I don’t think he’d be a starter here. He’d basically be replacing Neil if anyone. In June I would have been delighted but not now.
Have you used Project BigMan yet ?
I'm not sure that's a good name, it might draw some unwanted attention and questions. And possibly some curious looks from colleagues...
of course not, but it’s enough for the coaching staff to assess how well the players are combining. Otherwise what’s the point in training at all?
Sounds like he has a very bad agent.
Whatever he was offered by Saudi, if anything, will not be on offer if he hasn't got a club. I like him but he is a good functional player with a goal in him, not a glamour signing, and the Saudis are pulling their horns in a bit.
If it is really true that this player turned down even £50k never mind double that, he is either wildly deluded or extremely ill advised.
He had an excellent season but at championship level. His premier league record isn’t great, a goal every 18 appearances. He’s evidently believed his own hype. Saudi will probably rescue his situation with money if not prestige but it’s a bit of a shame.
He obviously thinks we shouldn't try to avoid relegation...

Just a really outdated opinion, unfortunately. It's a romantic idea that you can keep the same team that got you promoted and "give them a year" in the Premier League but the reality is that simply doesn't work in the modern game. The gap between the Championship and EPL is far too large now. Blame Sky and the ridiculous money involved but it's simply a fact.
If you give Championship players, even the very best Championship players, a year in the Prem, they will get relegated 100% of the time. Just look at the last 2 seasons.
The squad that got us promoted would’ve struggled to get 10 points in the PL. It was vital we changed the majority of it.

Think the lad is going all the way to the top
Still plenty to prove for me but he’s had a canny start. Delighted with the deal we got for him
Still gutted such a small part of that journey was with us!
Would've been nice to see what he could've done with a year in the prem with us. Think his mind was made up in the earlier January window though
What a way to sign off with us though. It would have been great to see more of Watson here but he still played that enormous part in our journey.

I hope he does.
Yes, some bitterness at the time of the timing of the move, and added to by time he’d done nowt at that stage, but after Wembley? Club folklore forever.
We will always remember ‘Tommy ‘95’, I will clap my hands raw when he comes back to SOL.
Premier League football, one of the most dramatic moments in our history, them scenes, that night, that hungover flight the next day, £150million of new talent.
Aye, thank you Tommy. What a beautiful sign off.
Benefits us long term for Watson to do well, 1 decent season at Brighton and could be due a small windfall from a sell on.
