[Albion] Tommy Watson

[bhafc99]

Sheesh, why don't we chuck Mitoma in the deal as well!

 

[Hiheidi]

Having a laugh

Nothing would surprise me right now.

 

[Home and Away]

Jeez, can you please stop this wall-to-wall whining. It’s doing my bloody head in. This transfer, if it happens, is great news.

I'm really glad that you're satisfied with the situation. I'm not. We both have our opinions and are entitled to them.

 

[pigmanovich]

Watson for Sarmiento I could countenance, Watson for Adingra is taking the piss.

 

[brighton_tom]

We’ll only let you have our young player with potential if you give us your Prem experienced African cup of nations winner who we just turned down £20m for? Okay yeah, good one.

 

[Gabbiano]

The thing is, the only way Adingra goes the other way is by loan.

So why would we do that when we could just loan them Watson himself until the end of the season?

The Mail article says they want a loan with an obligation to buy in the event they're promoted

 

[Beanstalk]

Without being too fatalistic, I think if we’re looking at trading an international starter and cup winner who has regularly contributed to the first team for an 18 year old in the championship, then, regardless of his undoubted potential, we can write off any delusions of European qualification as a priority for the club.

If the club have decided that the strategy is to trade and stay in the PL to turn over a profit then that’s fine, but you can’t compete with the top 8 if that’s it.

Now being reported no Adingra loan

Because Adingra is considerably better, currently, than Watson. Sunderland are committing serious money to their promotion push.

At the same time, why on earth would you allow this as Adingra? Saw a report that seven European clubs (inc. Marseille where he'd undoubtedly be an important piece of RDZ's puzzle, as well as Lens and RB Leipzig) have contacted the Albion about a move this January, with a confirmed bid of £20m from Marseille.

Why would you choose Sunderland, to facilitate a move that at best, leaves you in a Premier League relegation battle next season when that interest is concrete and on the table?

Alternatively, it's the Daily Mail and a complete load of tosh.

 

[Commander]

I’d say do the deal and you can have Adingra until the end of the season. Tell Adingra he is taking Mitoma’s place next season. Sell Mitoma for £75 million to the Saudis in the Summer. Tell Watson he is the new Adingra.

Win/Win/Win.

 

[peterward]

This one looks to be happening.

A very worrying Sunderland transfer update as Brighton push for Tommy Watson on deadline day

The latest...

At 18, just been injured, 18 months left on contract etc.

If we allowed him to stay on loan till end of season, similar Tzimas could that seal the deal?

Seems a strange one but guaranteed first-team football at a big, rejuvenated club.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Watson for Sarmiento I could countenance, Watson for Adingra is taking the piss.

Unless it’s a loan. That might be possible but would still be concerning.

Can’t see how any of that improves us in the slightest.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Can’t see how any of that improves us in the slightest.

Watson would be one for the future.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Watson would be one for the future.

Unproven at top level, so could be another Norman. Better than Gruda?

 

[Commander]

Can’t see how any of that improves us in the slightest.

Because it’s right to allow Mitoma to go and make his money (assuming he wants to). Mitoma is currently blocking Adingra’s development, so it gives Adingra the opportunity to fulfill his potential, and it gets the deal done to bring in the next exciting young winger on the production line, who will eventually replace Adingra in the first team when we sell him for big money.

It’s not a particularly difficult one to understand.
