Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

95% of the discussion on this thread is founded on pure speculation. That's fair enough, but people taking speculation as fact and getting angry about it is utterly barmy.

Jumping ship so early is not a good look.

Or you could take the view that he's unproven, may never have achieved anything, and we've had Brighton's pants down. Hindsight might give us a better perspective on this one but at present I'm struggling to be massively arsed, when we seem to have a production line of talent like this and arguably a better player in front of him in Mundle.

All you Watson haters, just wait, in a few years time you will be bragging about him being a mackem when he is playing for England

Fair point but the chances of TW playing for England in the future are slim.JC is/was a much better player imo yet struggles to get game time in a team heading back to the championship.

Bit of a shithole ffs :lol: :lol:


The club aren't ambitious enough to keep up with players careers. These lads will think they're good enough for the premier league. And we want ambitious players like that, you have to accept players will move on unless you'd rather we'd full of cloggers

Aye but compare it to the Utopia of easington!

We’ve seen far better players than Watson plus Rigg sign contracts no bother in the last 12/18 month.

This is true but no one has any idea of what they offered them or Watson so isn’t really relevant is it

I think Watson has let Sunderland fans and RLB down for sure. Watson has some plans first team route and he decided to fuck off to Brighton. His head turns when that damn Harte brainwashed him.

Why would Harte brainwash him?

It's just a bit daft we could be playing premier League next season whilst they loan him to the championship

Or we could be playing in the championship and he could be playing in the premier league. We don’t know do we. I would guess that the most likely outcome is he ends up on loan in the championship/Europe but who knows

Been with us 12 yeas and fucks off at the 1st opportunity. Daft/greedy/0patients/ greedy parents/agent/zero loyalty

Not the first opportunity like. Also if any young players come to us does the same logic apply? Are they daft/greedy/greedy parents/bad agents and zero loyalty or is that only if they leave us

He's not getting near there team let's be honest
 
The bottom line is he wanted the same money as Rigg, we weren't prepared to pay it. He had a year on his contract, so we have gotten as much as possible. We will adopt the same principles with Cirkin and Neil at the end of the season. That is how the player market works.

He’s currently 2nd choice left wing for us, maybe 3rd if u count le fee. Brighton are a lot better stocked for wingers than we are. Surely he’s well down the pecking order for at least a couple of seasons.
