At least he's an industrious player who if fit will give his all for the club, unlike some others currently in the squad.
What I find frustrating is that we seem unable to identify and sign any ball playing midfielders. Our team has been crying out for them since the Whittingham/McPhail era (with the exception of Jordan Mutch) and successive managers refuse to address the problem, There was a time that we could pick them up on loan from the PL/DIv 1. Players like James Harper and Eddie Newton for instance.
Of course the problem lies with the style of managers we have appointed over the last few years and until this changes be prepared to be bored rigid !
If someone (let’s say welshlad)had started a thread 4 weeks ago saying Harris is going to get sacked but the good news is that we’ve lined up Mick McCarthy and his first signing is going to be Joniesta I’d be surprised if anyone on here or indeed any fan wouldn’t have been appalled.... it’s a shitshow!
Welcome Joniesta add hopefully at least he will add some spirit and passion to that midfield .
You're probably right but the board won't listen to the fans so in the short term at least we have to grin and bear it. Vincent Tan can't be happy with the results or the performances so it remains to be seen what he will do when the fans return to the stadium. Or not !
Nice comments from Bowyer:
Charlton Athletic manager Lee Bowyer has confirmed that Jonny Williams is set to have a medical at Cardiff City.
A fee – reported to be £200,000 – has been agreed for the Wales international, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
Bowyer said: “A couple of days ago it[a deal] started.
“One of the things I’ll really miss is that smile every morning, he is a lovely lad. He has been great around the place and everyone is going to miss him.
“He’s only got a little bit left on his contract and this is the right thing for the club. It is a good deal for the club – and Jonny wanted to go there.
“Jonny is another one who came in dead and buried – he was playing U23s at Palace – but came here, played games and got back into the Wales side. He is another one who moves on and has improved as a player under us. The list is bloody endless – of people doing well and moving on.
Although its reported he's injury prone he has managed 60 games for Charlton since 2019 I'm guessing he's played for Wales as well during that period, could his robust all or nothing style and midfield position run a greater risk of injuries ??
I hope it's a loan. Why would they let Mick McCarthy sign players? We're not getting in the playoffs we're not getting relegated. So what's the point?
He’s failed the medical apparently!
