Definitely. He’s on a par with Spence and whenever I’ve seen him he looks class. Would be great to ruin Fulham too.

no brainer for him if they're loaning him out as well

Garner and Williams would fill our loan slots though. We need to be looking at buying players.

I read Liverpool would be willing to sell for £15m. He's not getting in ahead of TAA and wants first team football.

Would be a bloody fantastic signing. Him and Johnson could tear it up for both club & country.

You are right but realistically Garner & Williams are two players that we aren't gonna be able to buy yet.

I think they would be wise choices for the loan slots.

Ideally we'd want to save one of those loan slots for an attacking player though. I'd prefer a permanent solution at RWB.

Liverpool are supposed to be signing Ramsay from Aberdeen, who's only young but could be cover for TAA and let Williams leave...

Let's hope if we go for him the Cooper & Johnson connection is a major factor. I'm sure he'll relish playing behind the best young Welsh player & for the world's best (Welsh) manager.

Yes I want Spence but I really would like Williams. He feels more, how do you say it… Cooper.

It seems Liverpool are open to selling him, I hope we go all out for him. And he is allegedly cheaper than Spence anyway.

pretty obvious Boro want a bidding war for Spence and the 20m figure going around has already set the bar pretty high.

This after a decent season in the CH but nothing meaningful before other than being a promising player, and a couple half decent FA Cup games.

Neco Williams has a similar profile but has actually played international and has PL appearances, and is also a year younger than Spence.

Will probably be cheaper and thus probably better value for money.

I'm sure its been mentioned on here before too, but if Boro are selling Spence for 20m, who was their 2nd choice RB, How much are they wanting for Izzy Jones who was 1st choice?

I'm not arguing with your overall point, but I'd suggest that Spence has had a better than "decent" season. I don't think it's hyperbole to maintain it was an excellent one.

Will Boro need the cash once they've got £20m for Djed?

Thats more than half a years turnover for them, but maybe they want the extra money for their own promotion push?

Depends whether Boro think they stand a reasonable chance at promotion, if Jones is a vital part of their team his presence is worth more than £15m when you're competing for ~£180m

Plus if they're getting £20m for Spence they have even less incentive to sell another key player

Williams is a better player than Jones and it isn’t particularly close either.

With the news coming out that Liverpool are chasing the young full back from Aberdeen, if Williams is available, that would be a hell of a signing. Him, Maitland-Niles, Rodon and Gibbs-White would be bloody exciting.

I've always liked the look of Neco Williams. Class young player. If Spence goes to Spurs, which looks likely to happen by the sounds of things, I hope we sign him.

Agreed - Williams is significantly better than Jones, and comfortably the most balanced RB we could get, including Djed. Spence just offers those magical runs, that we won’t get from Neco.

That sounds so exciting, so much youth and speed. Do we think this keeps us up?

No chance of Gibbs-White, need better starting-11 than Rodon and Lowe.
