toontownman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yoan Gouffran http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/7938359/Gouffran-heads-for-Bordeaux-exit Goalscoring winger, last year of contract, 26 years old, French. Would be a typical signing for us, though quite a lot of interest there. Allergic to grass "embarrassing" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We'd probably have to pay up quite a hefty sum for Williams, unless he's in the last year of his contract or something. He's a good defender and footballer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well it is a tough one but I think we should be buying someone that is better than both Saylor and Willo. Williams wouldn't be the worst choice but I don't think he will dislodge Saylor. Just being snobbish after the Douglas/Mbiwa links. Could still see us going back in for Pieters tbh.

Pilko Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ashley Williams would be absolutely superb. Really hope we can get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 28 next month, fee shouldn't be too high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Surely at 28 he's at the top of his game? And not that old for a CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont agree tbh, Williams is quick, strong, a beast in the air and comfortable in possession as well having a very good range of passing. What's not to like? He could dislodge Saylor, its not a forgone conclusion but id be happy with Williams and Taylor fighting for a spot both are quality IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'd be happy with Williams, though it will put too much weight on Taylor being fit and partnering Colo imo, which is something I wouldn't want to bank on. Ideally, either a near Colo-quality CB or a versatile CB who could cover at FB would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Maybe, the upside is he might be more willing to be patient in working for his chance. Could see Douglas less patient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that too, both him and Taylor wont expect to start every game although they would want to and obviously the better performer will get the start. Also due to his ability on the ball we could have Taylor and Williams and rest Colo for some games. I like it personally, i hope there is actually truth to it.

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Aye, I like Williams like. He's better than his son. Chortle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I think Coloccini, Taylor, Williamson and Williams is a good quartet of centre-backs to go into the season with, particularly if our cover options are Perch, Tavernier, Good and Streete. Williams is a good footballer as well as a defender; I know the Swansea style gets a bit of a panning but it's great if we sign him and he's already really comfortable with using the ball well and keeping possession.

Tooj Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Would be more than happy with Williams. Surprised that arsehole Rodgers hadn't bid for him actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Wasn't that impressed with him as the season went on though he started ok... Same, didn't see more than 8 swansea games but I definitely didn't see enough to think he'd a good signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Would take but Swansea will ask for big money like they're doing for Allen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Would have him as back up to Coloccini which he wouldn't move for. As a pairing they'd be too small. Be nice to have another centre half that doesn't treat the ball as an unpinned grenade though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 As a replacement for Williamson yes, not as well as, simply not enough of an improvement overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I thought Williams was pretty tall and buff? A bit like Douglas? Aye but he is not foreign, so not really worth the hype. Well that said he is Welsh, that counts right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
