I would say Ashley Williams is rated because he has had a very good season, it's got nothing to do with their style of play, he's not even a ball playing CB, a more "traditional british scrapper". He's a very consistent performer IMHO.

Yeah I like Chico too, but I wouldn't say he would be a better fit for us. He's a better ball player but we don't need a ball player.

It's all our team contributing to the errors though. The non-Vermaelen CBs have both had good seasons on the whole.

Williams isn't a bad player, but he's not a better defender than Koscielny and BFG. And despite Vermaelen being awful recently, he has shown he can be a good player in the past. If we're buying someone like Williams as third/fourth choice, it's not too bad. But he wouldn't improve our defence.

We're not buying him anyway. Just like we're not buying Kalou, Biglia, N'Zonzi, Scott Dann or Trabelsi.

Sadly, Liverpool have though.

Or not so sadly.

Williams has to better than Squirtle in recent times and the Stoke chairman's son though? £16m bid?

Well I think both are off in the summer anyway, so with Carragher retiring it'd leave a big gap to be filled.

I think he'd be a decent player so long as you didn't over pay. Something you probably wouldn't do, but we might. And frankly I could see it being about that price.

There have been many other (and younger) names linked though, so there's always hope. Hope to be dashed...

Nice additions for the repost as well.

I deleted while editing.

Fucking had to type it out again from memory. Were there some additions?

:lol: rooney

do some of these journo's have common sense?

although i think he'd do well here under a manager who'll support him and base the team around him. his talent is unquestionable, just needs to be at a club he's loved at. i dont think thats the case at united anymore.

Not sure whether that was a dig at me, even if it wasn't i'm getting pretty giddy looking up at you on that Horse.

mmm sweet lemonade

We'd never pay Rooneys wages. Unless he was going to take a massive pay cut (:lol:) this just isn't a deal which would ever happen

If we get rid of the Squilachis/Denilsons/Bendnters and the Chamakhs at the club, that alone can free up alot to get him in, but yeah, dont see it if he doesnt slash his demands by atleast 100k

Rooney. . .have to say it just isnt going to happen but I would take him if it looed possible. . .soe are saying that he will be finished come 30 (which maybe right) but I thought that we are of the consensus that we need an,immediate fix which Rooney could offer. , .surely we havent got time for aother project like Gerv or Big Sexy? Rooney would create a bloody buzz around the place and would be out to prove a point from the off.

Its the wages, after haggling with Theo over 10,000 pounds are,we about to pay someone doule our current highest earner? Argument is that he is twice the player. . .still!
