    <h3 class="headline"><font size="2">TOWN TARGET WILLIAMS </font></h3><div class="lastEditDate" id="lastEditDate"><font size="2">Posted on:Wed 11 Jul 2007</font></div><div class="articleBody" id="articleBody">

    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">Town boss Andy Ritchie has today confirmed that Town are chasing Barnsley's 22-year old defender Robbie Williams.</span></p>

    <font size="2" /></p>

    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">Ritchie has agreed a fee with his former club for the left-sided player and talks are now ongoing between the two parties.</span></p>

    <font size="2" /></p>

    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">Town fans will be encouraged to hear that Williams has been a key part of two sides winning promotion from League One in the previous two-seasons - in 2005/06 with the Tykes and last season while on loan at Blackpool, when he scored a 30-yard free-kick against Yeovil Town at Wembley.</span><font size="2"> </font></p><a name="continue" />

    <font size="2" /></p>

    <font size="2">htafc.com got the first word with the Town boss today over the progression of the potential move.</font></p>

    <font size="2" /></p>

    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">&quot;We've agreed a fee with Barnsley for Robbie&quot;, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">confirmed Ritchie. &quot;It's now just a case of holding talks with him to try and agree a move.</span></p>

    <font size="2" /></p>

    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">&quot;Robbie is exactly the type of player that we need. He can play either at left-back or on the left side of midfield and that is exactly what we're looking for at the moment.&quot;</span></p>

    <font size="2" /></p>

    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: MetaNormal-Roman">Ritchie will know about the qualities that Williams offers better than most, with the Pontefract-born set-piece specialist having played a total of 78 times for the Tykes - most of which came during Ritchie's tenure at Oakwell.</span></p></div>

    Jeez, that seems steep....

    but probably worth it to get them to take him off our hands.

    We paid 100K for Grant McCann,

    who looked out of his depth last season.</p>

    Time to recoup some money.</p>

    RE: McCann will come good next season

    Why are you so sure about that then.
    He is out of his depth in the Championship, on his showings so far at least.
    Too slow, slow as Hecky, not a good passer, not a good tackler , but he can shoot.
    Bloody Hell I have got it, he`s the 4th Striker (doh) (doh) (doh)

    McCann is a good passer, as far as I can tell.

    Another player written off too soon, like so many before him, and ultimately, so many that will follow.

    I think Grant is a very talented footballer who showed signs of improvement as the season progressed. We got a bargain there, and I just hope he can continue improving.

    i like mccann, but like ever, if he doesnt put man of the match performances in for each of his first 5 games hes automatically 'a **** player,' wot about settling in to a league which is much tougher than the 1 the he was in

    We have two central midfielders and they play all the seasons games.
