Ashley Williams

[RFUS]

Class player. I'd have him straight in and give him the armband, he's a better leader than anyone at the club and has been in better form than any of our other centre backs.

Can I just say the Oracle that is "The Esk" has been badly shown up here in recent days. Guaranteed big signings not happening, then Borlaise and Kone outa nowhere with no ITK from him........
Esk....whats going on mate???

Er, no.
And he's on his holiday so unlikely to respond even if tempted.
When did he ever guarantee?

It was definitely a 12m deal, no one would turn down 10 to accept 9!

They would if it was 10 spread over 4 years opposed to 9 upfront

 

[Goat]

9,12 or 22m who cares, we have signed a boss player.

 

[blue to the bone]

Great signing. Exactly what is needed.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

traps on him there, boss

Wake me up when he signs

MATTY, MATTY, GERRUP.

Thats making the massive assumption the first offer was 10.

MATTY, MATTY, GERRUP.

Thanx mate lol

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

he even managed to look marginally happier than lennon

 

[cymrublue]

Really happy with this signing,watched a lot of him playing for Wales,the type of defender we need.

 

[milks]

I'm delighted by this. Fixes an immediate issue and adds a level of leadership we are clearly lacking at present.

As @RFUS pointed out, I would immediately install him as captain too.
The likes of Holgate, Galloway, Pennington, Foulds etc. will learn so much from Williams; both about their game and as importantly their attitudes off the field.

Yessssss!!!

Very important signing and i absolutely love how evertonians seem to take this
Also i think if any defender,,,he has what it takes to become treasured player for EFC.

like i said before...he's kind of a player who can dip the scale for us in the derbies

 

[Moomin]

Back in 2013 we got linked with him, a load of people said he was too old and not good enough to get into our first eleven.

I'm looking at you @hktoffee

I honestly wonder if we're talking about the same player here.
