McCarthy: If Jonny Was Available I'd Probably Bring Him In
Saturday, 13th Sep 2014 06:00

Town manager Mick McCarthy has confirmed he’d bring Jonny Williams back to Portman Road on loan if he were to become available, however, Eagles boss Neil Warnock is currently not looking to let the 20-year-old leave Selhurst Park.

McCarthy says if he targets players on ‘emergency’ loans then they will go straight into the side: “That’s available to us for a while yet. I won’t take loan players and then not play them, that’s a recipe for disaster.

“You get them from Premier League clubs, they want them to play, obviously, that’s why they send them out.

“If anybody asks me the obvious question, if Jonny Williams became available and I could get him, I probably would bring him in and play him.”

Warnock plans to play the Wales international in Palace's Capital One Cup tie against Newcastle later this month but may look at loaning him out after that.

Speaking to the South London Press, he said: "I like Jonny Williams - I always have done. I've always felt that his best position is just behind the striker.

"If I can't get him involved straight away here then we'll look to get him somewhere where he can play in that position and I can watch him in four or five matches.

"There are three or four Championship clubs that would have him tomorrow. But I want to have a look at all of the boys over the next couple of games and decide who I let go short term.

"There is no chance that Jonny will be leaving the club permanently. I think he's going to be one hell of a player."

...that's if another club doesn't come in for him, personally feel it's all conjecture as I don't think Warnock will let him go.

Surco72 - that's a complete contradiction of what McCarthy is saying here but, no, fair enough, it seems far more sane to take your word for it rather than Mick's (i.e. the Ipswich Town manager). Thanks.

The emergence of Teddy Bishop in my view now makes the short term signing of Jonny Williams unnecessary. Although at the moment Williams is a better player than Bishop I do not think you could play both in the same side and if we were to sign and play Williams for three months it would be holding back Bishop's further development.
