    Kind of similar to Rigg in the summer. Think he’s close to guaranteed starts next season potentially (dependant on league), maybe a bit rash/impatient. Trust the club with this one though.

    if you ask me the only way to guarantee playing time, then train and perform better than your competition.
    If you don't have enough faith in yourself to do that then why should the club and commit to guarantee you playing time

    Agreed. He (and us) were unlucky in a sense because it was his place to lose before injury. But 2 good games doesn’t earn you a place over a mundle who had been very good for 3 months. Don’t believe they were his demands personally but can see the attraction to Brighton.

    Not sure he’d even be a bench warmer there. Mind I know Jack **** about them, but he isn’t ready for it just yet

    Some all too quick to blame the lad here, he may well move on but it doesn’t mean he has agitated or forced the move. From that first Romano tweet it was obvious the club were going to continue negotiating and open to a sale - it’s been speculated his source is KLD himself.

    We only negotiate these sales if we have the right to believe the player isn’t going to sign a new deal or stay usually

    Ties in with what I said earlier about not being able to play them both… We can’t expect him to play second fiddle in the championship when he can to Brighton and do the same for much more money. Sell one and progress the other

    If Dodds goes good luck to him. Hope he'll be okay, as I don't think the top position suited him at all here, though I do see the differences.

    As for Watson, he obviously can't believe that he is deserving of an automatic place in the team, if that is the state of things. Even Ronaldo and Messi had to work up to that. The lad has shown up well mind, and I like him. But it's only a small number of games, and only a few of them good ones. I hope he stays, and he'll be better of doing that.

    Not horrendous considering he signed the deal at 17 and would at very least be in line to triple it if he signed a new deal after the handful of games he has played this season.

    Wouldn't get out of bed for that like

    Having said that, I'm pushing 50 and when I was 18 I earned £10 a week working in a carpet shop

    Brighton offered him more than triple that in the summer, imagine what they are offering now.

    Sorry he wants guaranteed playing time yet he’s moving to a club where he’ll get less playing time? Another lad being poorly advised.
