Palace Want Ash – Silly Season Gets Sillier

What I ask from here is whether anyone could tell me why Ashley Williams would want to consider a move to Crystal Palace or why Swansea would consider selling their captain to a club who have finished lower down the table than they have.

At least with the Liverpool rumour you could see some half logic in it with Liverpool clearly having ambition of a Top four place for next season and Ashley being one of the most composed centre halves in the division.

But there is no logic in Palace wanting to make a move other than it potentially could increase season ticket sales as fans believe that they have great ambitions but those ambitions will clearly die out when it turns out to be nothing other than paper talk.

I hate to say this and it sounds ‘big club mentality’ but a move to Palace would be a backward step for someone like Williams and in a season where he will not want any backward steps and at a time of his career where he couldn’t afford any there is no way that this one has any truth in it at all and is probably the craziest, funniest rumour I have heard all summer.
