be great if we can get a transfer fee if he does good
he could get back to prem level if he truly has changed
Press release states 'club option'.
The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
The whole point of the club having the option to trigger an extra year is for our benefit, not the players. He cant refuse it.

To be honest though, if he had a great season and got back to his best, having a year plus the extra would give us more bargaining power if a prem team come sniffing..
I think the one-year deal with an option benefits us more than him. If we're being honest, players in his position who've got themselves into trouble rarely get fully over it and back to their previous level. They always have times where they say they've learned a lot and it's all behind them now, they're looking forward to proving people wrong etc and it never happens in the long term. This time last year it was Aaron Connolly giving interviews like that in the wake of his Sunderland move but sure enough it didn't last. I remember seeing interviews like that with people like Nile Ranger and Ravel Morrison over the years. "Oh I've learned so much and I wish I knew when I was 20 what I know now", but then they still end up going off the rails again and dropping further and further down the divisions.
By all accounts Williams is a good player and he's what we can get right now, but realistically it is a gamble on his character and it is rare that this type of gamble works out.

talk is cheap
its easy to say something
but actions speak much louder
if he wants to get another 60k+ a week deal
hes going to have to cut out those people he hung around with and dont touch nitrous oxide ever again
we shall see
Ahhh Bistrović
If he smashes it then we trigger the option and sell for a decent fee.
He does ok then still can trigger and maybe extend.
If he's been a **** then we can let him go after the year.
Or he smashes it, we get promoted and he extends for a prem team with a chance to get back to the top table.

he certainly has the potential, I'd post d before saying a year in the wilderness could have sorted his head out, he's older and should be more mature now too, opportunity to show what he's got and get a move back to the prem where he prob thinks he should be playing......sadly same was true for others like ravel Morrison twt
I think Triantis from Sunderland would be a good signing. They’re willing to sell or loan him out.
Clearly a talented player but he's not having the career he could've had. And there was a clip of him the other day in a friendly against Villa where he smashes Onana after the ball has gone for no obvious reason, and then according to Villa players he spat at him afterwards. Seems to be still a tit.
You’d imagine that, after a year, if he does well and keeps his head screwed on he’ll not just get the extension but probably a new contract offer too. We either sell him at that point or we have a very good player tied down. If it doesn’t work out, we haven’t over committed. From a footballing perspective it’s a win win.
Didn't you suggest Kristijan Bistrović a couple months ago?
