Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[halfpast3]

He obviously doesn't want to be here. Let him go if he wants. Did you take notice of what happened in the January window? Love a "So" response.

How does he obviously not want to be here? I agree if he wants to go then let him go, as long as we get the fee we want. In the meantime he is contracted to us so use him as he is our player and has not been a nob about any of this ( not publicly anyway)

Yes but there’s a difference between the club ‘wanting’ to sell or not. The club don’t want to sell, but understand if we get their asking price they will.

Part of us signing talented youngsters and keeping our own on longer contracts is us telling them we won’t stand on their way if a better opportunity comes up.

He's under contract so they don't have to sell, they are choosing to sell to the highest bidder....

 

[Arfa Sleep]

The few games preceding his injury, particularly that first half performance against Sheff Utd, would suggest yes.

So a few decent games and he's one of the best, interesting and potentially telling.

Yet you still can’t distinguish between the ‘want’.

Also, they technically do have to sell, otherwise we won’t get a penny for him when his contract does end in that case.

Decent player,but id take £8 million all day long.

 

[rubberface]

The lads a cracking player man

Mad how people are saying he's shite. He tore Sheff Utd apart down there. He's been out ages, still a young kid. He is a tremendous prospect.

He's currently contracted to the end of the summer 2026, so like I said they don't have to sell they are choosing to, Plus they would still get a fee for him at a tribunal (because of his age) if the two clubs couldn't agree a fee..

We would receive money if he leaves at the end of his contract

Mad how people are saying he's shite. He tore Sheff Utd apart down there. He's been out ages, still a young kid. He is a tremendous prospect.

No he’s had 2 iffy half games on the back of a long spell out so he must be shite. In an ideal world he stays , he has bags of talent

Staggering that people think he is shyte, don’t understand how anyone with the remotest knowledge of football would have that view, maybe PL Brighton have a different view, I know I have the lad has a tremendous amount of ability he is a kid and someone is prepared to pay several million for him…. But he is shyte yeah whatever!! He will be a big loss.

 

[Ulster Black Cat]

I know he is only coming back to fitness but in his two appearances he has looked as if his mind is in other places.

Nowhere near £12m. We’d most likely get £1m or so.

 

[JERUDONG No.10]

Genuinely - how many good games has he had? I can only recall 2. The others I’ve watched him in he looks lightweight and has terrible defensive discipline. Mundle is way way better.

Only if he goes abroad I think.

Agree it won’t be 12m but would be miles higher than 1m in my opinion based on what the criteria is and previous cases

 

[Mboma]

Wouldn't be surprised to see him sign for Brighton and then get loaned out. He's a good prospect, but he's not ready for Premier League football yet.

 

[Bailes]

if he wants away then get the best money possible

 

[vote quimby]

aye but think of all that lovely lolly there mate, sellons anarl

Bang on there double G imo

You could see the quality he had just before he got injured. He was getting right into his groove. Quality player.

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Hope we get him on loan next year..

Sounds like the summer could be quite the rebuild this year, Bellingham is a certainty and Rigg surely to follow. Plenty of interest in others too..
