Thoughts on Neco Williams…

[Southcoastffc]

On the positive side, getting Neco Williams in for Odoi seems like a wise move. Denis, though we all love him and he's done well this season, was always likely to move on next season and wasn't getting any younger. We now have Neco who is only 20 and British - hopefully we can sign permanently if he impresses.

While a sensible move on paper, every time I've seen Neco play for Liverpool I think he's been awful - terrible positioning, caught of position, bad 1-on-1 defending. Clearly he's done ok for Wales, but I'm not convinced at all by his ability. I think the fact he's at Liverpool has given him more credibility than he deserves.

Ultimately Tete is our number #1 RB. He's Prem quality, but his constant injuries are becoming a problem meaning Williams will probably get some games in the rest of the season. Hopefully Neco can prove he's a good player and work towards a permeant move to Fulham as cheap competition at RB for Tete. If he turns out to be rubbish then back off to Liverpool he goes. A solid transfer for all involved without really adding much excitement to the squad.

If he were awful Liverpool would be looking to sell him , not loan him out.

Sounds like your modern day  full back quick great going forward can't defend.

I hope we give this guy time to prove himself, not played yet and already questions, welcome to FFC!

Liverpool have offloaded a few not so great players on us in recent history.  Kaka, Ojo and Lazar Marković (who he?).  Not sure Nico will rise above them.  Is he their back up RB or the back up of the back up?

My sources west of Offa's Dyke rate him highly and thinks he should link well with fellow countryman Harry Wilson. 

Taken with a slight pinch of salt.  The Welsh are commendably loyal to their own.

We will soon see about Neco Williams.  We've gone from four fit right backs to one newbie in a flash.

Nico might not but hopefully Neco will.

I am pretty sure that a deal has already been agreed between fab,us and Liverpool for his move in the summer. I wonder if the fact the paperwork never went through was so we could keep fab on his current wage for the rest of the season rather than the much higher wage we would have had to pay.
Our new rb loaned feels like a look and see situation to me in so much as if he impresses Marco a deal is there to be made.

I may have forgotten about someone, but could I be right in thinking Neco Williams is the first Wales international to play for us since Simon Davies? The only other candidate I can think of is George Williams, who may have got a cap or two while with us.

George Williams got all his caps while at Fulham (or loaned out from us). Jazz Richards was also an international IIRC, and of course we have Wilson now.
