CONFIRMED - Danny Williams

[Judge Drenthe]

Id rather the Yank to the German but neither of them are the Attacking Midfield player we need.

Williams aint a Yank, he's a German.

What is it about dual nationality people don't understand?

[Mike Hunt]

for someone who is not English, wtf is a struggle pig?

He's a pig because he lives in Germany (who lost the World Wars) despite being American (the country that won both World Wars single handedly with no help from the Russians).

He struggles because he's a defensive midfielder and experienced prejudice stemming from the aforementioned pigginess.

I am going to take this as a serious answer as I do not know any better, so fanx!

Chairman Sir John Madejski said: "These are exciting times for the club and Danny's acquisition is another step forward for us.

Surely you mean 'dangerous times for the club' John, what with splashing out all this cash in such a reckless and unlike 'Reading Way' or is it easy to get excited over doing the right thing now it is someone else's money?!

[Unbelievable Jeff]

A few more quotes from the Hoffenheim Forum. through the dodgy google translate

Absolutely! He is an important man for us! cool guys

Now it's Official: ( I find unfortunate, Williams was always s great guy and a great player!

Too bad - Williams was among those who have given the TSG emotions and who gives the impression that they make more than just a job at TSG

I do not understand the change of Williams. Why is away? If the game does not fit into the system, or gave Gisdol differences or what? Would interest me. Williams has me really well-liked with us.

Times but was a really nice interview of Danny after the game. Seems to me to be a down to earth player with an eye for the essential. Was once a really good boy obligation.

Seems very promising at the moment.......

Sounds a bit worrying unless he was suffering with his ankle injury during this period. Taken from

Williams saw his career plateau in the last year as he struggled for an awful Hoffenheim team and eventually was planted on the bench. Once a regular starter for Hoffenheim, Williams' poor play, fraught with poor positioning and sloppy passes, kept him from making a single appearance in April and May. That stint on the bench coincided with Hoffenheim's turnaround as they grabbed points in five of their last seven matches to climb from the drop zone to the relegation playoff, which they won to keep their place in the Bundesliga.

He was injured early April which kept him out of the side.

It wasn't April onwards I was concerned about, more the comments on his poor positioning and sloppy passes that worried me.

I love google translate! Makes work 200% more fun (as do these forums)

All will be revealed in August. He can't be worse than l,wood for passing and positioning.

Well, as shown earlier, Hoff fans (who watched him week in week out) r8 him, so tbh that just make me thinks that one link is from a guy who doesn't know much about anything and is drawing conclusions from circumstance rather than actual performance.

[Terminal Boardom]

Interesting signing this one. I know absolutely nothing about him but a full international and 24 is not to be sneezed at. Further evidence that last season's oxf*rd up by McD etc is well behind us. Now for NA to create a winning team with the resources at his disposal.

He had just a six-game patch like that, then got his starting place back for four games, then got injured

I really hope Struggle Pig catches on as a nickname.

[jellytot]

Good signing for me. More pace and energy in the midfield. Think this means that leig will be getting a taxi to Leeds soon to follow the other Reading rejects! Or Guthrie is off...? Anyway hope it is Leig as he was like a scarecrow for most of last season.

That's the spirit!

[Booseal]

The player is reportedly Danny Williams, a defensive midfielder born in germany but plays for america. Possibly as the end may be near for karacan?

Reportedly...... reported where exactly?

reliable sauce, few formalities to be completed yet but looks basically done

Kudos to lemontree

[Royal Ginger]

Are we "doing a QPR"?

[Big Ern]

I had never heard of this player let alone seen him play. Therefore I am going to state that he will be the greatest player the English game has ever seen without doubt in the history of the world.
