Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Scotty 1978]

Jack Clarke is not coming here on loan man

It’s mental people used to go on like this with Amad at the end of every transfer window

Caicedo plays for Chelsea, and Watson is following other clubs.

He's still going mind, but that screenshot doesn't prove owt.

He’s also following Sketchers and guess who owns them?

 

[SAFC Wilks]

It'll be closer to half that amount.

Didn’t we reject £10m yesterday?

£12m + add ons + sell on clause imo.

f***ing joke

 

[Blyth]

It’s a sad day he leaves. I feel cheated that we’ve only got to see him play a few times.

Hope the lad smashes it tho. All the best.

 

[Gaz]

Hopefully a good fee with add ons / sell on clause

 

[wrighty]

Not sure what you want the club to do in this situation.

Obviously we don’t know for certain, but we can’t force him to sign a new deal. At that point the club need to then try and get as much money as possible for him. £12m was rumoured to be rejected yesterday, so if they’ve come back with say £14/15m, it’s a hell of a lot for an 18 year old with 5 senior starts to his name, who could leave for a nominal fee next summer.

It’s frustrating as fans as we were all looking forward to his development as he’s looked very, very good when he’s played.

Not as if it’s just Sunderland would sell in this situation is it?

We’re going to have it about Tommy Watson for the next 10 years ‘bring him back on loan’

I can't get my head around Watson's thinking from an appearances point of view, I really can't.

The contract might set him up for life, but could also ruin his prospects.

 

[Sir dave]

This is down to the club no one else Tommy Watson contract should have been sorted out in the summer

 

[ned_werby]

£12m? Take their hands off.

 

[Nathan Gunn]

On a more positive side, hopefully this gives us some more wriggle room to get deals done today....

[Coeus]

FFS.

 

[LurkerSB]

If we've got a similar fee for what we got for Clarke for him then that's mental business by the club imo. If he's not signing a contract nows our best chance to get a good deal out of him. No issue with it imo.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

He's barely been available for selection since he broke through man

He’s also not first choice ahead of Mundle when both are fit.

Best of luck to him like.

At least we didnt get too attached like Amad, Clarke, Pickford etc

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Less of the name calling ffs he’s a young lad chasing a dream. f***ing nasty twats.

 

[Ned Land]

Sums up the state of football when we can only enjoy one of our players who we’ve developed for years for less than ten games.

It’s happened before. Crewe Alexandra used to churn out players, Liverpool amongst others spent a relative fortune on teenagers who never really made it in the top flight.

No idea. His value to us here is mostly based on potential. His value at Brighton is mostly based on potential and they just have more money. He's also injured right now.

I wish the lad well. Over to Speakman and co. to use the funds wisely. I think it needs to be spent today because we desperately need help up front.
