Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)


Without sounding like the mags but this bit pissed me off

'understands the pull of a club like Brighton.'

If there was ever a sentence to highlight our demise it's that little sentence right there.
Wouldn’t worry about it…Smith is thick as a whale omelette
 
Our fans don't realise that Brighton owe their owner £400mill if he decides to pack it all in.....the model..what a load of shite man.

Not being funny but if our owner was covering costs with loans to club we'd owe him 40m already, how longs bloom been there?
 
I know that was being peddled as the crack with Rusyn like but no idea why this lad isn't getting any minutes at this point. Looks very talented and also looked bright the few times he's actually got on.

I don't myself mate. Football is a universal language, and in the games he's played in, he clearly has something to offer.

The only reason I can see why he's not getting a look in is him being too attack minded for Regis (unfortunately).

Agree, sometimes I scratch my head with Reggie like. He talks about players not ready etc then doesn’t give the lad any time to get ready. There’s been so many times in games where he could’ve been given 20 mins here and there and he’s just not given the lad any sniff. I’m not surprised he’s supposedly went to Reggie and had a word it doesn’t seem to matter who we play what the score is who’s out the lad just not been given a sniff.
 
How does making it public that your selling a player in April help us exactly?
I think the answer is obvious.

The player doesn’t want to stay and, if you watch our games, you can clearly see this in his lack of effort since coming back from injury.

The club are telling you why we won’t be playing him for the rest of the season.

It’s quite remarkable how little he obviously cares about the club he supposedly supports at such a crucial time of the season.
 
If we sell the players heavily linked away this summer we are looking at £100m+ in transfer fees, that’s my kind of model!
What a grim future we have, merely existing just to bring players through for the big boys. Can't get attached to any player as they'll be gone after a good season. Only the shite will remain and if we don't replace the goods ones then it makes the whole thing pointless
Think it highlights Brightons rise better personally.
And that, they were 4th division not long ago
 
I am just going to whinge about it o all the 'Have your say@ facebook groups.
Try Chi Onwurah first she great at raising key issues like this in parliament.

It’s not really it’s just a starting position, buy cheap and young develop them and sell for big profit which then allows you to buy better players who in theory will take you to the next level. Then when you are at the next level you buy better again and hopefully keep them but if you sell them they go for big bucks, done it loads of times on footy manager.

Shame we won't get to see him develop. Seems mad to me to leave your home town club from 6 years old after only a handful of games, but money talks.
The elephant in the room is that he really hasn't proved himself yet, its a big risk imo.
He became a millionaire by wiggling a pen for a few seconds. I’m sure we’d all like a bit of that.
