While 10 out and 4 does, on the face of it, look like cost cutting, there are other factors to take in to account. For example, maybe United let Willock out on loan ‘free of charge’ or for nominal charge? Not saying that’s the case, but we don’t always know the facts and figures.
I’d also be surprised if only 4 come in, but you seem to be in the know with you mentioning Cooke going. I don’t have the inside track unfortunately so you may well be right.
