Being linked with Williamson, Newcastle defender and a giant by all accounts.

6.5" but 31 yr old don't know much about him
26 Jul 2015 14:59:51
Please god no. ask any of the Geordies they'd gladly drive him here
27 Jul 2015 03:15:02
He probably won't be exposed at this level and could come in handy at corners defensively as well as in their penalty area. I say get him provided he is free and not big wages.
27 Jul 2015 07:50:28
No he won't be free and he reminds me of a newcastle player we bought O'Brien enough said
27 Jul 2015 14:09:49
A number of my friends are Sunderland fans and they are gutted he is leaving Newcastle so, yeah, I wouldn't touch him at that point.
PS didn't we get O'Brien from Bolton?

Bardsey, his deal ends next June so I doubt he will command a fee greater than quarter mill. It'll be non disclosed like it usually is. If it's over quarter mill I say walk away. If it's under and wages reasonable I say get him because at this level he will be alright and useful at set plays.

George I've seen a good few sources mentioning that it would be a seven figure deal for him (one even saying £2.5m but that seems a little far fetched). He wants to leave and with only 1 season on his contract it seems high but if they don't want him to go they could be trying to scare teams off. Also though he is a big guy i'm pretty sure he has only managed 1 goal for Newcastle from a set piece so maybe not too great in the opposition area.

2.5m? He ain't worth that. Avoid. We need to concentrate on pacey touchline huggers.

No thanks, no way and never in that order lol. There is certainly better out there than him.
