With Andy Williams being one of the stars of the Raggae Boyz, why isn't he starting on a EPL team? Do you think he is good enough?

Of course he is good enough. He is better than some of the players i've seen play in the epl.
Fuller is also another player who i believe is more than good enough to play in the epl.
GOD BLESS

Is this the Andy Williams who plays for the Chicago Fire, or is there an alternate-universe Andy Williams who's actually good?

Andy Williams has bounced around between so many MLS teams-- Chicago, New England, Miami and the MetroStars all spring to mind, and in no particular order-- that I don't think he can get a trial in the English top-flight anytime soon.
In Division One, maybe. Outside shot at best. But not the Premiership, unless his agent knows people who know people.

I would recommend that Andy starts out a Div1 team and get used to the pace of the English game. I know Andy have the skills to play anywhere but he needs the workrate to make it in the EPL.
It takes a while to get used to the EPL and its pace and I think that Andy would be better off with a Div1 club that will play him. In the EPL they can't afford to have their midfielder be a defensive liability as its all about keeping possession.
I have been watching Andy from he was a little youth and the worst thing he ever did was turn down an offer from Sau Paulo youth team. If he had taken that offer right now he would have been in Europe.
Andy has the skills but Div1 is best for him right now

I think if Andy had a better attitude and was more focused he could probably play in the EPL. I think it would be wise for him to start out in Division 1.

Since Andy Williams is about as good as Jovan Kirovski, he can play in the EPL ... at least once in a while.

don't they say that EPL is fast paced, but Division 1* is lightening pace....even faster than EPL, but obviously less ball control ??
Good Luck andy

from what I've seen on his good days he's good enough but he's so inconsistent that I can't imagine him nailing down a regular Premier spot

Emre you do have a point, I guess then the fact that he would face less competition for a starting position in D1 would be in his favor. If he goes to a EPL team it would have to be a mid to bottom level team for him to get game and if he does those teams are always in relegation dogfights so every point is important.
You are right though D1 is no joke as teams are fighting like dogs to go up to the EPL. I hear its very very competitive there. Then again they are a lot of internationals there so it should be
