Incoming? Ashley Williams

[Roygbiv]

Hope not, hope not

If we’re recruiting a central defender released by Everton; i think we all know there’s a much more likely alternative.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Jesus, he’s been trash for years now.

Hope not

Lazy journo imo, heard an aging CH was released by Everton and assumed wrong, it’s the other aging Everton CH yer nob.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Lazy journalism

He can only really play central in our system, no flexibility, we already have Egan and Stearman whom Williams is no better than.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

He’s had a poor time of it at Everton, but by all accounts has been better at Stoke and he continues to be reliable when he’s played for Wales, though Giggs has opted to give younger alternatives a go of late (he’s been gradually eased out, a bit like Gunter). That said we may start him later on at Croatia due to injuries.

I wouldn’t let his time at Everton completely cloud his overall ability. I’d see him as backup for Egan – his best football for Wales was probably for the Euros campaign when he was in the middle of a 3 with Chester & Davies. But unless Stearman is wanting to move for regular football I wouldn’t bother bringing him in.

Equally as pointless as signing Jags would be.
Though interestingly everyone is against this lad whereas some would take Jags

Jagielka certainly has some versatility. Williams could effectively only do one position adequately for us, whereas I think Jags could cover the middle and right CB slots.

 

[Blade58]

Neither for me

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Davalon]

Dear God no.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Steer well clear.

 

[davidblade]

Surely the wrong Sheffield club

 

[Speedracer]

Oh God no, I have not played for 10 years & have a dodgy hip but I would back myself against him any day!
Car crash of a centre half.

Jesus fucking Christ. No. No no no.

We still need PL experience though- the defence is going from facing £10m strikers to £50m + , so defenders that have the intelligence to know how to deal with such attacks and to fit into our tactics are a priority. Irelands Duffy showed why he is ahead of Egan last night in Irelands team, and he just avoided relegation .

 

[Chazza1889]

They fill the sports section in newspapers with this crap every year, the guys nowhere near the standard, he wouldn't get in our team!

 

[Bladeinleeds]

This is Probably agent driven to be fair

 

[KoppedOff]

Rather have kept Cranie.

What a load of crap.

 

[Nick Jansky]

What a load of crap.

Why?

 

[blades78]

One of most overrated centre backs in recent years. Not worth 5 grand a week never mind the 30 grand a week he 'll probably be asking.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Rather have Charlie !

Richard Keogh showed last night why John Egan should be in the ROI team. Ask their fans they think the same.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Stoke fans said he was shit so why would we want him in premier league

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Why?

Why, because despite having experience at the top level his form has fallen off a cliff. His 'experience' of dealing with 50m players means nothing because he can't deal with them himself, so how is he supposed to pass any knowledge down.

He is the kind of player that fits a club, was fine for Swansea,awful everywhere else.

I'd rather bring Shaun Murphy back at his current age.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

No chance. He’s the opposite of a Wilder signing and was dreadful for Stoke last season. Spent force.

 

[Russ]

Rather have kept Cranie.

Rather have Robin Williams
