Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Hendon hotspurs]

Step down???

Apologise read it wrong

 

[Ilios]

its way too early to start on the drink...

We have clearly been a better side without Clarke (Watson and Mundle are both very good) and Ross Stewart has played about as many minutes for Southampton as Ali Dia did. So how was he wrong?

 

[Fetch Fletch]

I think the the difference with Neil and Cirkin if we are looking at this season is they are the best players in their positions, Watson isn't.

Not sure I agree tbh

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Who said they are? Nothing credible anywhere.

He’s a very credible journalist like

Doesn't say he's right

 

[Ayrton]

Be a shame to lose him this early, but if he wants too leave then goodbye, all the best

 

[FulwellViaLeeds]

He wants to play and feels he’s good enough but not getting the game time

id imagine if a big enough offer comes in for Neil we might be tempted

I can't remember anyone starting as much as he had up until his injury in their first proper season as a first teamer. He got his chance quite early and took it. Even Rigg had to wait until around March last season to actually establish himself.

Strange bloke you mind.

Stewart has managed a grand total of 141 mins this season and 81 in the whole of last season. Aye he would have made a massive difference.

why the edit? did you have to google that last part... strange bloke

 

[Safc_Number10]

£15m for a player that's only made a handful of starts isn't bad business tbf.

 

[chriswallace85]

Take the money. Grease the wheels of progress.



If he was black and/or foreign neeone'd bat an eye.

 

[Gaz]

They’ve been interested for a few windows reportedly. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen unless he’s offered / signs a new contract

 

[Madcap11]

Dont think he will go, massive talent and sunderland is the best route for young players coming through and play regular. I dont think he will go there to sit on the bench and play u21 regular all over again. He is just too good for that level, man.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Watson back in 10 days

Back to training. Won’t play for at least a month.

 

[halfpast3]

If the offer is good then let’s cash in, it’s what the club are about any way especially with more young talent coming through

Why’s everyone so keen to cash in on cracking young footballers who have a real link to our club. Surely these are the ones we want to hang onto the most

 

[Niz]

So what you saying, keep our best 11 and the rest are for sale?

No I am saying you can't compare Watson to them at the moment.

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

I wouldn't entertain this, fuck off Brighton

 

[ToneSAFC73]

He wants to play and feels he’s good enough but not getting the game time

id imagine if a big enough offer comes in for Neil we might be tempted

he will get less game time at Brighton unless he likes the u23's

 

[Niz]

Not sure I agree tbh

Thats fair!

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

This would be extremely disappointing if we lose him. I'm not sure he's done enough to allow us to get that big a fee.

 

[jarrowdiamond]

Watson is back in 10 days from injury

Appreciate you letting everyone know but this is the 3rd thread you've posted this
