Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[HettonSAFC]

The sheff utd game he tortured them. Av just said on another post a couldnt see mundell getting back in till he was injured.
Just cannot get me head round fans thinking getting shot of him is acceptable business and not questioning why a young local lad dosnt see his future here (if thats what narrative is put out).

We’re not getting shot of him. He clearly wants to go..,,,

 

[Rocky77]

The lad can't wait to get away from the club

Hes started about 4 games.

He's going to a very good club for young players who are guaranteed PL football next season. Alongside that we've got very good money for him. Just get behind the lad if he plays

 

[Mozza]

I’ve heard they don’t take hostages at that level

 

[joecphillips]

Agreed but our sole aim is to bring through and sell. A team stuffed with players to develop and sell. 10 (supposedly) mill for potential, we desperate for the coin like. Couldnt we develop him further. If he hadnt of got injured i couldnt see mundell getting back in

Develop him further and lose him for free, it’s a good thing you’re not running things.

 

[Blind Joe Death]

Shame. Two good feet. Good luck to the lad I suppose. Decent money considering the contract situation

 

[Whey]

Even though it's been expected since January people still kicking off at it

Yup, not really a massive shock is it. T'ra to the lad and that's it really. Giving an 18 year lad shit is f***ing pathetic

 

[Herberthall]

Aye let's flog mundle every game and hope he stays fit and sharp

That's down to Reggie who'll not rotate.........Aleksic?

 

[riffraff]

His effort since coming back has been shocking. To not put 100% in until he gets his move suggests a poor professional.

Tueartitus as it was known to my dad and his marras. Try in the cups and don’t in the league. Sorted.

 

[JL1985]

Just bizarre timing. I can't think of many announcements at this time of a season

Trent Alexander Arnold has all but announced he’s signing for Real Madrid this week.

 

[Raich Carter]

Probably our first victim of the lack of rotation from Reggie, sat behind mundle until mundle got injured. It’s a decent fee but Watson is absolutely quality.

 

[nelford_safc]

“Canny fee for someone that’s played 500 minutes” etc etc.

The club have invested 12 years into him ffs.

 

[Rocky77]

Would you want him walking up to take a pen in the play offs? I fuckin wouldn’t, he’d not give 1 fuck if he scored or missed.

I wouldn't want any of the fkers stepping up to take a penalty

 

[chriswallace85]

Hope he doesn't kick another ball for us.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Because he’s downed tools and fucked off with the most important stage of the season coming up. Just a thought

Has he? Pretty sure he's still our player until the season finishes? He's 18, if you want to give an 18 year old a load of shit for changing jobs you might want to have a word with yourself.

Looking at your posts, it doesn’t appear to have registered that he doesn’t want to play for Sunderland.

& to say if he hadn’t got injured he would have kept Mundle out of the team seems far fetched. Mundle is head & shoulders right now. How they develop as players is to be seen, but the fact that Watson didn’t want to sign a contract is point to all of this.

Mundle wants to play for Sunderland & is a better player.

 

[sofatester]

I was told this just before the deal fell through in January which I posted at the time
Been told he's getting a 10 percent of the transfer fee signing on fee from Brighton

 

[Mowgli]

I will but I can still think hes a bit of an arse and desperate to get away from the club since he turned 17. His effort has been woeful in recent weeks.

 

[chopsfc007]

4-3-3 you can rest Mundle is my point

Who do you play left? Alexic who he hasn't been prepared to play?

 

[chunksafc]

Trent Alexander Arnold has all but announced he’s signing for Real Madrid this week.

As his contract expires in June, thought Watsons was longer?

 

[Major]

Obviously not, by agreeing a transfer in April.

It’s irrelevant to when it’s announced, it does not mean we’re not pulling in the same direction. Player wanted to go, regardless of division.
