Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Roker Mackem]

Looking like we are willing to flog him.

Proper gamble this one, not convinced at all by this

Source?

 

[richest]

whatever the sub 3 mill fee it is, there will be hall on as its too cheap

We only wanted a loan deal.

Not what I read. We were willing to buy him in January, but he wanted to go to Sheffield Utd. (I'd guess we'd have struggled to match that fee)

£2m I’d be annoyed if we only got £2m for Bennette.

Let him go for free in 18 months time if that’s the case.

 

[darius]

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.

Exactly that - £2m is nowt these days

I'm petty though so I'd be a terrible chairman and let people rot in the reserves if they forced a move for pennies

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

We should bid £2m for Van Hecke just to show them we can all play silly games.

 

[cluffy]

Dr Evil making the offers??

Wish I had £2 million in my account

Aye, or Mitoma.

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

People panicking at 2 million We turned down that in the last window and have turned down higher bids so keep calm lads and lasses.

 

[KGC83]

For the sake of a few million quid I would let his contract run out and let a tribunal set the fee.

I’ve got a feeling Watson has told the club he’s not signing a contract regardless, just seems funny the club seem resigned to him going.

 

[YorkMackem]

£2m is a derisory offer and the club should feel insulted by it and state as much publicly

If that is the case I would expect the departure statement from Speakman to say as much

 

[halfpast3]

Just for comparison as well we got 1.5m quid off them for a player in the youth team who hadn’t signed a pro deal and had played about 20 mins for the u21. No way they are coming in with 2m quid like

 

[Ducktales]

18 months is long enough at his age. I'm 48 not 8 and my mind hasn't changed how I'd be. Each to their own

yeah we should’ve just let Rigg and Jobe get down to 18 months as well, that would’ve been smart business.

 

[billybobmackem2312]

2m they can have Ba for that

 

[southstander]

Watson seemed to enjoy playing first team football. No way is he starting for Brighton for a while. Not sure why he wouldn’t build his career with us and learn a lesson from Jack Clarke

 

[KGC83]

I just think it’s strange we’ve had no bother agreeing contracts with Ballard, Jobe, Hume, Cirkin and even Rigg last year but the sounds coming out the club about Watson are that it looks like he’s going.

Exactly - we are obviously handing out acceptable contracts so if he doesn't want to stay then that's on him
