Why are we signing a player who's basically identical to Ben Reeves except maybe a tiny bit better? I guess I answered my question. Maybe we can play both and they could pass to each other loads
They're both likely to be injured 50 per cent of the time so hopefully one or other might be occasionally available.

This would be quite incredible if true. I see Williams as a Championship level player who once had the potential to play at a higher level, but was hammered by injuries. I think that he hasn't actually played below Championship level in his career, so I'm not quite sure how we're pulling this one off even with his injury history. A loan would make more sense given our usual MO. He's apparently on £15,000 p/w at Palace, so I'm amazed we would be looking at a permanent deal for a top earner (he'd have to take a cut but our top earners are around £7,000 p/w aren't they?) with our current ownership..
Good point about the wages. Plus the player himself would want to see what type of reception he would get plus cafc can send him back if the fragility continued.

If we can get him fit, cracking player! lets hope he isn't just one for the injury list or signed on pay as you play
sorry to say @johnnybev1987 .. he's an injury prone little midfielder, 118 games over 7 seasons and just 2 goals .. similar player to Ward but not so robust .. not for me
I'm usually a bit clueless when it comes to other players but he must have something about it & should enhance the team (when fit) However, I would prefer Ward if it was a choice between the 2.
You never know, Williams injuries may be all behind him & we get 3/4/5 full seasons out of him.
Wolves are interested in signing Tammy Abraham but Chelsea need to decide if they want to a) recall him from his loan at Villa and b) actually sell him

IF he joins us, let's hope so .. I'm usually an optimist, but when it comes to signing players I am a pragmatic thinker. I'd prefer newbies who have a decent fitness record and have played regularly for a couple of seasons at least. Our recent new singing (loan and perm)/injury ratio is appalling.

Wolves probably only want to buy him to fook up Villa

funny that, because that's what LB said a week or two back............that anyone coming in would have been playing regularly this season.
Is the general feeling that we will have no new bodies through the door for Saturday?
On a serious note, I'm hoping the Instagram following situation with Greg Leigh means he's been round the ground and had a medical and just a case of pen to paper but we will see.

Also on a serious note he has probably passed the medical.
Midfielder will sign tonight or in morning, left back ready to sign now but bowyer holding off for better next week - ditto the other midfielder
Assume this means Williams to sign and that Leigh is likely but Bowyer perhaps wondering if we get taken over by the weekend and can maybe sign a better left back next week?

Quite how Bowyer and Gallen can effectively plan is beyond me. I think we all know that this latest upsurge in hope is more than likely to come to nothing and certainty not in time to have an impact on this window unless it really does happen within the next day or so.

I think he is still hoping that JDS could come back.
