Joniesta (Jonny Williams - CONFIRMED)

[J R Hartley]

Re: Joniesta

But he’s started in front of players that there’s no way we could sign for £250k tomorrow and that’s an important point as far as I’m concerned - that sort of fee is nothing these days and it’s hardly as if he’s that old (to read some of the comments in this thread you’d think he was forty!).

So what Wilson has started in front of him too. Starting in front of someone 3 times in 2 years is hardly massive kudos at international level when we are talking about club level and a 46 game season.

To use your logic theres average league one players starting in front of him regularly for Charlton. Then it should beg the question why? If starting a game is so important to you Jonny Williams is the wrong man to be using, hes appeared in more professional games off the bench than the start.

250k is somone on 10k a week on a 6 month loan. Might be peanuts to you but when the club are saying weve got to get rid of people off the wagebill before we can add to the squad why are we wasting a wage on a crock who has never done anything in this division?

Re: Joniesta

I just think he is too injury prone. A fine player when fit, which isn’t gfrequent enough for a 46 game league season. If he joined City, I would add a caveat to the terms and conditions that whilst with CCFC he would not be allowed to play for Wales.

Re: Joniesta

No, but I’m guessing around the same number as Tomlin did for us last season.

Shame he wasnt as productive as Tomlin in the minutes he does have on the pitch. Charlton might not have been relegated.

Once (in the first round of the FA Cup).

Tomlin played 90 minutes for us 12 times in the Championship last season.

Re: Joniesta

It’s absolutely amazing that both of us replied saying the same thing within a minute of each other to a message from hours ago! Talk about coincidence! I’m not accusing you of anything sinister here, just thinking about it, mad timing!

Pure coincidence, Your post wasn't up there when i was writing mine......honest! I was looking up the rules online.

I think you're correct, but I can't find it written down anywhere.

Yes, but is Tomlin Welsh?

Re: Joniesta

I don't think Williams will solve our problems but I also don't get this strange sneering attitude some have towards people who want more Welsh payers in the squad. Most fans of English clubs want more English players in their team so why is it any different for Cardiff fans to want more Welsh players?

Re: Joniesta

Jordan Rhodes in a swap deal with Murphy. It just goes from bad to worse.

Because weve only just got Jazz Richards off the books and this signing just smacks of another Jazz Richards. Injury prone league 1 player.

I don't want us to sign players who aren't good enough for the Championship just because they're Welsh.

Having Welsh players for the sake of it is what I don't agree with. I was happy with the Vaulks, Wilson and Moore signings but argued with those wanting us to sign Ledley and Gunter... And now Jonny Williams.

If we were linked with signing Neco Williams then that would be great... But wanting to sign Jonny Williams just because of the fact he's Welsh/chose to play for Wales makes no sense to me.

Is David Edwards still playing at Shrewsbury? There would be potentially some posters on here advocating us signing him because he's Welsh.

Re: Joniesta

Williams rocked up at Sunderland in their relegation season.

Sign league 1 quality players and dont be suprised when thats where you end up.

Crap signing hope its not true.
