    Agreed, at the time. Players are human though and I think fans need to give them a bit of compassion sometimes. Don't fix an opinion and be be prepared / give players a chance to earn respect back. I've thought about posting this before but maybe Watson wouldn't have scored the winner without signing for Brighton early then committing to knuckle down in training to be able to contribute and change fans' opinions.

    See above! Tommy always had talent and you could see he's a good player imo.

    People should be looking at what he did do in the small number of games he played for us.

    Hopefully he goes on to do a Henderson rather than a Colback.

    1 game only I think. Even then the lad will have been going through it emotionally after everything. He stepped up last season a lot and is now in our folklore.

    This will cost more than Diarra. Our French pull might help here in a little excited

    Plenty said they didnt want him in the squad evet again. It was silly season really. We had an ill equipped Le Fee on left wing, as Mundle was out. Had Regis ostracised Watson and done what soms fans wanted we would almost certainly still be in the championship. When you have a quality player, you should play that player. Same as we did with Bellingham.

    The club are still working to the same rules in terms of recruitment, they've just scaled it up. This is the difference between spending big money in midfield and up front compared to defence imo.

    If Diarra has a good season or 2 at this level, he'll be a £50-60m sale.

    A £30m keeper or CB would have to look world class this year to go past £40m.

    Our future transfer business will rely on selling that one big player each season and reinvesting.

    Feels like to me they are just using us to push Bournemouth to pay the fee. They’ve already agreed terms with him

    Or qualifying for the CL, which is preferred

    I’m leaning towards 3 games where I’ve thought - is this lad for real? Doesn’t matter now though. Cheers Tommy, good luck

    They'd agreed terms with Zeze a month ago then nothing happened because they're being too specific about prices. Don't think it necessarily means anything regarding this deal either.

    Watched a few clips of ramsdale and he definitely has a personality our fans will get on board with, bit of a ****house and wind up merchant

    Still believe he’d be a good signing.
