In terms of style of play it's possible we have the next best in Oztumer. In any case we're very fortunate to have both.MuttleyCAFC said:I am seriously trying to think of a better midfielder in the division and not getting too far.0 -
In terms of the type of Midfielder he is I'd agree...MuttleyCAFC said:I am seriously trying to think of a better midfielder in the division and not getting too far.
But you do have the likes of Tom Cairney and Harry Arter at Fulham who may give him a run for his money in October0 -
Adding more goals would be beneficial but even without them it's hardly a massive loss when the likes of Oztumer and Gallagher will probably be chipping in goals from midfield, possibly Aneke too. He just needs to keep doing what he does.1

Love the bloke, got the potential to be my favourite players for years. Done my nut in when some weren't sure about him last season.

Very true. But imagine his smile if he was to score in front of The Covered End...thenewbie said:Adding more goals would be beneficial but even without them it's hardly a massive loss when the likes of Oztumer and Gallagher will probably be chipping in goals from midfield, possibly Aneke too.

Think he's improved on last year, bit like Pratley where he's better suited to the technicality of the ChampionshipAFKABartram said:Love the bloke, got the potential to be my favourite players for years. Done my nut in when some weren't sure about him last season.
Problem for me was he didnt create enough assists, would do plenty of driving runs but wasnt enough of an end product for me
Williams himself has said that Bowyer over the summer has added that to his game which has definitely made him a better player9 -
Think it says all you need to about Jonny that he is adored by both Charlton and Palace. Not many achieve that and is testament to what an excellent person and player he is.13

I have to admit I wasn't sure last year, from what I saw there was a lot of pace and trickery with not enough end result, I've been shoveling that humble pie down since Wembley and long may it continue!AFKABartram said:Love the bloke, got the potential to be my favourite players for years.

Apparently made a difference for Wales at the weekend when he came on and tonight (albeit a friendly) has had a very good first half.0

I agree, the fact he played in playoff finals has added to that.RC_CAFC said:Think it says all you need to about Jonny that he is adored by both Charlton and Palace. Not many achieve that and is testament to what an excellent person and player he is.
Having said that both Bright and Salako won promotion with us but it didn't feel the same although lets remember Mark played in the first Sunderland playoff final and laid on the first goal for Mendonca. Salako even scored for us against Palace.0 -
Pardew is obviously far more Palace, but was reasonably popular as a player with us and when he first took over as manager...Richard J said:

Man of the match
Jonny Williams - Making his first Wales start since Euro 2016, the attacking midfielder showed glimpses of his undoubted quality in a hard-working display.

There were flashes last season for sure, but he didn't deliver a huge deal and it could have gone either way. Looks much fitter this season, work rate is up, looks a half yard quicker and his mind is sharper. The confidence is there now and his vision of passing is really coming to the fore, in addition to the dribbling and running at opponents, meaning more end product and less running down dead ends. He's been absolutely mustard, and while the potential was there last year, he's been better this season than he was last, despite stepping up a division. Credit to his parents too, deserves all the adulation he's getting.AFKABartram said:Love the bloke, got the potential to be my favourite players for years.

Still shocked that some didn't want to resign him, absolute joy to watchAFKABartram said:Love the bloke, got the potential to be my favourite players for years. Done my nut in when some weren't sure about him last season.8 -
One of my overriding memories of this season so far is having been in crossbars for about an hour after the Nottingham forest game and seeing Jonny out doing sprints on the pitch.0

Potentially another example where only a One Year contract goes tits up.1

I wanted to resign him but he was in and out last year, relative to his ability. This season he has been outstanding and is undeniably now my favourite playerIR94 said:

Got to offer him 3 year deal minimum, he was the best Charlton player I'd seen for years in the Wales performance last night.
Made me feel proud again to watch a Charlton International.7 -
My favourite player since Johnnie Jackson . Has improved since last year . Brilliant attitude and plays with a smile on his face .Hope we can tie him down for another few years .4

Fantastic player that is complimented by being a fantastic person too.
We all have our favourite players, but for me Jonny is up there with my favourite players. He is so intelligent, so talented and skilful. If he added or could add goals to his game, I have no doubt he would be playing regularly in the Premier League. In terms of influence on the team and quality, I would have him along the same category as Pablo Hernandez at Leeds. If Williams was to add goals and say get 6/7 this season, huge for someone who has only scored 1 in 5 seasons, albeit not many games, I think he would easily be classed as one of the best players in this league.
We are lucky to have him and long may his form, health, performances, and consistency continue.8 -
He is a wonderful player and I hope he stays fit as he is still young enough to have a huge future in the game. There is definitely a second year option but it was not stated who’s favour it was in - ie does he have to agree to it?
My concern would be that if he stays fit and hits his full potential, he may well go back to Palace if they stay up and we don’t go up - he seems to like living local and they will be able to offer significantly higher wages than us0 -
To me, he’s a season away from being able to play regularly in the PL. He’s definitely talented enough but winning and holding a regular place is another matter, unless the team he is playing for is Charlton and he doesn’t have the battle of winning over the manager, coaching staff and the fans.Sage said:Fantastic player that is complimented by being a fantastic person too.

Again it all comes down to the numbers. He took a big pay cut to sign up for this season, and would be unlikely to sign a long term deal unless it was at a much higher level, which won't happen without a takeover.Charltonparklane said:Got to offer him 3 year deal minimum, he was the best Charlton player I'd seen for years in the Wales performance last night.

Just saw the bows talksport interview, love what he said about Jonny “That boy is the nicest person I’ve ever met in football. I see him every day and he just makes me smile"
What a pleasure it is to have this lad in our team, a breathe of fresh air on and off the field14 -
