Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

I have not read anywhere that Tommy wants to leave,and pushing to go.Anybody got a link stating this or made up shit.
 

He was only 17 and had barely made a 1st team appearance when he signed his current contract. Since then he's seen many other young players like Rigg and Jobe offered improved contracts and has cemented his own place in the 1st team squad.

I'd say that he's entitled to at least ask the question about improved terms.
Surely it depends what those improved terms are? He could be making outrageous demands for a new deal. I’d be amazed if we weren’t open to improving his terms to cover our own arses anyway.

It would be a poor move for the lad to jump ship now. He’ll likely be back playing u21s for the rest of the season and loaned out next season if he went to Brighton.
 
There's a big if there though and it's more likely we won't be a Premier League team than we will be if we're going down the odds route.

Brighton, will 100% be a Premier League team next season - he's not going to Southampton or Ipswich.
He’s not going to play though, is he? You get better by playing games. It is one hell of a step up. When you get there, you want to be ready for it and stay there. The kid has only played a handful of games.

Of course the terms are important and he's not yet in a position to ask for top dollar, but he has certainly shown his potential.

We are probably the best club for him to be at and he is what we need, so it's a bit of a Mexican stand off.

His only chance of playing PL football next season is with us. If he goes to Brighton, he is behind Mitoma and Adingra, plus whomever else then bring in.
 
Brighton have been after Watson for the last few years so no surprise there are back in for him again
Nah you're wrong mate, Brighton simply wouldn't be interested in signing a good young player.
Apparently Tommy Watson, Danny Graham and Pascal Chimbonda have kidnapped Kyril's mam and are holding her hostage in Ian Harte's basement. They are demanding he is the top paid player at the club and gets a guaranteed start for England ahead of Harry Kane.

One of those names mentioned is actually watsons agent now.
 
All he has to do is look at the bloke he has been groomed to replace. A bloke who was a lot more established and went to a lower placed team btw. The grass isnt always greener as seen above. The fact he's one of ours is whats got people's goat. Chance to live his supposed dream and looks like he wants away at the first chance. Can see why its sticking in peoples throats.
If he wants to go, then let him go. we don't need or want people who have ethics or no staying power
