Jonny Williams made his Championship debut for Crystal Palace in August 2011. Since then, he's started a grand total of just 91 Premier League and Football League matches.
To put that figure into perspective, Joe Ralls is three days younger than Williams. He made his Championship debut for Cardiff City in October 2011. Since then, he's started 253 Premier League and Football League matches.
This is a concern. Why would McCarthy sign such an injury prone player, for such an important position?Originally Posted by The Lone Gunman
It is possible for a player to go through injuries early in their career and then not experience that later on in their career. My hope was that Jonny Williams was one of those and I think it could still be the case.
We're talking about a club that wants to focus on youth as a part of cost cutting. My believe is that Jonny is exactly the sort of person you want around the dressing room for that scenario and is capable of offering 2 goals and 5 assists in 34 Championship games which makes him more productive than Josh Murphy was for us this past year.
It's possible that his replacement will be older and more productive but that will get in the way of the younger players coming through and will probably cost the club more in wages (short-term) and development of these players (long-term).
