I'd rather him than Ferdinand/Lescott/Dawson, but would like him to be the oldest player we sign.
Lots of experience now in the prem, is their Captain currently so should be a strong figure at the back and even has a little European experience to add to the mix. [Post edited 1 Jun 2014 10:15]

I will believe it when it passes the "is it published on the Barnsley site" test |  | | |

Thanks for the news. Looking forward to this and think it is a good deal. He is a leader and. Good player. Hopefully that also means we want a defensive minded outfit.
Now that Remy is gone, we can look to see how Adel, Mbia and Cesar get sorted. S |  | | |

Decent player.
I'm cool with this if Barnsley announce it. |  |

Anyone know what his injury history is like. is he the sort of person guy who will play week in week out, because im sure he has had a few spells out on the treatment table.
Happy with this if it goes through. 29 for a CB is not old and hopefully we could get 3 solid years from him. You also assume that he can use his feet being from Swansea, which is something our current CBs lack. |  |

So here's a player we have been linked with strongly in the past, yet has been a Swansea stalwart for a considerable period of time and is very highly rated. Suuposedly big clubs have also been keen which makes me think that either a) we've offered him a silly contract and no lessons have been learned or b) we're being used by his agent as bait for the bigger clubs to come bite. I suspect the latter and am not expecting to see him in hoops any time soon. |  |

Think I'll run this rumour past Blibby the Octopus to see what he says.
Told Me Fat Frank last time.
Could be calamares all round soon.

According to soccerbase, he played 47 games this season including internationals. [Post edited 1 Jun 2014 10:38]

You're probably right!  | | | |
| Ashley Williams close to being done deal apparently on 10:42 - Jun 1 with 4976 views | ElHoop |
He's got one year left at Swansea so presumably he hasn't agreed or been offered terms. He's a proper player so yes please, if he'll come to us for the right money then he would be a top top signing who would massively enhance our chances of staying up. |  | | |
| Ashley Williams close to being done deal apparently on 10:43 - Jun 1 with 4969 views | kensalriser |
Won't be a regular starter at a bigger club, IMO, so if he wants to play QPR are a good choice. Still has another year at Swansea, so he would be coming for the money, though. |  |

I think your right here. If it goes through than it is a fantastic signing. Good defender, right side of 30. Could just fancy a change from Wales! I mean Wales. Seriously though I see no logical reason why he would want to move to us. Maybe this is Harry's famous pulling power at work, but a large contract or bait would make more sense. |  | | |

Very good defender not quite sure why he would leave Swansea for us.If he is the sort of signing we are looking for i wouldnt be disappointed |  | | |

To be fair the bloke has been in Swansea since 2008, he probably wants a chance to play under a manager like Redknapp, live in London and have a new challenge. He is has only got another 4/5 years left, so may not get another opportunity. Cant blame him really.
I really doubt there needed to be much persuasion at all and i dont expect him to be on a massive wage. From the outsider this seems like a very shrewd deal, but still a long way to go yet before its done i expect. | |

Surprised Swansea are letting him go and aren't trying to extend his contract.
If he's the same player next season as he has been these last few season it's a good signing and he shouldn't be on silly wages and with only one year left on his contract we shouldn't be paying over the odds.
I'd still rather Micah Richards or someone who will have resale value in 2-3 years, but this is better than Lescott, Dawson, etc. |  | | |

Yeah - this would be a great signing. Perhaps we could get Richards too?
Saying that I did read somewhere that City may make him see out his contract so they can meet their home grown player quota. |  | | |

Amazing how a rule to encourage teams having home grown players in their squads will effectively stop a home grown player from starting regularly in the Prem! | | | |

Remember reading somewhere that NW wanted him in our first season back in the Prem, but the conditions of that summer meant we missed out and had to settle for Danny Gabbidon. Anyway, I rate him quite highly and he seems to possess the sort of attitude that we need to actively seek if we want to avoid making the same mistakes as last time. Lescott probably a better player but Williams on half the wages would be quite frankly a coup (of sorts) |  | | |

Says on the bbc sports website that he is out of the Wales game because he is injured 
Or is he in Harlington? |  | | |
| Ashley Williams close to being done deal apparently on 23:20 - Jun 1 with 2954 views | PunteR |
I'll be well happy with this signing. If he helps us stay up over the next 3-4 years that's gotta be worth more then a resale value.
If it happens lets hope he gel's with QPR and hits the ground running. |  |
