Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)


The club want the money

Maybe they think that Mundle is better and they want the money to help strengthen elsewhere

Time will tell I guess
And that's it in a nut shell, the club need to sell at least one high profile player per- season just to stay where we are. Fans need to get used to it as we'll keep on selling our players off to the highest bidder one by one....
 
Absolutely no chance do we sell all 4..

For a start, I'm not sure who'd be coming in for Neil or cirkin

They'll more likely do what they did last year and offer Jobe around and cash in on him. They don't need to sell any more.

I think we'll take mepham on full time
If we don’t go up… things could easily change on promotion.

Neil, Cirkin, Watson all going into last 12 months and currently no sign of them agreeing new deals. We’re in a position where we currently have 3 Clarke/Stewart scenarios in the same summer. If they don’t sign, they’ll surely be sold.

Add to that Jobe will very likely be away.

Hope we get another year with Rigg but there’ll be a lot of interest

Not so sure we’ll be able to do a deal for Mepham in championship and obviously Le Fee would be away.

Patterson has been rumoured that he might leave this summer too. Although with Young not getting much game time, we might want to hold for another year.

Hume, Mundle, Mayenda will attract strong interest too although with time on contracts we’ve done well at saying no to deals. They’ll likely/hopefully stay.

This could be the first summer in a while where we do have a proper rebuild to do. Suppose we’d have £££££££ coming in though if we do

this gets said every single season. ''if we don't go up this season we'll need a whole new squad next season'' ... and it never happens (baring relegations)

neil won't go anywhere, unless a premier league team comes in for him which is doubtful at 23/24 years old

if we get big money for watson it would be daft not to sell as he isn't currently integral to the first 11.

patto and cirkin would be replacable, they aren't championship top 2 standard anyway

the most likely to leave is Jobe, which is fair enough as long as we get big money.

and they won't ALL go. it'll be one , or two max
 
All players are replaceable I guess . No way we will sell more than 2 or 3 so basically we will be doing what most clubs do .

Plenty other youngens coming through

We have three going into the last year of their contract's so I can see five going in the summer if we don’t get promoted

You can’t see it’s different this time?

Cirkin, Neil, Watson all into last 12 months. Do you see any of them signing a new deal in the summer in the Championship? (I’ve said if we go up then the scenario is different). We have THREE Clarke/Stewart scenarios in the same summer

It’s unlikely Jobe will have another season in the championship

I’ve said I’m hopeful we can keep Rigg for another year but even that isn’t a given

Mepham is unlikely if we don’t go up and we’ve no chance with Le Fee

I’d be very surprised if we only lose 1 or 2 this summer if we don’t go up.

The club have done well at turning down offers for players on longer contracts which gives more confidence on Hume, Mayenda, Mundle, Ballard. Who knows what the situation is with Patterson.

If we don’t go up and we sell five my concern is how much of the money we will reinvest
 
It won’t be sadly
Just to get it through to you.

Most in here recognise that Watson going to Brighton may well happen.

People are taking the piss out of the garbage that it’s part of the deal that he won’t play the last few games as part of that deal. Utter rubbish.
