Town Facing Competition for Keeper
Thursday, 20th Jun 2013 09:09

Town are facing competition from Blackpool and Bristol City for keeper Owain Fon Williams’s signature, while the Welshman’s current club Tranmere are still hopeful that the 26-year-old will stay at Prenton Park, according to reports this morning.

TWTD reported Town’s interest in the former Crewe, Rochdale and Stockport man a week ago with the Blues previously having been linked with moves for him in 2009 and 2010.

Williams, who has been capped by Wales at U17, U19 and U21 levels but is yet to make a senior appearance despite a number of call-ups, is expected to make a decision on his future before the weekend.

As we reported at the weekend, Town are also targeting a return for former loan keeper Stephen Henderson, whose opportunities at West Ham would be limited if he remained at Upton Park next season with the Hammers having added another keeper, Spaniard Adrian, to their squad this summer.

Scott Loach is currently the Blues' only senior keeper with Arran Lee-Barrett and Jason Brown having been released at the end of the season.

walberswick we were in play off form from when mick took over so the same squad with a couple of additions for cover suits me just fine thats not lacking ambition thats just saying if it aint broke dont fix it.
we have gone down the route of big fees big wages big egos before and it does not work for us.
mick is building an actual team and keeping it simple and cutting are cloth accordingly with FFP in mind cannot be a bad thing.
people moan that players are paid too much and are now moaning when spending is bought under conrtol.
for the record col u got promoted and finished 10th in the championship a few years ago with a team made up largely of free agents parkinson signed and blended into a team and none of them were on big money

walberswick added 20:34 - Jun 20 broadly, we agree then

'Clamity fon,Williams' , 'waste of space' - some of you on here really are Jokers. Lets deal with the facts, although In did a chuckle at some of the comments, who on here can honestly say:

A) They have ever heard of him
B) Ever seen him play

Anyone who answers B is definitely lying. FFS, Give the guy a chance!!

As for ALB, good Ipswich lad, who stepped up to the plate & rarely let the Town down when we had no other fit or available keepers & were unable to sign anyone. Not a Paul Cooper or Richard Wright but worth a no13 shirt imo. Good luck Aaron. Kelvin Davis return, Anyone?
