I always thought he was a decent player. Definitely more of a wide player than striker but his strike rate for that position is pretty impressive.

Pretty good start for a free.

If Chris Willock signs on a free - this will be one of the best business we have done for not paying a fee .

Willock is the brother of Joe Willock who plays for Newcastle ( same as the Murphy's positional wise ) - Hopefully better ;)

On his day Chris Willock is as posted a good player in this league - plays out wide and has a good shot on him .

This will be Karlan Grants replacement. Is he any better? Not sure, but a decent Championship player.

I agree grants replacement i would have liked to have seen grant bsck
My mate plumber is a season ticket holder he said about willcock his days of turning on the style are few and far between
and has spent a lot of time on the treatment table
so perhaps not quite the replacement we think

Might be wrong, but I don’t buy that at all.

QPR fans were pleased when initial reports said that Willock was signing a new contract. So any negative comments from them may be a bit of sour grapes as he turned down a new deal there to join us.

I also wanted Grant to stay but if WBA are asking for stupid money then it’s just not worth it. We want to bring in good players, but can’t be ripped off.

Why fo our fans always consider new players injury prone and that's why clubs get rid of them? Even Rambo played around 30 games the season before coming here ....

I did read on another football forum (just a generic one) that the general consensus among QPR fans is that he can be frustrating at times, but is definitely a good signing.

Chris Willock signs a three-year contract at Cardiff City.


Chris Willock

“I think I can offer a lot here. I like to get on the ball as much as possible, make things happen, run at players, score and create goals. Hopefully, I can do that while I’m here.”

As others have said if this is the quality of signings then we could be in for a good season.

Great free signing.

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

Patience they will come.
