Dan Is The Man Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Stubbs just on the radio there. Sounds as if Willock is a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be happy to get more attacking width in midfield, a stronger/experienced centre half and cover at LB/RB. Even if we sign Willock today, I'd think we still want at least another 5 after that.

Callum Gilhooley Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Stubbs describes Willock as big , powerful and a physical presence at over 6ft tall, the ever reliable Wiki has him under 5ft 8 . I dont know anything about this guy , anyone see him in action last season for the fakes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think kellerman needs some development time. If Willock is a better-developed version and is ready to plug and play then it's a good thing for us overall. Getting up the field with pace (i hope he has some) is always going to keep the opposition defenders on the back foot, especially if we have some wide options as well. Might be a good signing.

buddies1877 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 To be fair to Kellerman we haven't seen much of him. Is this cos he didn't sign him ???He started the Spartans game and came on as a sub in the killie and Sunderland game. He signed Cody Cooke he’s prob been seen less than Kellermann If we get Willock in certainly looks like a good addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Kellerman and Cooke might benefit from short term loan deals. It's a bit of a step up for them, and, depending on who else Stubbs brings in, they might get limited first team opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could probably step in to a stronger team and do ok but play too many of the new recruits at the one time, or play them in a team that's not got leaders on the park, and they struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buddies boss has also made a move to pip St Johnstone to land Manchester United’s Matty Willock.” A Robert grieve story. Greg Stewart would be a good addition don’t know anything about the other 2 Also mentions a Spanish winger coming in on trial https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2984906/greg-stewart-nicolia-brock-madsen-matty-willock-st-mirren-transfer-news/ All sound good. Ideally alongside a proven goal scorer and canny auld heid like Dobbie. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maboza Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I see a few folk on twitter ready for a meltdown because his wiki said he’s 5ft 8 and Stubbs has said he’s 6ft 1 or so. Turns out Stubbs is right. Folk really need to get a grip and take a look at themselves. It’s turning into a tidal wave of unnecessary negativity - waiting to pounce at any and every opp to have a go at Stubbs. Sad days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
