very hit and miss but if he’s got 3 or 4 to aim for it gives him the chance to be more effective and that will help to build his confidence. He also has composure and could pick a decent pass so would do better in a system that gives him more options. |

You would think by now that the many examples of the so called young prodigy's going for huge sums and not returning on that investment would have stopped this. The fact that players like Vardy, Wilson, hourihane, traore etc are able to step up and do so well should show teams like Sheffield United that the young players from the top teams aren't the only option and going down that route isn't inevitable |

Having signed Mbenza and Diakhaby we wouldn't know value for money if it slapped us in the face Koroma Pipa Grant Toffolo Schindler Kachunga Lossl Hefele Van la Parra Three or four bad ones granted but our signings over the last four or five years have largely been bargains that have been successful |

I think Willock will do well this season. I really think he would have improved our team and contributed goals. You have to remeber he was rusty and had hardly played prior to comming here.

Agree with regards to Cowley stifling players. I was more looking at Willocks fitness. He didn't strike me as a player with the engine to get up and down the pitch. He would have to get back and cover Pipa a hell of a lot over 90mins |

Once the mighty QPR came in for him with their financial clout and fan base what chance did we have?
We are having to scrape by with the millions given in parachute money. At least we fought off Rotherham for Danny Ward.
