I heard of this before the game, so paid closer attention to him.
Exciting prospect and would be in the end of season team of the year at our level for sure.
I just can’t see it happening, he is too far up the pecking order for Liverpool as opposed to the 2 we had last season off them, which clearly have no future with them
I'd love to see him at City but not at the expense of one of our own promising youngsters in Perry Ng. Whilst we need back up on that right hand side I think we should be using Ng as 1st choice so he can continue the fantastic development he showed last year in stepping up a league.
Only at Cardiff City can a 25 year old with 214 games behind them be considered a "promising youngster". However, I agree that we don't need a RB when we've got our own developing talent in that position who want more game time, especially when we have other positions which need to be filled and a limited budget.Quote:

Unless they're going to be purchasing another full back, Neco is the 1st choice sub surely?
Can't see this at all
I think he'd go on loan to another Premiership team if he went anywhere, maybe one of the promoted ones
I wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool are looking to loan him out next season because being on the bench virtually every week means he’s not playing much senior football. Say Liverpool decided to loan Williams out, but not to a Premier League side, then we’d probably have as good a chance of any Championship side of getting him given the whole Cardiff City Stadium/Wales experience thing - unless Messts Wilson and Ojo got in his ear about our method of playing of course.
We dont need a right back.
Non story.
Williams could make a very goodChampionship left back.Quote:

If Liverpool contacted us tomorrow to say we could have Neco Williams on loan, do you think we wouldn't use him on the left given that we selected Ng and Bacuna there at times last season - would you select Joe Ralls at left wing back in front of Williams if he came here?Quote:

I notice that you didn't answer the question. Can you name any very good Championship left-backs who are right-footed?Quote:

Full-back/wing-back seems to be a position where it's more important to pick left-footed/right-footed players in their natural positions.
By the way, Neco Williams was replaced at half-time in the only game that he has started at left-back for Liverpool.
I suppose it’s all a bit pointless arguing about whether Neco Williams could play left back for us or not when the chances of him being here are pretty slim.Quote:

I didn’t answer for two reasons, first I don’t know the answer and second, it struck me as a completely pointless question which took me back about fifty five years when I was told I was being left out of my primary school team solely because the person replacing me, who my teacher told me was not as good as me, was left footed.Quote:

My point is - why stump up the cash to loan Neco Williams, when we already have a perfectly good right back? The wages money would be better spent elsewhere - like midfield, for example.
Williams can also play at left wing back, and looks pretty good there too, and we need oneQuote:

Pack, Ralls, Bacuna, Vaulks... Two, at least, need to move on, and two quality players brought in.
Faffin around with the right back position while Rome burns, isn't gonna cut the mustard.
Ps. Can highly recommend Moldovan red wine.
Thank you.
I’d love us to sign a couple of midfielders to give us a better balance there, but, apart from the link with that Crewe player, there’s been nothing to suggest it’s going to happen.
I would prefer to see Neco in midfield than the current line upQuote:
