Winter transfer window

Mitoma replacement of course, I expect all of that 90m of saudi money

 

The mitoma deal is off

 

Wonder if we've slipped up, or Watson has developed ahead of schedule?

 

Could only sign a 3 year deal when he did. In an ideal world we’d have given him a 5 year deal in the summer but prem clubs were sniffing then and he may not have wanted to sign

 

Ian Harte strikes again

 

Or were getting a good chunk of money that we couldn’t turn down?

If he goes, shame to lose him.

but if he goes SURELY this means

 

Wouldn’t really begrudge any of our players a Prem move but I’d like to think we’re in a position to keep players like Watson.

 

If Brighton are knocking back £90m bids for Mitoma, they can start the bidding for Watson at £25m, with a hefty sell-on clause. **** them

 

top fee and soon to be 28 years old surprising they aren’t selling

 

Oh foxtrot Oscar I forgot he was his agent

what a Charlie hotel uniform Tango he is

 

we were kinda screwed by the rules that you can only give a 17 year old a 3 year deal. We’ll be in the same position with Rigg in a year, unless we can get him to renew

 

He’s not.

but he’s dating his daughter

 

That isn’t his agent

 

Definitely feels like we're in a spot to ask for 8 figures (whether they pay it or not is another matter), Brighton are absolutely loaded to be fair

 

Would be disappointed to see Watson leave so soon. Would want a decent fee to even consider it.

 

maybe we could if we’re selling Watson

 

Swap deal for Ferguson aye

 

The latter still stands

 

Doubt we'd get both as we seem to be looking at loans with an obligation in the summer. That would mean we'd have to leave one of our 6 loan players out of a match day squad. So unless one of these is a permanent signing or we manage to do a deal to sign one of the players already on loan early we won't get both.

 

£5m for Watson now rather than the summer might help us invest in a player that can impact better now. Can see why we’d sell.
