I think the main issue is that our squad currently is tiny. We need bodies and not all of them are going to be blow-away signings. I'd rather have someone like Williams that we know can produce a bit of quality than trying to play some 16 year old that's not ready or get a Premier League loanee that can't be bothered to put a shift in. 

How many loanees can you think of that were unwilling to put a shift in?

I don’t think it’s a matter of effort. Smith and Levitt last season weren’t ready for league one football. Who would you rather sitting on the bench. Williams or Smith ? 

Which bloody one ???

Any chance we can get Bogle, Maddison, Levitt, Smith, Davis etc back too? Would be nice to get the old gang back together.

Re-signing Williams on a free on a nominal wage would be decent imo. 

We currently have no "attacking midfielder" and Adkins likes a 4231/ alternative wide player in a 433 (one out and out winger one wide forward/AM) the man signed for us once before not caring about wage, think he'd be a great squad option on a small wage, add in a loan/perm AM and that's that "player type sorted" 

Think if the deals there and it suits our budget, why not.




(I am a William s fan and had a few birras)

We still wouldn’t have an attacking midfielder - i am not sure what I would class Williams as but he doesn’t score or create enough to be deemed attacking.

Jesus Christ  !!!  What is it with some people ! Within an hour or so both Dodoo & Kaikai have been suggested.

They weren't any good then & they are even worse now.

Please can we move on.  

I only wanted to get my ‘LOL’s up to a hundred Golfie 😉

Innis, Famewo, Pearce, JFC and possible Williams would be 5 seriously injury prone players, we need to move away from that so Williams is a definite no from me even if he is cheap.

Not sure it's fair to class all those players as injury prone. Famewo suffered last season but not sure that's been an ongoing issue. JFC has suffered from a couple of nasty long term injuries but again, wouldn't say he's injury prone, he played 40 odd games last season and 45 in 17/18. Pearce will suffer from the odd niggle as he gets older but he's been available for 95% of the games since he's been here.

Hi new to this but Jonny Williams is running round my work had a quick chat would love to come back and left it with his agent left because fell out with bowyer

Is that his pre-season training?

Simon Church was just running round his local park in Reading when we signed him a week or so before a season started back in the bad old days.

Good info Lazza, thanks for sharing.

Has there been anything actually linking Williams with a move back to Charlton or is it just chat?

Nothing whatsoever. But when has that stopped the usual merchants on here?

He’s been training at Sparrows but nobody knows if either he or the club are looking at anything more than him keeping fit until he’s fixed up somewhere.

I know for a fact that is fake news.

As is my claim that I know for a fact.

As you were.

Read the mower guy's post from this morning. JW said he's left it in the hands of his agent.

Curious. Is that meant as a dismissive insult or are you too lazy to go back and get the correct user name?

Charlton fans defending Schwartz and Williams. A major part of why we are where we are. Get a grip ffs.

Grown adults who feel the need to slag off any players are the ones who need more of a grip me thinks!!

Jonny Williams is about my height, while fully grown adults, we still get the slightly myopic grown adults thinking we are kids 😞

Williams missed very few games for us through injury last season. He missed games because bowyer loves 35 year old defensive midfielders

Partly laziness & partly because I said I wasnt going to post anymore for a while & if people cant be arsed to keep up & read previous posts why should I do their work for them. Certainly meant no disrespect to the lad.

Its all there if you go back a few pages.

Come on man you do yourself no favours.

You can't slate other posters for not keeping up and reading previous posts if you can't even be arsed to read a posters name. Pretty disrespectful.

Stu_of_Kunming

Calm down Dazzling.

thenewbie

Getting off to a brisk start today, lovely stuff.

cfgs

TBH I feel we are at the point where I can share a shameful secret, if I log on and this thread has a huge number of new posts do I read them all?  No way I am weird not mental, I skim through looking to see if a rumour has surfaced amongst the tiffs.

soapy_jones

THIS THREAD WILL EXPLODE WITH AN AVALANCHE OF QUALITY SIGNINGS NEXT WEEK.

(Repeat 100 times and take a lay down)

Covered_End_Lad

Tbf to JW every time he had a good game last season Bowyer dropped him for the next few games. Impossible for a player to play themselves into form and consistency without a run of games, very similar to the Morgan and Gilbey situation under LB.

the time JW did get a run of games was the first 10-15 games in the championship and he was excellent.

I’m 45 and I don’t care what he calls me 

Scoham

Don’t want Williams back, I can see us bringing in more effective players whether permanently or on loan.

Mendonca In Asdas

I’m not too keen on signing Williams, too injury prone, I’d rather sign talented up and coming players whose value will increase with playing time.

I really like Jonny and he seems like a top guy, but I think Adkins and Gallen will have other targets in that position

I hope so too. It’s a real worry if they don’t. However as has been said already. As a player to fill the squad, who would you rather. Levitt or Williams for example ?

Be interesting to see if there’s any trialists today

If it gets down to that at the end of the window then Williams easily. 

Braziliance

How many points does this team get? I reckon we would be looking at spending around 3-4 million to have this side

RedRobin

Yeah I’d be surprised if the club re-signed Jonny, I wouldn’t be upset but it doesn’t shout ambition. Anyway….rumours??? Nah, didn’t think so 😂
