Found this on whoscored.com J.williams strengths - key passes Weaknesses- tackling,finishing, passing and Ariel duals Where's he actually gonna get in the side. Can think of 4 players that would get in front of him as a number 10 - puncheon, Cabaye, mcarthur and lee. Even in the wide positions he's behind sako,Zaha,Townsend ,lee and puncheon. If he hasn't forced he's way on the bench and he's competing against the likes of sako and lee, then the premiership not for him.

Has anyone here actually seen JW play a match recently? I thought not Lots of opinions though
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

He hasn't he scored a league goal for Palace in the 55 he's played. With FDB arrival doesn't all of sudden turn Williams into David silva for instance. When the 25 man squad was chosen the likes of mutch,lee and many others ahead of him. If he didn't have an academy background, he'd of been sold. Look at his stats, hardly was that impressive on loan at Ipswich.

He's like the Regimental Mascot; you wouldn't want to parade without him yet will likely be back in the stables when battle begins. Joniesta loves Palace and we love him and it's nice to see him back and smiling.

JW has got skill and this is why he is constantly getting injured as he does not seem to have the physical strength to withstand being clattered. If he can toughen up and take the field with the same mental attitude that he displayed in the Euros, then he may well fit into the FdB style of play. Let's give him a chance in the pre-Season games and see where he goes from there.

My goodness if Williams had NOT come through our academy and was purchased, would we have had this debate ? Probably many would be thinking "Get rid".

Only because he came through the academy and runs around like a mad thing does he get given so much love by the fans. Injuries have massively hampered him but does he really have the technique for the Premier League?
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. |

Realise i'm in the minority with this and understand why, however I still feel that injury permitting, given a run in the team Williams would prove his worth. One of those was a player who scored vital goals, provided assists and was sold to Man Utd for £15m. The other was mostly peripheral and behind Garvan, Dobbie and Moritz. As impressive as Wilf? Come on!
