Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)


The majority of Brighton’s signings fail, a small margin make it. They sign shit loads of players and I highly doubt he’ll be the only young left winger they sign this summer.

That's only part of it though. We buy for 1 mill then sell for 10. Which allows us to start buying for 5 and selling for 20.

Our approach is not to keep buying on the cheap and sell. It's to grow organically.

A get the principle but its pie in the sky imo. At what point will we be paying fees to compete, 4 year from now?
Currently couldnt compete with others in our league on not megga amounts and would rather go for young loans (injured was just shit luck a suppose). Cannon hasnt set the world alight but it gave the others at sheff u a kick up the arse. Theyll win the league on the back of it.

Hasn’t even waited to see if we get promoted!? Very odd timing

I think there has to be a bigger picture here.
Perhaps the club are thinking selling Watson this year means we can hold on to Rigg or Jobe.
Hopefully it doesn’t mean we are desperate for the money / in any kind of trouble.

But from the outside it did seem that the club were very ok with this move going ahead on transfer deadline day.
 
Really not bothered by this - take the money and avoid players with Ian Harte as an agent. Watson has had one good first team game.

He’ll be on loan lower down the Championship than we are now within a year or two
 
That's just a bit bizarre coming out with this news in public at this stage of the season. I'm sure a lot of deals get shaken on before the window opens, but they don't get publicised before the season ends.

Congratulations to the club for creating some negativity when it really wasn't necessary.

Think he’s Huggins agent or was, wasn’t there something that came out saying he didn’t even hold a license?

If we offered shite wages then why have the majority of the first team signed contract extensions with no fuss? Jobe, Hume, Ballard, Roberts, Rigg etc. Stewart and Watson have rejected and we’ve got good fees for both.

Whatever we offered him would be nowhere near the amount Brighton have. Add to that Brighton’s excellent record for developing players and you have a very attractive proposition.
