I love williams, if it wasn't for his injuries i have no doubt he would be top Championship player, possible Premier league a while ago. Has that bit of class, works hard, always good to win cheap fans. I think he picks up good positions and gets heavily involved, Otzumer might be good enough for League one but is a downgrade imo, having both would be great if money was there or other areas not needed difficult to say on that front.
I dont really see him scoring much but still think he creates chances and always gets in the right areas. no doubt if injuries were not an issue would be first on the team sheet (Cullen aside)
I could only see clubs like Wycombe or Luton going in for Williams in The Championship. Embarrassing if either of them are picking off our carcass but at the end of the day Williams didn't score a single goal and with money tighter than ever I wouldn't rule out Williams staying on.
To be fair he's always been a dribbler and assister more than goal scorer. He will not score many goals at any level, he isn't clinical and doesn't often hit the ball hard.
he also draws more fouls than any Charlton player I can remember in recent history.
I think we always look a better team with Williams in the side. I'm pretty sure he'd get into any team in League One, and I doubt we'll have many players you could say that about next season.
He's also played a senior league game, which may well not be the case for a good chunk of our squad in the coming season. We need to hang onto all the senior pros we can at the moment.

Trying to separate out the nonsense of our transfer embargo at the moment, the key thing is the budget we have for next season, and whether he's worth the wages.
Obviously he's better than playing our kids, but that's not an especially high bar.
Fairly certain I read/heard somewhere that Millwall are interested in him, think it was in the Evening Standard. No idea if there's any legs to that though.

Only place I've seen that interest was some virgin with their own "transfer hub" twitter account
They claimed that Millwall were going to put in a £1m bid
Seeing that there is no confirmation of his extension being taken up by either Charlton or Williams, then at present how can there be a transfer fee?

That might've been it, can't for the life of me find where I saw it again.
If that's the same twitter account that predicted we were being taken over by some Chinese consortium and bringing in Howe as manager, they also expressed their desire for us to go bust, which was nice of them.
Just WTF is going on at our club ... I’m lost for words with this re-signing. Pleased, but lost for words. Just hope our ownership is sorted otherwise he’ll be play in an empty stadium
Surprised by the news, hopefully next season he actually gets some goals and assists to his name rather than being the guy fouled for the set pieces we score from or being the guy that passed to the assister
Slightly surprised but at the same time not overly surprised!!
Said the other day his injuries get managed well here, we're also quite close for home and feels loved here
Whats not to like for Jonny
I do wonder if we'll try to sell him though - Its Williams that has taken up the option as we gave him this choice and our new owners may well not like the fact as may have preferred to have him off our wage bill
Wow, really did not expect that at all. Fantastic to hear, and is seriously confusing because it seems we're making a go of building a team for next year, whilst being a total shambles off field.

Would have expected Williams and Bowyer to have had a conversation and don't think Williams would have extended in League One if he thought Bowyer was off

Dont think Bowyer was too impressed with it
