He’s played something like 500 matches in the last 10 years, all at a higher level than we currently are playing at. Seems like a very good signing and will bring experience that a relatively young squad needs. Happy with this one.
Now let’s get some more.5 -

Really pleased with this .
He has nearly as many caps as our two most decorated Welsh International defenders Mark Bowen (41) and Leighton Phillips (58) combined . It would be great if he reached 100 caps as an Addick .
I probably would have preferred Adam Matthews as he played for us last season and was training with us but as others have said Chris Gunter has consistently kept Adam out of the Welsh team under different managers so he is probably the better player .
Like with Ben Watson I would have been happy with this addition in the Championship and in L1 it is brilliant signing .3 -
Agreed. Its hard not to be pleased about this signing.se9addick said:He’s played something like 500 matches in the last 10 years, all at a higher level than we currently are playing at.

Starts on the bench in tonight's friendly but Williams starts.0

Excellent signing, reliable and plays plenty of games. Certain to be out with a long term injury within weeks.1
-
Was going to write about how I’ve always been impressed when I’ve seen him play, and what a good signing he is.But the last player I did that about was David Davis!9

Finally we have found a spare shirt for our owner , come on seriously get him out of the old oneForeverAddickted said:0 -
Strange oversight seeing TS in last season's shirt. Maybe that's why we hired a technical director to get these little details correct?!3
-
Not an oversight. He bought last season's shirt with the promise to wear it on completion. That's what he did. I have no doubt he'll get this seasons too.4
-
He should really be wearing the time-honoured classic. Andrews air conditioning.0

“We tried really hard to get him last season because he wasn’t really in Reading’s plans,” said Bowyer. “But we just couldn’t afford him. “Now that’s changed. It’s a good signing."
That's likely because a fee would have been asked. Bow's saying how hard it is with the wage cap, but referencing us being able to afford somebody that we previously could not.

No doubt the fine detail is in the contract.killerandflash said:

Remember, we have to be creative.
My thinking is: a smaller salary this year to conform to wage cap; promotion bonus incentive, decent increase in Championship wages if promoted.
Something like that. I could be wrong, of course. It wouldn't be the first time!

Or smaller wage but longer contract.4

aaaaah so offer a decent player a 50 year contract at £2k per week .....wallop the same as a 4 year contract on £25k per weekHenry Irving said:Or smaller wage but longer contract.7 -
The Athletic did an interesting article a few weeks back where they said that money isn't the sole consideration
It was felt geography and ambition were equally important to most players.0 -
Can't someone rewrite the title of this thread?
This isn't a Millwall forum.4 -
Do I remember that Darren Pratley signed initially for us, because we offered him a 2 year contract on a smaller wage rather than a 1 year contract on a bigger wage elsewhere?Henry Irving said:Or smaller wage but longer contract.
Something he said about job security for the extra year being important to him at his age.
