Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Nathan Gunn]

Im really pissed off about this, I want to direct my anger towards the club but it looks like they have done ok, to be honest. It's a long way from losing kids for pennies.

Agreed. Really frustrating to potentially lose an 18 year old lad without him getting a proper chance to do the business for us. But at the same time, it shows how far we've come from the days of selling promising kids for £250k under Donald

 

[Flavonoids]

You can see why any 18 year old would fancy a move to Brighton tbf. All of the trappings without the daily grief and attention.

And he can dress like a bejewelled hussar if he avails himself of all the lanes has to offer. Much more fun than playing football in front of a large and appreciative crowd.

 

[Wylie Coyote]

What on earth are you babbling on about? Everybody knew fine well he’s wanted away.

How do you know he wants away?

 

[YorkMackem]

He'll probably go straight on loan to someone in the Championship.

And ironically, SAFC would be first choice for anybody wanting their young players opportunities and development.

 

[Alfa]

If Downie is right I can see the attraction for Watson but I’d imagine Adringa would take some convincing.

If he feels unwanted at Brighton I’d imagine there’ll be clubs higher up the food chain willing to take him.

If it doesn’t go through because of that Watson won’t have made himself popular here

 

[Hyltons finest]

Frustrating to lose him, but if it’s a decent fee and he wants to leave then we can’t really complain

No chance we're able to pull that off, surely?

 

[Geras]

Neither have I. But 15 appearances this season in the PL and 35 the season before suggests he is.

Had a look at brightons forum and they think it’s pie in the sky.

One quoted

“Maybe they would like us to chick in Joao Pedro as well?”

Aye , and a scotch egg

 

[Mowgli]

How do you know he wants away?

Contract down to less than 18 months won't be the clubs choice.

And he will probably have a Brighton shirt on in 6 hours.

A real mystery

How do you know he wants away?

The club didn’t want him to go, he could quite of easy said he wanted to stay. He didn’t, he wanted to go.

 

[Coeus]

You're angry because you're not angry

Well, in a sense, but mainly im just pissed off that a very bright player is leaving, would be easier if I could point the blame but looks like they may have done ok with it.

i'm sure Speakman has texted Amad to drop him a message

Does he get daily grief and attention here?

 

[JL1985]

Brighton fans to see overly enthused by this. "Another player to farmed out on loan for 3 years to end up at Ipswich" was one quote.

 

[GBSAFC]

Not reading 30 pages, what's happening?

Watson goes South

We get a poundland amad ( maybe)

 

[scott934]

And ironically, SAFC would be first choice for anybody wanting their young players opportunities and development.

Aye although in this case we'd obviously prioritise our own young, talented right footed left winger.

 

[splorty]

A bit of pressure on the club now tbh.

If they lose Watson, people are going to expect some money to be reinvested and at least a replacement brought in on top of what was needed.

and it will be. We will only be letting him go if incomings are sorted…

 

[Scotty 1978]

Upside down head Hope is having us on here

No the club and the lad must have both had offers they can't refuse. Dont blame him to be honest once in a lifetime offer for him probably. Good luck to the lad
...if he goes.
