Dave Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 His form for the last 12 months has been exceptional. He started off his career here ridiculously badly but, over this last year, i personally haven't seen a centre-back be as consitently assured and comfortable since Woodgate. But i've not seen many decent centre-backs for this club. Looking every inch a £10m centre-back atm. Williamson works very well with him, too. Not to be overlooked that fact IMO. Both deserve credit for how well they're playing as a partnership so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 At the moment Williamson looks an absolute fucking bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Undisclosed fee, but around £4m as I recall - already worth that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're an in-form partnership, and one I wouldn't be looking to split anytime soon. Not for Taylor or Campbell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 £4m Williamson? Doubt that very much. They couldn't afford to play him and only paid about £2m themselves didn't they? (Plus Ashley would have never spent that much for him). I would be shocked if we paid much more than a million, 2 at a push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bill Arfa Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Whoever spotted Williamson is a hero tbh.. he wasnt even playing when we bought him, and when he came in everybody quite rightly doubted him but hes proved a top signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I think they've both been quality this season. Colo is easier on the eye but Williamson should get much more credit as he's matched Colo's performances for the most part. As I say though, both quality. Edit- I don't mean more credit than Colo btw, I mean more credit than he's getting. Just to clear that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I think Colo has been better because he has just been immense but Williamson has stepped up with ease and looks as good as most tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Williamson's definitely the unsung hero in our team, but it's probably understandable when you're playing alongside Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 they're a great pair as a cb, willos more the old fashioned ballwinning cb while colos the ballplayer they compliment each other really well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 At one stage of the match, Carroll on the ball deep in our half, who was racing towards the mackem goal on the left all alone like some kind of winger screaming for the ball?

Pilko Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Coloccini-Williamson is an excellent partnership, they've both done terribly well since last January when playing together. Williamson is very harshly judged on here too, everyone wanting to drop him for Sol Campbell every fucking week. He's earned his place in the team, and should only be removed from the team if injured or if he suffers a loss of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 We have cried out for a settled CB pairing forever. We now have that in Colo/Willo. Both different, but complement eachother very well. I have watched the way they communicate and cover for eachother - immense. I think the fact that they have different styles is a huge bonus and I do think Colo is benefitting from Williamson's physical style and presence.

Anderson Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Just need Williamson to get curly hair too and we are sorted. Remember when some shit rag ran a story of Barca wanting to swap Puyol for Saylor. A centre back pairing of :colo: and :colo: would've been one heck of a sight.
