Summer Transfer window

You assume wrong mate. I could have done the same in the NE, but I wanted a change. Not going into details, but the point is everyone seems to be jumping to the conclusion he wants to move for money, or football reasons. I dont think anyone, other than those closest to him can say that. I get tired easily of internet rumours becoming reality. Could be lots of reasons Watson wants to move clubs. It is mad to me folk are jumping all over him for this, he could have easily done much more of a dirty on the club had he been so motivated.

 

As we have been all season

Watson receiving stick wouldn’t be a surprise, though

 

We certainly won't be singing 'He's one of our own'

 

Watson getting stick isn't everyone behind the team though is it?

If RLB and the coaches decide he can play then he deserves our support

 

Wonder if aleksic will get watsons minutes out wide now? he’s come on there a few times and probably be in the clubs thinking to focus on his development given he’ll actually be here next year

 

I can't think of many tbh.

And certainly none he couldn't have moved for in another season or two.

 

Going to be interesting who starts / makes the bench / comes on.

We have to trust them, they have earned it imo

 

I think 15 is about right. Others clubs too watching him since then and wanted him out of the academy.

Personally looking forward to watching him. He is not the finished article, but in 2/3 years could be seriously good. Brighton know what they are buying. The 20% is significant sell on. Really smart by the club.

 

Sad state of current fans.

 

Get the play off place locked in Saturday then we will start to see changes imo, not wholesale changes but I think there will be abit more experimenting

 

No idea If we will experiment mate, I'm just going to enjoy the last few games and then the nerves of the play offs.

As I've said numerous times on our day we can beat any team in the league

 

You arent him tbf. This angst you and others are showing is a really poor look imo. On the one hand you dont want him in the team, on the other you want him to show some loyalty. Odd stance.

 

Watson will get my full support whilst he’s on the pitch. Which seeing I won’t be at any of the games, doesn’t really matter. But for what it’s worth at least

 

100% mate we all would have taken this in August, whatever happens we’re in a good place to kick on next year for me

 

It's a big dilemma, will he be committed? You have to hope so. Is it a kick in the nuts he's leaving? Yes it is.

If he scores the winner at Wembley I will happily sing he's one of our own, because no matter what, he is one of own

 

I can only speak from experience. Young players like him will give everything if picked. Mind you, if they get grief from the stands their confidence can be knocked. I have zero qualms with playing Watson. It is still to be shared why this news has been shared. It cant be our side.

 

I think it's important that we treat Watson well as if we don't, as Fell has said, the younger lads in the academy now will take notice. It's a shame he's leaving but there's nothing we can do about it. Might be beneficial to put anger aside and say 'fair play and good luck with your career'.

 

I hope the fans back him, despite us all struggling with his decision.

However it seems some have already decided their decision

 

you’re right. Just have to hope, as normal, that internet isn’t reflection of reality

 

I won’t give him any stick as I don’t care that he’s leaving, loads to prove yet

Do believe some will though and won’t particularly have a problem with it
