Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Whitburnmakem]

Bet is a picture of him signing a new contract with us by tomorrow it’s fools day

 

[Boring Old Man]

Timing is absolutely mental and benefits no-one. How many clubs announce signings outside of the window man?
Now if he does play (Mundle can’t be expected to play every minute of the remaining games) he’s going to have fans on his back and will likely look half arsed as he knows a move is coming.

Agree.
All I can think is that the papers have hold of it and it's a pre-emptive strike from the club?

It would be immensely daft to banish our only cover for Mundle out of spite.

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.

 

[InsomniacAttack]

Who gives a fuck man? He's had 2 good games for us

 

[rubberface]

No issues, player has wanted away, and I’m not sure this impacts us in anyway in the run in.

I find it staggering tbh, the timing.

 

[The soap powder]

Dont see any point in playing him at all now he is going and if he does anything wrong he will get pelters

10 million with 20% sell on may as well let him go in January

 

[HettonSAFC]

Le Fee is back this week.

Let’s hope he get played in his correct position…..

 

[rubberface]

If his performances since January are anything to go by we might as well not involve him for the remaining games, in hindsight we should have kept Aouchiche around as backup to Mundle instead

Adil isn't good enough.

 

[Steeeeeeed]

If they didn’t announce it, it would have been leaked anyway.

 

[socawarrior]

Surely April fools!

Doubling down on being an absolute sausage - I respect it

 

[Its Him Again]

Hope he fails . Don’t care what others think

 

[Major]

I find it staggering tbh, the timing.

Does it matter? Does it change anything? He was always away, and whether it’s announced now or the end of the season. It’ll have been agreed and set regardless

 

[Hetty]

He'll end up like Josh Robertson

 

[LondonMackem]

It won’t damage their budget so they won’t care but he’s worth half that max, the rest is potential. No doubt they’re a great location for him, and if he can kick on he’ll do it somewhere like Brighton IMO. I wish him the best. Good deal for both clubs and player.

I would love to know what rattles around in your heid.

 

[mackemglastoid]

Hope it's comfy for the lad on Brighton's bench.

I agree but he’s certainly “cover” for the left hand side.

I suppose its the same as having him on loan? The deal will be signed and done now. I really think the timing of this is bizarre, but i guess if he does play and did get injured he still gets his move as its all sealed?
