Cardiff closing in on their first summer signing. Chris Willock poised to join on a free after leaving QPR.

Club have prioritised that wing position, along with a striker, in this window.




Updated


Rumour has it that City are close to finalising a deal for Chris Willock now that his contract at QPR has come to an end.

Its most likely just twitter gossip, but if its true then it's one I could get behind.

Nippy winger, decentish return on goals for a winger, and adds to a position we need to bring someone in for.

Annis, he’s a winger and has nearly twice the amount of goals/assists last season than Rubin Colwill has in the last two seasons.

A winger on a free is good business, which means we should be able to concentrate more funds on other targets.

As we know, we need more depth on the wings and likely need our cash on other positions too.

He’s a winger not a striker.

Great free signing.

This week people were having melt downs because 10 players haven’t signed yet.

Patience they will come.

Sounds like a “front 3” type of winger then, which I’m hoping we are leaning more towards instead of the 4-2-3-1, prefer 4-3-3. So if he can score that much cutting inside then hopefully we can see an uptick in goals.

Yes please. And an underrated position we need upgrading is the 6.

If we can have someone not just break up play but also take control of our attack, help transition and progress the ball, we will see a huge improvement in the way we go from defence to attack, maybe even keep possession which we lack.

If that’s an indication of the quality of player we’re looking to get in, I’m going to be very excited.

Very good player at Championship level .

Can be very good / exciting / but can be lazy & injury prone?

:thumbright:

We still need to sign a striker who will score goals, but Willock looks like a good first signing to play on the wing.

I hope he’s a winger who tries to get to the byline and NOT an introverted winger. These are the sort of players who get the fans excited.

Re: Updated “ Chris Willock to sign for Cardiff City “

Wed Jul 10, 2024 5:17 pm

This seems to have gained some traction now with multiple sources claiming that its imminent that its happening. I originally thought it was bullshit twitter talk.

This is the type of signing I want to see.

Re: Updated “ Chris Willock to sign for Cardiff City “

Wed Jul 10, 2024 5:45 pm

I’m always a little sceptical of YouTube ad often the player in question is playing against inferior opposition or there’s just one clip being shown about 20 times but everyone needs to look at this. Against championship defenders too. Incredible.
