Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

We all want the strongest squad to give us the best chance to turning things around and making top 2. If that doesn’t work we are all but guaranteed play offs so again need our best squad.

But as with all decent players potentially being sold this forum argues vehemently the logic with why players would stay. Going to a top 10 PL club, getting a long term contract on a huge pay rise, it’s a huge thing for the lad. And of course we’d get a lot of money that could be reinvested and we’ll negotiate a sell on clause. We all need to get used to the club selling good players in the coming months and years, if we are it means we could be doing well. Just look at Brighton and the players that they’ve sold, this forum would have been in meltdown so many times if we’d have sold those players but they’ve done amazingly because of that.

How would people react to selling Watson but him being loaned back for the rest of the season? If we don’t do a deal now and he’s with us to the summer he could then just decide to run his contract down being only a year out. We can’t afford to lose decent players for free transfers.

No thanks, Iam looking forward not back. If he doesn’t want to stay he should go but know he’s stunting his career if he does.

Bellingham and Riggs family know that hopefully his does to

It was only £10m if we got promoted to the PL. It should be blindingly obvious to you by now that KLD doesn't want to spend a single penny on transfer fees unless he has PL money to fall back on. We are a club going nowhere and will be in this division for years.

Hey back off fella 😁 I was offering a thought on a specific deal not an in depth study of the owners behaviour

If he goes it'll be because the player is pushing for a move.

There was something a little off in some of his post match interviews when he was playing about some frustrations with not playing more.

Could have been nothing in it but I agree this does certainly seem more player led than is pushing him out.

Did we not turn down £3 million from Brighton in the summer take no notice of the £2 million price that’s come from the echo

2/3/4/5m doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, if we sell for that price we must be desperate for money.

If we don’t go up we will need Watson next season. We couldn’t replace him for £4 or 5 million
