Ashley Williams

[davek]

He was better than Baines last season, or at least we looked a lot better with him there.

Ge defo was mate. Solid.

It wasn't with Coleman

No. Nor Osman or Barkley. But generally in my experience it does.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Galloway is probably more likely to be a CB for us anyway

 

[Phil Condom]

Great signing is Williams

 

[BigBlueConk]

Our defence is now better than last season already

 

[Muggins]

Good luck to the lad. Hope he takes on the challenge with total commitment.

I was unsure about the potential signing but now it's done I think he could help the team massively.

Get him straight in the team to kick everyone up the backside. Very soon it's big balls time when the season kicks off.

What's with everyone falling out with Jags?

 

[Paul w]

I'd punt him now. Not at the races as a defender, limited for us going forward.

If Koeman brought Bertrand from Southampton I'd be pleased.

There's a lad playing for palace at left back cannot think of his name impressed me when I seen him last season.

No-one is falling out with jags. But many quite rightly see Williams as the new leader at the back (koeman even spoke of his leadership qualities) and naturally many see jags as a 33 year old defender who in the last 6 months has started to miss games through injury. Many are putting 2 and 2 together and see williams not just the replacement for stones but possible replacement for jags, should we go ahead and acquire Kone as well.

Good signing but hope the Euros dont catch up with him. This will be the first time he hasnt had close season training. All players seem to struggle after a summer tournament.

 

[Nymzee]

Actually completely forgot about how often he's played in a back 3 loads before. Must have a been a real + point for Koeman since none of our current defenders had done it before I don't think.

 

[VaguelyBrown]

Chuffed with this one, cracking bit of business this

Couple more signings of this quality and higher, and I think we'll all be much happier with how the squad looks

Of all the Southampton players he's the top of my list if Koeman was to try poach a player.
Really think Chelsea dropped one there.

CL winning player; England international. It's clear Koeman doesn't fancy what we've got at LB. I cant understand why he hasn't gone for him.
