Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Bruce out]

18month left and he obviously wanted to go.

If 10m is true, seems like decent business, had a few good games but muddle keeps him out the team for me

 

[Charmless Man]

Call me a sad bastard but I hope Hume snaps him in half next training session and the lads go on to win the play offs.

I don’t. We likely stand to benefit from any future sale so I hope he does well.

 

[Escobar]

I’m not that arsed about him going tbh

 

[Dennis]

The majority of Brighton’s signings fail, a small margin make it. They sign shit loads of players and I highly doubt he’ll be the only young left winger they sign this summer.

This is a load of rubbish mind

 

[Whey]

Call me a sad bastard but I hope Hume snaps him in half next training session and the lads go on to win the play offs.

I mean if you insist because that is pathetic, mate.

I think there has to be a bigger picture here.
Perhaps the club are thinking selling Watson this year means we can hold on to Rigg or Jobe.
Hopefully it doesn’t mean we are desperate for the money / in any kind of trouble.

But from the outside it did seem that the club were very ok with this move going ahead on transfer deadline day.

It's absolutely irrelevant this mind jobe won't be here regardless

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

Maybe we get him straight back on loan?

Why would they loan him to be on our bench behind Mundle next season as he is this season

 

[Ned Land]

April’s fools

It has to be before mid-day iirc.

Logon or register to see this image

 

[houst69]

Good luck to him, a footballers career is very short

 

[JOEJA]

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

Yes but why is my point

 

[rubberface]

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.

That's your opinion, mine is different mate.

 

[nelford_safc]

It's absolutely irrelevant this mind jobs won't be here regardless

There is absolutely zero chance of his keeping hold of Jobe if some of the reported clubs are indeed in for him.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Brighton taking our players, what a time to be alive.

Que abuse from the happy brigade.

Cue

 

[Henry_Hill]

On the one hand ten million seems very good money for a player who’s played less than 20 first team games and not done all that much in them. On the other hand, he’s a young lad that has a lot of potential. Overall I just feel we sell our players a bit cheap - if someone like Bellingham, Rigg or Neil goes for less than £40 million this summer, we’re doing something wrong.

Nobody is paying close to £40m for Neil

 

[DC88]

Whatever we offered him would be nowhere near the amount Brighton have. Add to that Brighton’s excellent record for developing players and you have a very attractive proposition.

I agree with that mate definitely. Just disagree that we offer poor wages to players. Gets said every time a player leaves, but the fact most players are happy to extend says otherwise.

 

[Dan The Man]

He'll be out on loan next season whilst we are in the prem

Fuck him.

No he won’t

 

[Mboma]

Very very very strange ain’t it.

Are we going to start selling other players before the season ends????...why bother with a window at all???

It's just a bit idiotic, and very armature behaviour from the club when there's a very big few months coming up. Really unnecessary.

 

[rubberface]

Josh Robertson has barely played for their PL 2 side.

I know, just saying one of his best mates went to Brighton and could have been a feature.

 

[SAFCftm1986]

Speakmans comments means he’s pushed his move through. Take what you can get for someone who isn’t interested in staying. Crazy if it’s true - £10m for a handful of games + injury. Take that all day but should have announced at the end of the season.

 

[joecphillips]

The most spiteful post yet, well done

He got himself straight down there in January before a deal was announced, he’s wanted out why should I want anything else for him? It’s also pretty common that they go chasing the money end up in some premier league u21 team rather than getting 1st team minutes and do nothing else
