Lee Williamson from Watford

[knowles]

I've heard a wee whisper that we are interested in Watford's Lee Williamson. Can't say I know that much of him apart from he was part of a double signing by Boothroyd from Rotherham (along with Will Hoskins).

He is a central midfielder.

[Jug Bank Stokie]

He always scores against Swansea. Fact.

[salopstick]

where is tommy smith?

[ashbournepotter]

champ player. we could do with a few more of those

[knowles]

That's what I thought. He seems to fall into the same category as Surman, Lallana, Ledley, Smith...

[markscfc72]

and adison

[ashbournepotter]

and tonge, soares....

[FullerMagic]

How solid is your rumour, knowlesy?

He doesn't seem to be the kind to improve a Prem side?

It's a trustworthy source but there are so many rumours going round you don't know where they will take you!!

Mark- I've been told that Miles Addison is "nailed on".

[ashbournepotter]

if true, looks like we're going all out for building a hard to beat championship side.

happy days.

[monsoonmoon]

Potentially a pal of Lawrence? Given they spent the same years at Mansfield?

[Titan Uranus]

Jeez.... can't take much more of this excitement

[th05]

Hmmm, decent player, not what we need though.

[boothenendboy]

bloody hell knowles, you'll be listening to poo next ;D

[Danstoke82]

noo please noooooo

An ok Championship player, not pulling up any trees at Watford, though and yet another central midfielder, behind Amdy, Salif, Oli and Glenn in the pecking order.

Its hard to see how Williamson would improve us in any way, shape or form.

Totally agree Dan. The worrying thing is that it seems a very obscure name to pluck out of the sky.

Agreed, and if he is signed then Its surely obvious that it would become another Tonge/Soares situation.

Please let it be fake. No disrespect to Williamson and all, but he is not what we need right now. Someone like Kightly or Ledley yes, Williamson no.

[potterspride88]

he is black tho!

[knowles]

He's been called up into the Jamaican squad (even though he was born in Derby) so perhaps he's Ric's mate?

[Fred Ferret]

If you want to make an impact in the premiership "go out and buy half-a-dozen championship players" - Job done!

..... and so the wheel goes full-circle again ....

... then ....


falls off!

Happy Days.

[knowles]

Sorry to bring doom and gloom!! Apparantly Williamson is option B (or maybe C?) for Joe Ledley. I'm not saying the Ledley deal is dead, just that we are looking at other players.

It also hints that Ledley is being signed for the centre (which would make sense with Etherington on his way).

[Fred Ferret]

Sorry - and it seems the mists of doom and gloom might just be being burnt off then.

Having said that, just seen the MON comment.

Cheers

[exiledstokie]

if Ledley does sign, and the intenion is to play him in the center, then what does that mean for he line up in midfield? Lawrence, Ledley, Diao/Amdy, Etherington? Or would Delap be switched to the middle?

either way you look at it, these are interesting times to be a stokie!!

[Danstoke82]

Stick Delap at right back, switch Griff to left back (his preferred position), then move Higgy alongside big Abdy. I would love to have Shawcross in there, but it's between him and Higgy and obviously Higgy has more experience.

The have Lawrence on the right flank with Ledley and Diao in the centre and Etherington on the left.

Up front wise is a toughie if we sign Camara, Harewood and Dindane. As Fuller has to slot in there somewhere and we cannot forget about Big Mama.

[knowles]

Looks like Fulham are interested in him now.

Not sure if we are still monitoring him or not (I will try and find out)

Hardly surprising tho is it? Look at the calendar, time is running out, cue the 11-59 pm 2 panic buys we always get with Pulis... Then the weeks of these arent that bad, then they quietely exit the clubduring the summer!! Cant Wait

[Beardy200]

Hey Knowlesey,

I've missed this matey. Did you mean you've heard we're 'nailed on' to get Miles Addisson?

Plus if you've heard Williamson is down the list after Ledley. Did the person you spoke to even mention Koumas as a potential signing fella?

Tell me about it! Last time I trust anything I'm ever bloody told

Nothing has been mentioned to me about Koumas and as for Ledley, I can't see that happening at all. If we were ever going to get him it would have been last summer.

[bayernoatcake]

I was told we'd sign Addison too before the transfer window.
