I am not a man........I am Cantona
Thought this might be of use here.............

I'll start off;

Whats the story with us and Chris Willock? I heard/read about our pursuit for a while now. Will we just approach him in March (his contract is up with Arsenal in July) and let a tribunal decide???
 
Isn't he very highly rated?

I'd be surprised if Arsenal lose him.
 
He is Matthews kid-brother. I think there are 3 Brothers

In fact I never quite understood how Arsenal could release Matthew - and it certainly makes it easier to snatch Chris as well

I believe he was a winger at Arsenal, which is weird considering how he's now every bit a central midfielder. The way he uses his body, his awareness and anticipation; all qualities put to better use centrally.

Nice to see good ol' Pogue around this neck of the woods again.

Nice piece.

I wonder what our chances are of getting him? Not very high, I imagine.

Not too sure. He turned 16 the other day and hasnt signed a scholarship yet where all the other lads Arsenal gave scholarships to have been announced
 
From the Mail:

United show persistence in chase of Arsenal youngster Willock

Manchester United are continuing their pursuit of Arsenal prodigy Chris Willock. The 16-year-old has been training with the Arsenal first team and is contracted until July but has yet to sign up as a scholar.

That means United could still sign him potentially for £300,000 compensation if the scholar forms remain unsigned. MailOnline revealed how Willock's elder brother Matty is already at United and they hope that can help persuade Chris to make the move north.
