Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Boris Bear]

He works for a company that’s registered

Doesn’t matter…the office tea lady is not registered either

 

[safc_stevo]

I remember watching him in a recent game for u21s on YouTube and he just seemed to refuse to pass to any of the other players..just wanted to fluff chances himself and eventually was taken off. Could tell something didn't seem right then looking back at the game.

Brighton won’t be sticking him in the first team next August man. They make their money recruiting cheap, nurturing and selling on and not just players either. Head coaches, coaches, physios, club secretaries, club solicitors, club accountants, translators etc etc. They’re all up for grabs at a cost in Sussex by the sea.

How does that conflict with my post? It may be better for us than them - it may not. We shall see.

 

[bankofengland]

They haven’t thus far

That's simply untrue

 

[AyeAyeAye]

Good fee considering he's barely played. Shame at the same time cause he's clearly got big potential. It'll put us in a stronger position to turn down offers for the likes of Rigg etc.

He's not getting in ahead of Mundle at this moment in time as well.

What is the fee?

 

[wilki]

Unfortunately he wont be the last

 

[Boris Bear]

Nope

The lad has been here since he was 6 years old. The club have given him the chance he dreamed of and he’s pushed himself away at the first opportunity. He can get fucked.

I mean it 100% isn’t the first opportunity like.

Fair enough, but I am genuinely pissed off with this. I don't see any PL club so persistent as Brighton have been in trying to prise anyone else from us. Really thought the kid had a good couple of years ahead of him with us. We are presumably grateful for £10million - that is small change to Brighton. How the football world has changed.

We’ve been paddling in the shallow end while it’s done so. If transfermarkt is right, he’ll be our fifth biggest sale.

 

[the dude]

What is the fee?

Nowt confirmed (probably never will be) but reliable journalists are reporting around £10mill plus a significant sell on.

 

[AyeAyeAye]

What an absolute state the club is in, shows our intent. I wonder what the desperate need for cash is right now?

What an absolute state the club is in.

For selling a play who's played 15 game's who got 18 months on his contract and who doesn't want to be here for 10 million ? Have a word with your self would you

 

[The Pallid Knight]

Would have liked to see him develop more as we could use some more stability at the LW position, but I don't mind the fee we received for him

Important to note that sunderland has tried to get an extension done with him and they've had issues, he didn't want to be here.

 

[stubber]

Adios Tom Watson, we will get way less than his market value too given the club still live in 2005 when it comes to player valuations.

We’ve buckled like a cheap wheel.

 

[bankofengland]

Nope

So you're telling me we haven't invested the money from Clarke and Stewart then?

I suspect we hadn’t anticipated needing to fund the staff canteen for the extra playoffs weeks.

For selling 26million worth of players and spending a quarter of that

Founders fit out?
