It's possible we might have to wait a little longer for his debut. He came off training early today, they won't know for sure until the next few days. Let's hope it's not as serious as feared! |  | | |  |

We could certainly do with this (from his time with Eibar last season):-
He scored six in five games in September and October
That would get us over the current hump ! |
It would be very nice if he can do it.
But as we know Goals in other Leagues do not necessarily translate to goals in the Prem.
But someone who knows where the back of the net is will always be dangerous in attack. | | | |

I have seen no quotes from Ash or spoke to him about it so I cannot say for sure.
However, I believe the whispers that it was because we failed to sign Joe. He wasn't aching for a move before the Euro's or in the weeks after them. His desire to move appeared to become apparent after it was confirmed me would not be signing Joe. |
Nothing to do with the big wage increase Everton were offering him then? |  | | |

You're making out like the club wanted to keep the player. Seems pretty obvious to me we wanted to cash in for a good fee and get one of the top earners off our books who is nearing the end of his career. |  |

Ash's agent confirmed that Swansea were willing to match Everton's wage offer in an interview on radio 5 last week. |  |

OK but probably not the signing on fee as well? | | | |

I think he wants to be called Borja.
He'll keep faking injuries until we get it right. |
OK, but let's hope he's not a poisoned chalice. |  | | |

Nope, if you think there was no financial benefit to him in the move that's fair enough, I don't happen to agree. | | | |

Really couldn't give a toss about Ash. He's no longer our player. |  |

I am sure there was financial incentive. However, I believe he moved because he saw what a mess happening to the club off the pitch regarding recruitment.
He knew the club was heading backwards and jumped ship accordingly. If we had signed Joe Allen and looked in a better position heading into the season, I believe he would still be here. | | | |

I think it was his last chance of a big money move & he took it.
I've got no issue with him for making that decision either but I don't see it as some sort of judgment on the state of our club. | | | |

Sensible people appear to believe that he decided he was going when it became obvious to him that he was going to be treated as a player and only a player from now on, and that his opinion on other wider issues would not necessarily be acted on.
Nothing to do with signings. | | | |

The series of events:
Man City bid for Stones
Everton bid £10m to replace Stones - rejected
Everton bid £12m to replace Stones - accepted
Williams agrees to move for payday
Stones and Williams move clubs
Dont think there is anything more sinister than that. Club decided to cash in and player gets final big payday knowing the club wont stump up big numbers. Agent strokes players ego in the media stating we pulled out the stops to keep him, i doubt we did tbh when a fat cheque for 32 yr old defender is waved in Huws face | |

We wouldn't have got £12m from Everton if Stones hadn't gone for so much, same as £35m for Carroll but lets not facts get in the way of things. |  |

Who knows, who cares, apart from people determined to beat the club up for absolutely everything. Compared to the outcome of the Trust/Yank discussions it is trivial bullshit.
We should have two stickies, or we're going to have the same bollocks every week.
Sticky 1: Ashley Williams is not a Swans Player
Sticky 2: Joe Allen is not a Swans Player |  |

Joey fooking Allen!! If an academy can't produce a player of the standard he was at 21 there's something seriously wrong. Basically be physically fit and learn to position yourself decently. Pay money for positions where real talent is required |  |

to be fair I'm already well past williams going to everton. It was a punch in the gut. but ehhh... it happens. If anything I would probably imagine him ending up here in some facility when his playing days are done. |  |

If there is any truth in the rumours of Ash leaving because of Rodgers and / or Allen not being brought back then I'm not sure that would be a particularly good move for the Club. |  | | |

Already a weight of expectation on him, hope he's more Michu than Gomis! |  | | |

What a strange post. So, what you're saying is that anyone can do what Joe has done. Get fit, learn positioning and you're a £15 million pound Liverpool player and star of the Welsh team. | | | |
