Ashley Williams, 35, is currently without a club having finished the season at Bristol City but his future is in limbo with the Robins yet to announce a new manager. Anyone bring him back for the season at the right wage/salary?
Does he have a season or two left in him? Could be a good mentor to some of the younger chaps, if he were to work with them as well. Maybe, at the right price.
No. Tw@t chased the money when we needed him. Fvck him-we’re not a charity and my benevolence only stretches so far.
Generally speaking managers and players returning to former clubs doesn’t work Leon, Gylfi and to a degree Yorath. So I would not want Williams back...he would want to much money @nyway.
Curt, Mel Nurse, Ivor and Len all returned and all worked as well As for Ashley Williams, on balance I would not want him back as I suspect that he could be a ‘destabilising’ (too powerful) figure in the dressing room. Think I’d rather bring back Chico
Sheffield United are willing to pay £6 million to sign Wales international Connor Roberts from Swansea City, according to the Sun (9 August, page 60). After making his 100th appearance for his boyhood club, a Neath-born right-back is facing up to what is probably the most difficult decision of his career to date.
I'd much rather he stayed , a newish position for him and a decent end to the season under a manager who seems to get the best out of a young side . and only 6 million
I agree - he seemed to thrive in the different formation. If he did leave, Kyle Naughton would ‘have to’ stay ...
I'd like to keep the two but as Connor is younger and more of a sell able asset then he would be my choice of the two
Swansea City has completed the signing of midfielder Korey Smith on a two-year contract, subject to international clearance. Smith, 29, joins the Swans having left Bristol City following six years with the Robins, and becomes Steve Cooper’s first signing ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. During his time at Ashton Gate Smith made 196 appearances, helping them to promotion from League One and Football League Trophy success in 2015. He also memorably scored the late winner to knock Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup and send Bristol City into the semi-finals of the competition in December 2017, and was also entrusted with the Robins captaincy. please log in to view this image Smith brings a wealth of experience to Cooper’s squad, having made more than 170 Championship appearances in a career that has also includes spells with Norwich City and Oldham Athletic. He captained the Canaries at youth level before making his first-team breakthrough, and would go on to help them win promotion to the Championship and then the Premier League in consecutive seasons. Smith made 73 appearances in all competitions for the East Anglians, whilst also having loan spells with Barnsley, Yeovil and Oldham before sealing a permanent move to the Latics in 2013, making the switch to Bristol City a year later. His final appearance for the Robins came against the Swans at the Liberty last month, in a game the hosts won 1-0 on their way to securing a play-off spot.
