Ashley Williams

[matty1878]

Agreed

Literally the only catch with this is that he'll have zero sell on value

But we'll likely get at least 2-3 years use of a very good CB, and it'll no doubt benefit Galloway, Browning and Pennington's development to have his experience to draw from

Great piece of business this

Just need to hold onto Lukaku, get a goalkeeper and a back up striker now and I'll reckon we're set up pretty well for a good season

Probably the one person not pleased with this news is Jags

That's a start..... Mate we need decent midfielders pronto

Hang on he was keeping Baines out of the tean till he got injured game time where he will get kicked to hell like Garbutt did!

If Koeman is going to play with a back 3, then Galloway isn't good enough going forwards to play wing back imo. Which means he'd be vying for one of the CB berths.

 

[RFUS]

Taken in isolation, I'm made up with this signing. Quality player and crucially, leader.

He was magnificent going forwards better than Baines he was keeping him out of the team until injury!

BBC confirming £12m bid.

Hopefully we get another CB in as well.

You know these slick, over the top media vids for Stones and Pogba announcements?

I think we should get in the spirit of it.

Get Williams to dress up like Ash from Pokemon (geddit??) and he throws poke balls (not real ones obvs) into the Finch Farm bushes, and shouts "GOTCHA @hktoffee !!" Or "@hktoffee has been caught!"

Obviously cut the bits where Merseyside's special enforcement unit takes the perpetrator away. Maybe make it a Vine actually

Not rating him as a player or captain I can understand, but working yourself into a rage over a player to the point where you want them to do one is pretty sad Davey. Whatever level you would put him at he has had many good performances for us over the years.

Modern football fans........

I have no qualms whatsoever in calling that feller the worst Everton captain I've seen in years.

Thank God Williams comes straight in and rips the armband off him. Hopefully the next step is he's punted to a no mark club like Sunderland.

 

[windymiller]

what are you even on about. Nolito isn't a center half, and hasn't had years of playing and captaining in england.

You said it was a good deal for everyone. I politely disagree. It is a good deal for Swansea, £12M for a 32 year old is nuts, it is a good deal for Williams, nice retirement pay rise, can't see how it is a good deal for us.

As for Nolito, I was trying to demonstrate that there are no equivalent deals for players of that age in the PL this year (at least so far) and the only deal even close in terms of age/cash was the Nolito deal.

thank goodness, perhaps colour in some of those foam tennis balls?

We have decent midfielders

They just need to find their form again

 

[meagher94]

So does he instantly become captain?

Imagine the horrible racism Williams would suffer at the hands of hktoffee, not worth the risk exposing him to the pope loving knobhead straight away.

Cashley cashley cashley cashley Williams! lol

Nah, he really wasn't mate.

Defensively solid but he's no wing back

Its a good deal for everton, it's a good deal for swansea and the player him self.

If you can't see why it's a fair deal for us then.. ok.
