What Id say about Watson is for me he’s at least 2 years away from being a premier league player, and that’s likely to slow down playing in PL2 rather than championship. Think he’d have been better served staying here before getting a move sooner.

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.

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.

When Tommy signed his contract (at 17?) he probably hadn’t featured at all with the first team.
He is probably on comparatively low pay compared to the others.

Now that he has a handful of games and done ok he probably thinks he deserves a lot more. Maybe whatever Rigg, Jobe or Neil are getting.
He should be given a pay rise but needs to prove consistency before getting the much higher rate that regulars like Cirkin and Roberts get.

A contract for five years with a good pay rise and the promise of more depending on performances and which league we are in would be fair.

Regarding playing time. Even if him and Mundle remain fit for every game he would feature as a sub and sometimes starter for all these games.
Moving to a Premier league club would see him in the reserves or maybe lent out to somewhere like Preston or Derby.

Ideally he should talk with Rigg and Jobe, both of them are doing things the right way and could give good advice.
If he really wants out then let him go but I reckon he will fare worse than Clarke.

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
 
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.
