Gazred Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Personaly i hope it becomes perm, not a bad player but has never really fulfilled the potenial from his Yeovil days. With Sno and Elliot back soon to compete against the current first choice of Skuse, Johnson and Hartley its a sensible loan. Still no word on the loan defender coming in then? Perhaps later today now that some wages have been freed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfan Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Said in a post last month that I would expect him to be gone in the summer. Not sure that it's a case of he hasn't found his form. More that we have so many midfielders and most are better than him. Players like Williams, Noble and even Trundle in the 'hole' position just don't seem to figure in the 11, even though we bought them knowing exactly what they were good at. Anyway, I can't really see him playing for us in any permanent way, others are much stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him, he sounds like a good lad, but has always been on the edges of the squad here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Why do i get the feeling we will still be paying 70% or so of his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Have to say I'm disappointed. Seems a great player but has had limited chances. I hope this works out for him. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dont understand why creative and gifted midfield players like williams dont get a look in under johnson?? Disappointed. particularly when we have a less talented midfielder in the team - just does not make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceRed Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I thought he was one of our better players last year. We got him fairly cheaply due to previous injuries, so not a big blow really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 To me he is like Weale, seemed to be here ages but I can't really say I know him. I had high expectations of him , well I believed the hype that he was to be the best thing since sliced bread. Good luck to him, I expect the Yeovil fans are genuinely delighted to see him back as he was popular. We will see what happens after the month. It's good news that Elliott and Sno are just about fit to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to the rhythm Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Why do i get the feeling we will still be paying 70% or so of his wages. Because we almost certainly will be. I wonder what percentage of Iwelumo's wages are still being paid by Wolves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs4_bcfc Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've always liked Gav, good creative attacking midfielder. Just like David Noble. Talking of David Noble anyone know how he's getting on at Exeter. has played yet or is he still recovering from injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Can't get a game here with two central midfielders injured and one on international duty - not going to get a new contract presumably, so this is a chance to get a deal elsewhere. Makes sense, calls into question signing him in the first place. He seems talented but he's either injured or for some other reason unpicked mainly so best to move him on.

Talking of David Noble anyone know how he's getting on at Exeter. has played yet or is he still recovering from injury? He wont play this season, still recovering from a really bad cruciate knee injury. could be carrear threating from what I've heard, he may have played his last game.

madmax Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 may have had limited chances but when they have come along he has not made the most of them- hope Yeovil works out. Swings and roundabouts. Lack of match fitness/practice doesn't help. More first teams games would have seen the real Williams IMO. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdeady Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I must say I am really disappointed with this, the only real attacking midfielder in the squad, but he was never going to get a look in so I guess it's the best thing for the player, the failure to utilise players like this has stunted our progress but that's just my opinnon.

petehinton Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 oh dear. The only Midfielder (except Skuse maybe?) that can pick the ball up deep and run with it, in confidence. Johnson has issues seeing talent. But i guess this means his son has less competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't, it's just CiderHider putting the boot in. Noble has a standard ACL rupture, had the keyhole surgery and is nearly through the recovery. His game will be fine since he wasn't exactly blisteringly quick in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having known a player come through a ACL injury it's not as straightforward as you make out. The rehab goes on for months and is hard work - if Noble is anything less than dedicated he'll struggle to be a good footballer again. Back to Williams I'll miss him if he goes. He's the only central player who seems able to drive forward with the ball at his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know three people who've had it done, it's not career threatening these days at all, it's just a long recover period (6 months minimum with luck and support, sometimes over a year). If you do it a second time it's problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Risk Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 i personally am really disappointed in this. I thought he was our best player over the last 3-4 months of last season, scored a few goals was creative and very skilful......really thought he would kick on this season but for some reason hasnt worked out for him. I hope this is not the last we have seen of Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Nibor, I'm not deliberately putting tut boot in, I'm just sure I read (on here i think) that his injury was so bad he was unlikely to ever play at champ level again. Aye I hope I'm wrong, never had any issues with Nobes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is not the last we have seen of Williams Me too. He was only ever given one chance in his favoured central role, and he looked class. Could someone tell me what Lee Johnson does better than Gavin? It's not heading or tackling. The problem is I can't say I'm surprised, seems to have happened to other players as well.
