Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)


Boy, and he really is *boy*, going for a *significant* sum of money (given his age and appearances), and certain fans having a pop. I don't hate SAFC, but I fu**ing hate some of our fans

I've no problem with him going, I think most were expecting Brighton to come in again for him, but that news should have been for the summer, not whe we've got playoffs coming up. It's just puts a very unprofessional from the club and has caused a lot of negativity.

It's pretty f#cking shambolic tbh.
 
Jobe, Hume, Ballard, Patto, O'Nien, Cirkin, Alese have all signed new deals. Why did they see their futures here?
With the exception of jobe the rest will never go on to play for a bigger club due to being either injury prone or simply not as good as some seem to think.
 
Madness how an 18 year old Sunderland fan can push through a move in the tail end of the season with promotion on the line.

As for the club, announcing it now and inviting negativity is silly, just leave it until the season ends. Between this and the Seelt/Samed shit, seems were bordering on shooting ourselves in the foot...again. Its amazing how quickly stuff like this can snowball.

Anyhooo, in the case we dont go up...atleast it will help us fund new contracts for a few players.

Im not normally one to wish ill on anyone either, but if its true hes pushed for the move, then fuck him.

There’s usually a reason for things. Maybe he had some risqué photos of speakerz.
 
Got to be honest I think this kind of attitude is short sighted. He’s been offered a move to a Premier League club and at the moment we aren’t one. I’d rather he stay too but immediately hammering a player the second it’s announced is baffling.

He’s done next to nothing for us and decided to leave when we’re in the middle of a playoff battle.

Absolutely no loyalty to the club that have given him everything or his team mates.
 
All linked with moves away (bar O'Nien)
All signed new deals.
None of them have the potential to improve as Watson does and none of them would get a move like Watson has. Alese and Ballard dont even get a game for us never mind a prem team. There’s plenty reasons why players might stay/sign for SAFC but money isn’t one of them.
Jobe is the outlier but pretty obvious he’s going to bigger and better things.
