Winter transfer window

I think we did pretty well out of poor old Ross Stewart.

 

Apparently last year when there was rumours of him going to Brighton his girlfriend was all for the move and ready to go but we rejected it

 

But as Watson is injured he won’t pass a medical

 

Yes he will

 

Like daughter like Father then

 

Don’t think his parents want him to go yet

 

Porto have a bid rejected for Hayden Hackney of Boro

 

I don't think the timing is right on a Watson deal, but we won't always get to choose the timing. We just have to make the best choice that's right for everyone.

Whilst I'd love to see Watson develop here over the next 3 or 4 years, there's no doubt in my mind that my (hypothetical and probably unrealistic) suggestions would leave us comfortably strongly.

That is ultimately what the whole ethos of the club is about for us. Develop players, give them an opportunity and when they decide to move, get the best deal and reinvest wisely to strengthen overall.

We also have to be honest - whilst we're loving the idea of having Mundle and Watson as competition on the left, the best thing for both of them is to play every week and when fully fit, one of them won't be happy to be regularly on the bench for too long.

 

They can sign her instead then

 

Or his agent is

 

One thing im not a fan of is selling our long term prospects and replacing them with loans mind. Fair enough if they are with an option to buy

we also need to take their eyes our if he goes. Hooefully he doesnt anyway

 

I wouldn't be selling any of our assets in this window. If we manage to get promoted we'll probably get at least another year out of all of them and be able to sell for far great fees after they've got a year of Premier League experience.

 

As the man wearing orthopedic shoes said, I stand corrected.

 

I guess as far as Watson goes....things go on behind closed doors which we are not privy to...and I bet the club will look at the bigger picture, not just the here and now. I don't want the lad to leave, but if the club feel it benefits the squad in the short, medium and long term...then so be it

 

Poor lass had already planned their commute from London by the sounds of it

 

This could be a major factor, particularly as he has 2 younger brothers in the academy, where they hope to follow in his tracks. The club will do what is right by the player and themselves.

 

Who's is his agent? Dare I make a guess?

 

Everyone is saying it isnt Harte, but I havnt seen anyone say who it is

 

I think Watson could become a major asset, so if he's happy to stay I would keep him and look to extending his contract here.

What is noticeable is that the likes of Brighton and Forest have been sniffing around Watson, so they must see something in him that they can develop. I haven't seen any such interest expressed in Mundle. So that may confirm that Watson has the greater upside and should be encouraged to remain here.

I hope he stays if he does express the will to continue his development here.

 

I think the only way Watson goes, is if he's asked to leave.
