Ashley Williams

[Hibbertinho]

Then get slated on here for using us to get himself a new contract, ala Aranoutivic

Worst transfer window ever this! I preferred the one where we couldn't afford £1m to buy Brian McBride because he was 30 and took Delron Buckley on trial!

Arouna-tivic?

He sounds suspiciously familiar...

...like a new signing!

remember when we sold Rooney and suddenly had some money so we went on a bender and got Phil Neville and Simon Davis. Those were the days

No no no they weren't.

When Googling for news on Williams it brought me here so thought I'd get involved.

Very good player, would make us stronger in defence almost straight away.

Why have we only signed one player so far though when the season starts this weekend?

Ask Sam whats going on lad, and tell Herbert his building is gash

 

[John Osters Love Child]

No no no they weren't.

lollollollol

Absolutely no-one has compared Williams with Maldini you monstrous ted

Cannavaro though...

No Davies and Neville were signed when we qualified for Champions League. Knew it was all going to end in tears when they signed, both probably will make my worst ever XI!

Also Spurs sold Davies for £3.5m and signed Lennon for £500k that summer!!

Maldini was a left back.

 

[Joey66]

if its over 13 million I hope it falls through its a big gamble older players injure more frequently, and no sell on fee also big wages, and he still plays internationals surely we can find better???
It may work out great for us as I rate him, but we are two seasons too late imo!

 

[Goat]

Hopefully we push this through very soon, im hoping we pay in excess of 20m.

I'd prefer to pay £22m now than the expected £19.4m tomorrow. An extra day of exposure to the Welsh market would be more than worth it.

Ive heard Swansea would accept 15m.

I say we just go in hard at 25m.

If we stagger the payments over his six year contract we'd be wise making it a cool £30m, what with borrowing rates being so low at the moment.

Top 5 Ev transfer windows of the Kenwright era:

2005 - qualified for the Champions League and had to sign players to push on to the next level. Linked with Riquelme, Bellamy, Robbie Keane. Bought Simon Davies, Kroldrup and Ferrari (on loan)

2011 - sold Arteta on deadline day and brought in an Argentinian bin man and Drenthe (on loan)

2009 - "signed" Ever Banega. Then dropped his work permit down a grid and bought Bilyaletdinov for £10m

2008 - "signed" Moutino, then the transfer delegation fell off a cliff in Portugal into the sea. Signed Segundo Castillo (on loan) and went into the opening day of the season bringing Jose Baxter off the bench to save the game

2016 - taken over by billionaire in the winter and an influx of TV money in the summer. Poached the manager of a team that finished 6th, linked with everyone from Juan Mata to Julian Draxler. Bought Idrissa Gueye for £7m from the Prem's worst ever team
