"At 31, Williamson doesn't fit our mould of young and useless ................... as he's too old"



Understandable that the lad would struggle to force his way into Newcastle's impenetrable defence this season

I know a Newcastle fan and he hates Mike Williamson. Says he is a poor player and wasn't good enough when they signed him in the Championship.

Still, I suppose good experienced defenders come at a premium. Unless they play for Wolves and then they are sold for whatever we can get.

With just a 1 month loan deal I can't see him being particularly committed to the cause but that aside at least I've got what I have been asking for; an experienced, unused prem player.

Tam I know a Wolves fan who hates Mick McCarthy and talks utter sh**te about Wolves players. I don't give a feck about his opinion so why should we be concerned about what one Magpies fan says about Williamson. I'll bet there is a Newcastle fan somewhere that will tell you he's brilliant.

6ft4 - the last 6ft4" player I remember us signing from Newcastle was Carl Cort - which means this one is also likely to be out-jumped by a 5ft10" player, and then used at LW

Sorry Gem.

Just thought it was information on a player we are signing from someone who has actually watched him a lot, rather than people speculating on here. I'll be sure to stick to just pure speculation in the future.

I wasn't saying he was definitely going to be rubbish, just that there doesn't seem to a lot to be pleased about with this signing particularly when we practically gave away a defender who was more than likely better.

I fully expect any defensive signing to be better than Stearman when they play, as he was sold for 'footballing reasons.' Otherwise I will see it as a waste of money.

Over to you Mike Williamson.

apparently he was born in Stoke so this gives him the chance to play for the biggest club in Staffordshire

on the comparable players to him on the above site
Jason Shackell - been there done that
Kelvin Wilson - no idea
Micheal Turner - Did we try and sign him?

Seems like a "Mick" signing - should be fantastic

There was me thinking tino, tam and cyp had written something sensible for once when he said he didn't know whether Williamson was any good. But now he has read an article by someone who may well be his idiot equivalent from Geordie land, or maybe from thousands of miles away from there, so now his opinion is formed. You could imagine tino, tam and cyp writing something similar about Dave Edwards who has been one of our best players in recent seasons, while the vast majority of supporters who read it would be cringing and thinking what an embarrassment.

Cinci - fair bit of tongue in your cheek there

Not sure why you still constantly attack me - but Your AGENDA needs to stop

posted on 29/10/15

I didn't want you boys to feel left out after the trouble you have caused this week, and I didn't want you to feel like DJ has his favourites, didn't see why I should suffer it alone when it could be aimed at sooooo many.

what trouble have I/we caused?

posted on 29/10/15

That's Gem, DJ and Cinci who have picked on me now.

I might pick my ball up and go home.

Gem called me a w<anchor> yesterday
DJ to be fair is lovely to me
and Cinci wants to be me so I ignore his digs

posted on 29/10/15

DJ is normally lovely to me. I think his recent attitude with me is because I upset Cinci's chances of winning the predictions league yesterday. We all know they are having a secret affair.

I'm not sure what is going on with Gem recently. He getting a bit of an attitude now he's moved to Mallorca. Must be an ex-pat thing.

Stick to the thread or I'll get the red pen out.

there's a few good players that are all much muchness...Judd Trump/Mark Selby/Ding Junhui/Neil Robertson

I am sure I must have seen this Williamson guy for Newcastle over the years but I cant remember him. Anyway he fits the bill a lot of people have been asking for in that he is experienced and has top level appearances. And difficult to believe he could play so many games for Newcastle and not be any good.

Solves a problem in team selection for the weekend though. My understanding is that they were not planning to play Coady at centre back but were hoping Iorfa would be fit and then Doherty would have played centre back, and has been training in that position this week.
