Garry Monk hails skipper Ashley Williams as one of top ''3 or 4'' centre backs in Premier League. Pleased no bids for him in window.

He is and would get into any team in the premier league. £400,000 what a great bit of business by Huw. :notworthy:

Rio Ferdinand was saying something similar earlier in the week. Harry Redknapp said that Williams, Bale, and Rambo would 'walk' into the current England team, (not just squad). If my memory serves me right, it was Brian Flynn that first spotted Ashley Williams, and got him into the Wales set-up. Still good business by Swansea, though. Who was the manager when they bought him?

Roberto Martinez and we signed him towards the end of the season we got promoted from div 1.

I think they would walk into the England Team, probably none of the rest though......

I am quite surprised that no bigger clubs have made an offer for him.

Iirc Laudrup's agent was touting him to Liverpool and Arsenal a couple of years ago which is where the problems with Laudrup started.
