Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Baz]

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

I edited it because I missed that bit out, that's what the edit button is for, it's no secret.

Still going to ignore facts though to suit your narrative

Thats fair!

Mundle had a great start but he tailed off badly. I’ve always been a massive fan of Watson though.

 

[horselover]

Back to training. Won’t play for us again

Tidied

Cracking way to get the contract you want. #just #saying

 

[ScottDuffman]

If Brighton lose Mitoma for 90m+, we should absolutely rinse them if they want Watson. Why would we sell? 18 months on contract is not exactly an emergency when we could be in the Premier League ourselves next year. Unless it's an obscene fee, we have no reason to sell.

 

[Yeltas]

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

It’s not the fans, it’s the club model (if that’s what you call it)

 

[Julio Mackemo]

From RLB's lack of a response, sounds like he could be off

So am I, his ceiling is higher than Mundle. The worrying thing is Brighton is the best place to go for him if he was to leave.

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

Got to get the posts up.

Would be very disappointed if he went.I think of all the younguns coming through he has the potential to be the most exiting.This is why we must push on to try to get promotion to give us a chance of keeping these special kids.

It is indeed, which is why this is a good test. I also think a few have assumed the worst far too quickly.

Surely his path his blocked by Mitoma at Brighton though - unless the Saudis havent really given up

Perhaps do a swap Mitoma and 10 million should do it

He only played 15 games. In that 15 games he got 4 goals and 3 assists. We've missed him and Watson, and done well to keep up at the top without them.

If the lad wants to go let him .
It is great that our players are wanted .

I would be surprised if we sold him, unless he really wanted to leave and was not going to sign a contract

 

[Sir dave]

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.

Brighton buying a CB from Derby County for £10 million plus so that should be the starting point

Exactly. I think we’d been without a driving seat for so long people don’t see when we’re in it.

 

[Wakoro]

He's easily the best prospect we have in my eyes. Been watching him right through the youths and he has the full package. He'll be a premier league and England international star in the next few years. I'm gutted he's away without us getting a chance to see him play for a couple of seasons.

Did he? Had a really nice assist in the game he got injured in and scored an absolute beauty to win the game against Luton a couple of games prior.

They're both very good young players at Championship level. I'd keep them both.

Would he say he expects him to be back in 10 days if he thought he'd be playing for Brighton by then?

Don't believe anything until you see it from a clubs official account imo. I'm sure there's interest, he's a talented young player, but no point getting worked up over something that might never have been close to happening.
