Where has this come from?

I'm surprised that MM is interested in this player as when he was at Watford Williamson put in a transfer request and to help push it through declared himself unfit to play.


MM would have to be in a very forgiving mood in my opinion.

Just because he ent rated at Newcastle then he won't suit us?

Statistically the 25th best player in Prem this season, click all players (not just minimum 20 apps)

Obviously, stats and everything and performances are subjective too, but hardly makes for bad reading does it :ayatollah:

For the bench or to replace Turner/Hudson?

good player in my eyes

For £2m it''s a good price I think. He was blamed by Newcastle supporters for their poor season last year but that is an absolute crock. My only concern is his lack of pace and the is something we need badly at the back.

I've never been convinced with him, a few times I have seen him play and dally on the ball, getting caught in possession in dangerous positions. I would rather someone more decisive and more no nonsense. As already said, he lacks pace as well and although he's a decent size, I think he's very slight for a centre back. Big target men like Benteke, Ba and Lukaku might make mince meat out of him.

Good player, would be a good addition and would probably take Hudsons place or give stiff competition to both CB's.

I'm not, I'm just stating fact. For the record I don't converse with Bazza,but you think it if you want,the steroids have finally got to that head of yours.

Saw a lot of Newcastle fans on Twitter who don't rate him, haven't seen much of him. Look in the dutch league for the centre backs because their are some potential talent there.

I think he's a bit better than them in fairness, I would hope we would be signing a bit better though. We got scouts in Central Europe etc, so I'd hope we'd be getting someone from there. Plenty of talent in that region, with a fraction of the price too

I just look at people like michu who cost 2m then we buy williamson for 2m, there must be better value abroad and better players for 2m

All paper talk at the moment mate, probably just an enquiry. Pl experience though. Malkys probably looking at all his options before he picks the right player for us.

Spot on. Cant argue with you on this one. You are right. £2m for Williamson would be stupid.

We l just have to wait and see, we are being linked with 1/2 people a day so this could just be anotha bullshit story. Hopefully, but if not we l just have to gwt behind him

Re: MIKE WILLIAMSON

Where has this story come from?

God I hope it isn't true. £2million for a pretty average player who's no better than Hudson/Turner. Seems like pretty bad value.

Cardiff consider Williamson
Last Updated: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:05

Cardiff are preparing to launch a bid for Newcastle defender Mike Williamson as they aim to retain Premier League status next term.
The Bluebirds won promotion via the automatic positions in the Championship, securing top spot with a comfortable eight-point gap over second-placed Hull.

Boss Malky Mackay has insisted he would like to keep a strong contingent of players who performed so well last season, but has also conceded that he will have to bring in some fresh faces with Premier League experience if they are going to beat the drop.

The Scot worked closely with the Magpies defender during a three-year spell together at Watford and believes he could be key in adding a solid base for the team to play from.

Newcastle are understood to be happy to allow the 29-year-old to leave for around £2million after he struggled to hold down a regular starting spot in the team following the signing of Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
