Ashley Williams

[Efcjake]

Imagine still caring about sell on value.

Sign all the over 30s!

It isn't really about any sell on value so much as it being a shorter matter of time before he can't perform at this level any longer.

Not everyone is going to be Distin.

 

[VaguelyBrown]

I rate him, I'd be happy for him to come in. Even if all he's got in the tank is a couple of seasons, I think he'll more than do a job while he's here

 

[bizzaro]

But it isnt for a proven PL player, captain of club and country.

hmmm....

I'm just not feeling it Roydo

This rumour has been rubbished by the player himself.

Why is the thread still open?

Cos it hasnt been rubbished by the player himself.

We can't just go and buy the best in the world. We need to improve on our current crop of players. People like Williams certainly improve this side. Don't worry about sell on value. In a couple of years we COULD be in a position to buy a top player to upgrade on Williams. Thats if this Moshiri project goes the right way!

Some whopper on Twitter quoted him as saying it was all rubbish.

That will do for me.

Not saying he is the ultimate footballer or anything, but when we are pretty strapped at the back, assuming Stones goes, a solid, dependable, no nonsense PL seasoned CH is not the worst idea in the world.

Priority #1. Have a reliable defence.

Priority #2. Keep Rom

Priority #3. Dont fret about resale values.

£10 million though.

Just makes me sigh.

Let me show you how easy that is.

He would make our team better. I have no doubts about that. 10 mil is still kind of a steep price for a 32 year old defender, so I am kind of skeptical as well. If we are still able to get our other targets, I would not be opposed to this move. If it affects other transfers, I say pass.

Its the way of the world now. And makes me sigh as well.

But if a Koeman coached defence lets in 15 to 20 goal less than a Martinez one did, reckon it would be cash well spent.

 

[Connor]

Talks expected to resume this week.

Williams would like the move, Swansea's new owners less so.

Not just me then huh?

Its causing me physical pain here mate. I just HATE paying over the odds. For anything.

I like to steal players from under the nose of other teams. I hate feeling ripped off

Naisse proper does my head in. For this reason.

OMG Messi is joining Sheffield Wednesday!!

WTF.

Ashley Williams is worth as much for his toughness, durability, and leadership as he is anything else. And the thing that very few are saying is what needs to be said--Jagielka leaves a LOT to be desired in terms of leadership on the field. I love Jags and he's put in some great performances over the years, but he's injury-prone and less and less of factor when in the lineup than he once was. If these weren't concerns with Jags, I'm not sure RK would be looking at the likes of Williams or Fonte. This is an admission that this team lacks real leadership on the pitch.
