Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)


Would drastically reduce our chances of promotion if we sold him, but hey KLD is only interested in "sustainability" so it's a massive win for him. We are simply just a development club now, the owner has no interest in competing in higher division.
Can’t blame KLD if Watson goes. What do you do with a player with 18 months left and wont sign a new contract?
 
We have Mundle, Le Fee covers left wing and a decent fee will help us keep other assets. Clarke back on loan as well maybe. Would be tempted by this.
 
If the offer is good then let’s cash in, it’s what the club are about any way especially with more young talent coming through
 
Wouldn't be so sure, i always feel we get fucked that way - other clubs seem to get fair compensation.
Can't remember us ever going to tribunal.

When Donald and Methven were offering about our youth players they were agreeing any fee they could get.

And at least we had a bit backbone with Cotcher. We let him sit without playing for a year until a club paid our asking price for him.
 
The kid should stay if we are happy not to take the coin. He won't play for Brightons first team this season if he goes....but of course, Ian Harte again.
 
Big few days for the club tbh.

I expected us to really go and bring in 2 or 3 quality additions to have a go at promotion and so far we've managed 1. Seems like they don't want to spend any money upfront in fees atm and are into this obligation of promoted stuff that isn't very attractive to clubs.

Losing Watson would be another kick in the balls really for what will inevitably be a low fee. Feels like the club are once again worried about a contract running down and getting less money for players.
