Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Arfa Sleep]

It won't have been 12m. It'll have been 4/5m plus about 3m in add ons that he'd probably never hit.

probably leaked it out as 12m to make us look like big dogs refusing the sell

To be fair even £5m for a lad who hasn't done anything is decent. See what happens with it.

 

[Peel Street Massif]

Spurs reportedly asking £15m for Solomon off Leeds..So thats the Watson money plus £3m . I'd do that deal and it shows whats available for the money if we want to spend it straight away .
If we can do similar realistic value deals for Jobe/Neal and plough it back in theres no reason why we cant easy be top two next year.

We are only getting 12 for Watson if he wins the Ballon D'or and 50 international caps! Be about half that guaranteed, With some sell on % and bonuses for individual milestones.

Expected really once their player turned us down in the final hours of deadline day, hopefully he can get his fitness up soon and play his part in getting the club promoted before he leaves.

 

[cluffy]

I’ll worry about this if it happens

 

[Big Duke Six]

He will be able to top up his perma tan down there.

Who turned us down? I’d missed that

Not much to worry about either way.

 

[allmagsaretossas]

If that's the case shouldn't be playing we don't need to put him in the shop window . Nurture our own

 

[rubberface]

There's alot more who are playing like they've got deals sorted for the summer at the minute. Won't even put a foot in when a 50/50 comes up

It was noticeably evident yesterday.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Simon Adingra apparently.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Already got his replacement in Poveda

 

[Alfies Hat]

I know I'm going to get shot down here, but.....
About three weeks ago a bloke at work who I've known for over ten years and have never talked football with him, didn't know he was even interested in football, said.
'I hear that ( frightened to name the club ) are signing a player called Rigg from Sunderland in the summer '

 

[Thornton]

Can’t lie I’d not bat an eye lid - unreal if we can get 12m

Same here. If so, we shouldn't play him. He won't be missed.

Good luck Tommy, blah blah blah.

May I hazard a guess at Newcastle?

You may.

 

[aupaalaves]

Decent deal for someone that has hardly played 1st team competitive matches.

He's alright. Direct, not great at heading, quite weak and lacks positional awareness IMO

Reinvest money on a couple of good players

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Wasn't there a load of hassle getting him to sign a pro deal? He seems like a little gonk tbh - get shot.

 

[ObserverPhil]

I have it on good authority that it’s deal done him heading to Brighton in the summer

I find that sad news

Good authority

Jobe will be done job too
£50m to spend on a new recruits

 

[chopsfc007]

Mundle is light years ahead of him and only 3 years older.

He won't even be starting games unless Mundle is unavailable.

We should have snapped Brighton's hands off at £12m in January.

3 years is a lot in football

Jobe will be done job too
£50m to spend on a new recruits

We would probably only spend 9or10 of that
