Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[bankofengland]

And what should I say to myself?

That's you're talking out your arse

 

[AyeAyeAye]

Aye we sit 4th with a squad of young talent worth near 100 million
Others coming through the under 21s -in fact 17 year olds paying up three years
Nightmare times at safc !
Think I will bail out after 60 plus years of supporting the heroes
Never had it so bad

Doesn’t matter what the squad is worth if we’re not successful does it?

 

[halfpast3]

Didn’t realise Harte was his agent the leach. We should stay away from his lot in future

He’s not for about the 1000th time

 

[EternallySAFC]

I never said he is taking money out of the club (yet)…the club is making a loss and he has taken out a loan facility secured against the stadium to cover it, rather than converting debt to equity (which he is allowed to do)

I thought you said the money wouldn't be reinvested? If the owner isn't taking money out then is it not all being reinvested.

 

[cluffy]

It’s a good deal for the club

Maybe.
Just don’t understand why he’s so desperate to leave?

 

[AyeAyeAye]

Not sure what the club are supposed to do if the player is not willing to extend their contract? The club is a business at the end of the day and players are commodities. Why let him leave as a free agent? The club have invested in the lad and now will get a return on their investment. Makes perfect sense

And we don’t care about success on the field and that return will help us succeed?

 

[The Good Sir]

No way he can be selected now
Stick him in the reserves

Training with them only. Shouldn't be taking the place of any youngsters in the 21s who actually want to play for the club

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

It’s a good deal for the club

We are at a stage of risking 1 to 3 million on youngsters hopefully making it for a profit down the line. Brighton are a t a stage of risking 10 million on a young player making it and making them a profit down the line in the same way when they sell players for big sums to Chelsea like they have

 

[Fact Hunt]

Now you're simply just making things up we've spent the majority of the 25 million we got from stewart and clarke

Don’t bother, he/she is a wind-up merchant and doesn’t even go to our matches

 

[Binxy]

Occasionally? We’ve flogged out best player the last 3 seasons now a lad on the up.

I really cant see us getting promotion under this regime at all.

Stewart - gone
Clarke - gone
Watson - gone

In the summer it will be Jobe, Rigg or both.

Sell, Sell, Sell........

Watson to score winner at Wembley from the bench vs Leeds in the 97th minute to a chorus of boos

 

[Boris Bear]

I thought you said the money wouldn't be reinvested? If the owner isn't taking money out then is it not all being reinvested.

It’s paying for his ownership while the value of his asset increases and he invests nothing whatsoever

 

[Richie K]

Wonder if this will allow us to get someone like Dann in on loan from Liverpool? Exciting times!

 

[AyeAyeAye]

That's you're talking out your arse

Not an intelligent reply. Is that an indication of your IQ? Or tell me which part of my comment you don’t agree with.

 

[Pudding]

I think he’s very good. Disappointed he’s gone. Absolutely amazed kids like this are listening to people like Danny Graham and they’re still making huge money. Criminal.

 

[Keith S30S]

By getting some desperately needed cash? There's been talk of getting loans etc. So it seems to me they thought it may as well go through now. Our owners don't seem to want to put more of their own money it at the moment.

We've lost about £17M over the past 2 sets of accounts! Hardly any team makes money in the Championship.

[Alfies Hat]

Not a chance mate. Hes 18 and only played 20 games. He will be on less than 10k a week and probably closer to £5k.

They're paying £10 Million for him.
There's no way he'll be getting only £5000 per week.
Closer to the suggested £40000.

 

[Pudding]

No me either right now. Can understand that a big signing on fee is life changing, but I’d imagine he could quite easily get a four year deal from us which would be equally as life changing.
Or we’re not wanting to offer him anything decent.

The fact you think the club is in "a state" because we've sold a player who's hardly played and who doesn't want to play for us for 10 million
