Titus Bramble
Best centre half to grace the Premier League
we can fume about that if it happens, but in isolation this would be a good signing

Who was the last great centre half (your words) that just fell off a cliff at 32? And what reason do you have that has made you think Williams will go the same way.

Blimey, that is some comparison that. Distin, the Dorian Gray of football.
He didn't get older, he just got quicker.
Can,t go on forever need young good prospects not has been,s
Tbh when we did I said "Who?!"
Yes Williams is commanding in the air, unlike Distan a hell of a lot slower on the turn on the ground he will also command high wages too a bit of a gamble IMO!

Your missing the point here - if Williams comes and organises a back 4 that concedes for arguments sake 10 less goals but earns an extra 3/4 places higher in the premier league, he has effectively paid for himself. As Liverpool have seen with carragher if you lose the organiser in a back 4 you are far more likely to concede, they would have won that league if carragher was still involved. For us higher places and potential Europa then attracts better players and you start a momentum - it will take at least a couple of years before we are perhaps ready to compete for top 4 and top drawer players.
No I never !
To be honest I was completely against it...as I was with Barry.
That said I thought Eto'o was an ace signing.
Just shows I know F all I suppose.
I'd like to point out that while I'm not the biggest fan of this potential signing, Wes Morgan just won the title and was one of the best CB's in the league, just because he was a no-nonsense type.
Why not, for next-to-nothing money?

he isn't a has been Joey? He's in his prime as a centre back.
Our squad is full of 'potential'. Ideally we need players in the 25-29 bracket who have the experience and quality.
Obviously, Williams is a tad older, but with a defender of his ilk that's not an issue.
Again, I'll state that I'm not convinced this signing will happen, or there's anything more than interest, but I do definitely think it's the type of player that would improve us and that RK will want.
I liked Barry before, so quite liked the idea. He turned out to be better than expected as well, which was pleasing.
I still can't belive we signed Eto'o.

If we get £50m for Stones and spend £40m on Koulibaly and £10m on Williams then our defence improves immeasurably.

If he does come here I would view him as being a very solid and dependable player to have straight in the 1st team whilst Galloway, Holgate, Foulds, Feeney etc get the opportunity to develop. No point in buying all these highly rated youngsters to just discard them all. Surely one will have every chance of being successful here.
Hopefully Stones would stay too and get to work alongside savvy pros. Different transfer strategy perhaps.

Can't build a whole team of prospects with potential. You'll be watching Everton in the championship.
Spurs came close last year but as the season came to the final few weeks all the young inexpeierence started to show. Discipline issues, bad decisions, etc. Need some old heads in the team who have been there and done that to help the younger ones.
Would be a good signing to help a bad defense.
