Like others, shocked by this. But also over the moon. Knew it was a no brainier where JFC was concerned but Williams can easily pick up an equivalent/better contract at a more stable club. That I’m convinced.
With no prospect of matchday income, clubs will cutting playing budgets and that means players like Williams are a real risk. He might have had offers from elsewhere but I'd be surprised if they were that great.
Personally, I'd play him on the left of a 4 man midfield in a 4-4-2. Two strikers for him to play off and a left back pushed up in support.
This, obviously, doesn't tell the whole story though. Williams forces a defence to change its focus; he will be an integral part of our footballing philosophy; and he is often involved in attacks a pass or two before the goal. And he draws fouls like no other footballer I've seen (maybe can go down a bit easy but he has a knack for playing the ref, and when we're on a restricted budget like we are, that sort of behaviour might not be ideal but it's no bad thing).
This is a delightful signing, though somewhat surprising. But I guess he's probably thought it's better to have a job, even on his current wage, than risk no job at all given the current uncertainty in the world.
I know this is going to sound weird... But I follow joniesta on Instagram and have noticed he has a new partner who he seems to be getting along well with. Maybe this had a big part to play? If so... Thank you to that Girl.
Very happy with this Jonny is a very very very good league 1 player.
She's from Kent, according to her Instagram bio. Maybe she didn't fancy living north of the river
This is absolutely fantastic news. Jonny is going to be a huge player for us next season, so glad to have him for another year at least.
Not claiming to be in the know about this at all. However, I knew that something was going on today as I was again at The Valley, and today there were a lot more flashy cars around. As I was leaving, Bow got out of his car. I had no idea it would be for this, in fact I was a bit worried. But this is brilliant news and a great way to end the day.

Think this is a very good point and often underestimated. We know Jonny is very happy where he lives, we know he appreciates his happiness far more than the money he could get elsewhere, and now by the looks of it, is with a new partner, is another factor in his happiness. It’s a no brainier. All he has ever wanted is to enjoy his football, be happy and appreciated. He does that at Charlton and seems to be getting that in his personal life too. Great to see because he deserves it. As Bow says, everyone loves Jonny, it’s impossible not to.

I think this is for a mixture of reasons, however I think that there is something genuine in what Jonny says.
Is unexpected good news and as I’m off to Wales 🏴 for my hols on Friday I will personally thank the Welsh and the good people of Pembury (on the way back).
Great news...love Jonny,just gives us the extra little something for the opposition to think about...lovely bloke & great character too...,yes we do love u mate,thank you,but do please chuck in a few goals next term for us...there’s a good boy...!!!

Does she pass the CL height test?
I'm afraid Jonny doesn't. Unless he's walking tall right now?
Might not score goals or be the best most consistant player in the world but we need to remember that next year at this rate is going to be another battle and struggle so to have someone as genuine and gd a lad in the team/squad to boost morale and keep the team happy is a win win in my books as just to get some stability and drop no further down the leagues will be an achievement at the minute
Really pleased for the squad. To have someone with his quality can only be a good thing. For me this says that Lee is staying too. He's building a team to go for promotion. It'll be a shit budget again, but if the League One clubs all sign up to the £2.5m cap, there will be a more level playing field.
Surprised to wake up to this news this morning. I had wondered if he'd had a bit of a fallout with Bowyer after comments post-lockdown. It seems all is fine and dandy after all!

Baggsie, injured by end of September.
Massive boost this.
Raises a few other questions as well.
Interesting times.

That was Nicky Ajose before he signed for us...
He's quality of course people are excited.
Started 15 games for us last season and we got 24 points out of those games.
In the 31 games he didn't start we also got 24 points.
Goalscoring isn't part of what he does

1.6 PPG (enough to finish 5th) in comparison to 0.77 PPG (bottom by a long way)
Cmon U Addicks...!!

We all love you Johnny. Just score a few please!
