Fenham Mag Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Pardew, though, also feels that consideration must be give to the centre-back area with Mike Williamson ruled out with an ankle problem for up to seven weeks.

Ashley17 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Still 4 weeks away according to one of the papers last week, chronicle I think. So 2 weeks by the time we play again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Everyone talks about the weakness up front or atleast they did and while we could do with signing a solid striker the central defence really has no depth whatsoever. Even when Williamson gets back to fitness we could really do with going out and signing another good centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 MIKE Williamson is facing another five weeks on the sidelines after suffering a setback in his bid to return from an ankle injury. The Newcastle defender has avoided surgery but admits he might not be ready to play until the New Year in a fresh injury blow for Alan Pardew, who is low on cover at centre-back. The former Watford man suffered the injury in the Carling Cup clash at Scunthorpe back at the start of September and was expected to be back in a month. However, he told the Chronicle: “It has been difficult. There has been a bit of a setback. “Not to get too technical, but there are three injury sites – two have healed but one is not healing as well. “It is getting better and by mid-December I will be back on the training ground and then it wll be about playing a lot of reserve games to get myself back up to speed as quickly as possible.” Williamson remains upbeat, though, and his attitude is typical of the new mood of unity at St James’ Park. Despite having to watch on while the defence wins plaudits, he said he was enjoying watching his United colleagues. Williamson added: “There are no mixed feelings for me. “I have just enjoyed seeing the lads doing well. People have said to me ‘are you gutted it will be difficult to get back in?’ “Not at all – competition is healthy. I would much rather come into a team doing well than a team scrapping around at the bottom of the league. “It is nice to step into a team doing well. It will be difficult to get back in but why worry about it? “I will work as hard as I can and hopefully earn my place, but I would much rather we were doing well.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/11/10/mike-williamson-suffers-fresh-injury-problems-72703-29751570/#ixzz1dJ068q9f another 5 weeks with perch waiting on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 That's ok, we'll be spanking £8-£10m on a new centre back in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Seems like people forget what a top job he did for us last year (mostly down to the fact he's been out for so long). Hope he's back soon. Ashame that, despite last season, he's really fallen behind Steven Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we know we have a 'like a new signing' coming in for free? If Perch is pushed into action before January and Williamson still isn't fit by then, our hand could well be forced. I'm not saying we'll go out and buy a top-class player, just that we'll get someone less shit than Perch in. Maybe Ridgewell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
