Wilbur Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Initiated by us or Man U ? Is their new manager checking out what he has available ? Nah, dumped by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Looked good in flashes , but didn't look like he enjoyed the physical side of the Scottish game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, dumped by us. Probably us IMO. I don’t think Solskjaer will be given much freedom to build his own team with him being only interim, and I don’t see Willock suddenly featuring in the starting XI. My guess is that Oran has plans in place to start to build his own side, and releasing Willock frees up a wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gotti Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I think Willock is out of contract in the summer so I would expect his agent is trying to get him another loan to try and generate some interest in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo_j Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Performed as the Jonny fans said he would. Some decent flashes but doesn’t impose himself on the game. There’s a player there (especially given his family appears to be the McGinns of Scotland!) but he needs to be braver, both on the ball and physically.

Ayrshire Saints Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Correct decision - real stamina issues couldn't go more than 45 mins which for a guy of his age is a nonsense. Must be better out there even in our price range in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Very poor for us. His positional sense on the pitch was woeful as witnessed at Livingston. Don't think he played a full 90mins. Never a hope in hell he will ever play in MUFC 1st team. Won't be missed we have better youngsters than him and a few others.

Lord Pityme Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Have to say if this is the start of an exodus of the youn talent we had on loan/signed then i worry for what we are left with at the end of January. Are Jones, Cooke and Edwards also being hounded out by the boo boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Almost certain 2/3 you mention will still be here... however, if they leave it’ll be because the relevant staff at the club see them as surplus to requirements not because of ‘being hounded out by the boo boys’. Aside from this (excluding Edwards) the ‘boo boys’ give more stick to the likes of Baird and Mullen than the players you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Often came across like he didn't have a clue what he was supposed to be doing. Fair enough for him to go back to Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he could be a decent holding midfielder. Just my opinion. OK knows better so better left to his judgement. Coys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Given the level of performance that the team have put in so far there are probably only a couple of players who can be sure that they will be retained. Hounded out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Pity we could not combine Willock and Edwards as there would be a player in there. But we can't and have two guys with only 50% of what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddie-Boy Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Anton Ferdinand contract up in January apparently.

If he gets an offer from down south, with Hammil off, and if Jones goes back to Southampton The die will already be cast i fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
