I just worry because not every signing is going to be the new Burns. Ernie did well giving Burns a chance and it was a great outcome, but that isn't to say every signing will be the same because Ernie gave them a chance.
However we have no visa spots, we are lacking in a striker and beggars can't be choosers.
Exactly. Williams is a lower risk as he is not a visa player and we do not have to let go of anyone for him.
I agree that his speed is not the same these days as when he played for NQ Fury, but he is still more of a true striker than anyone except Krishna and maybe Powell and Appiah. If he is fit, he is no worse than Krishna, and better than Appiah (I'm not sure how good Powell is).
However, he would be a useful player for squad depth and experience and if he was cheapish I'd take him on a 6 month contract and see how he went.
Edit: just had a look and last year Williams played 1500 mins for MC, scored 3 goals and got no assists. Krishna's played about 1100mins so far this season for us
