To me, it only made sense to sell Watson if we could use the money for either an immediate impact or a long term target. I’d genuinely consider running the contract down to zero. We’ll get a decent fee at tribunal - and get his talents for the next 18 months in the mean time.
Just hope his head is in the right place. Top talent

don’t think we’d get more than £5m on tribunal though.

I've paid very little attention to this window tbh …

… the club have taken all the fun out of it with forward planning and sensible signings <doh>
 
Likely England age group caps. Maybe 60 plus first team appearances plus a good handful of goals. All at the age of 19. I’d bet we’d get double that plus a healthy sell-on.

I think the record for a fee under tribunal is £6.5m and that was between two premier league clubs.

Even if we could get £10m, I don’t think it would be sensible to turn down bids of £15m in the summer hoping we get £10m or so. £5m is a lot to sacrifice for one season of football.

Agreed. If they still can not sort the contract, then I reckon he will go in the summer. Obviously if we go up, then it could all change again!
