• Been a very well-run football club for well over a decade
• Good progression/assimilation into first-team football – quicker than many of the 'big' clubs
• They seem to 'coach' players up – many have gone onto bigger things elsewhere
• Location (it's a lovely part of the UK to live in)
• Established PL club
• Can offer PL wages
• Regularly can offer European football (not every season, but they are there or thereabouts)

NB This list isn't exhaustive

But that’s just your opinion. Maybe the advice he is getting is really good. Maybe he thinks Brighton is a better place for his development. Maybe it it shows he has massive confidence in himself and he thinks he can go there and get into the first team really really quickly.

Of course it's just my opinion, I am not claiming to be Watson. This is a forum for sharing our opinions...

There is no right answer, only time will tell if his decision was correct or not, but in my opinion he's better off staying put for now.

Once in their 122 year history (2022/23)
 
Watson is a very good prospect but that's all he is at this point. Id like to keep him but if he wants away and won't sign a contract can't blame the club for trying to maximise what they can get for him.

If it's 12 mill
20+% sell on
Somehow managed to pull the Adingra loan off then we will have done very well imo

It’s not £12m it’s £8m + add ons

So at the end of the season we’re still a winger short.

Mepham
Le fee
Adingara
Samed
Danns

That’s a lot of loan players to lose, plus expect to lose Jobe and rigg.

Haven’t even signed 2 of them and you’re already worried about losing them :lol:
