    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.

    He has been trained to dive from palace cheating bastards they all do it at palace 
    I wish he'd do it in the penalty box though, his falls tend to be well away from the box...

    He did it in that away game against Peterborough in the first half last season

    Dont think Bowyer was too impressed with it

    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.

    Once him and the other injured players get back we will rise back up the table no doubt and relegation will be an afterthought for all the bed wetters 
    Unfortunately that didn’t work out as well as you’d hoped. 🙁

    Unfortunately I was taking the piss out of the rose tinted 
    I was considered a bedwetter ☹️

    Is he'd done it against Birmingham, won a penalty and we went on to win 2-1, I doubt Bowyer would have minded

    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

    Like JFC, of course he's going to take up the option in the current environment...literally no downside

    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.

    Hopefully means Bowyer is staying

    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
