I'm really can't think I have seen a Charlton striker similar to him before, the closest I can say is probably a better quality version of Martin Pringle, does anyone else get that?
Direct, makes things happen, scores goals, and so far doesn't seem selfish. Squared for Igor in the first half which sadly proved to me that Igor is not the next Defoe.
Loving seeing Watt play, and hope it's not a flash in the pan. Some seemed to slag him off when we signed him, but gawd knows what they saw to come to that conclusion.
I was too young to watch Derek Hales at his very best "live" in a red shirt, but Tony Watt is up there with the likes of Hunt, Whyte, Bent and Mendonca IF he carries on with the form he has shown in the last few weeks.

You Watt, You Watt, You Watt You Watt You Watt !
Wasn't at the game today as I'm away in America with work, but I knew there was a player I was trying to put my finger on as to who he reminded me of - and Martin Pringle is it.
Has a quick turn of pace for someone so tall, and seems to have very good control of the ball in situations where you don't expect him to be able to. Even a little bit 'jammy' in some ways, but he just has an awkward style that many defenders will struggle to keep up with.
Could tell after about 5 minutes of his debut just how good he is. Already my favourite player, a class act.
Second that. After his debut I said he could become a cult figure down here. Fans seemed to take to him instantly. Add that to the fact he is mustard. Happy days.
Totally different style. Faster, more direct than Yann, just as clever though. If TW carries on like this he will become one of our all time striking heroes alongside Summers, Firmani, Hales, Mendonca, Hunt and Yann. Great relationship with the fans too - he seems to love us as much as we do him.
When we had yann, as you know NLA we played the ball in the air too much. Tony watt can get the ball at his feet and go round 2 defenders at a time, Different player to Yann but more mobile all over the pitch.
Igor is playing so much better now tony has turned up, also Bulot and Johann love to attack and at long last we are trying to win games instead of trying not to lose.
I hope these guys are still at the valley next season.
He has played about 7 games, can we stop with the whole 'this guy could be a legend' nonsense?
No. Because he is the most direct, pacey, dangerous striker that we have had for many a year. IF he carries on like this, he WILL be a legend - but a long way to go right now.

I already have.
The world is your oyster young man.

That's why he's not playing up there anymore.
Class whatever the language.
Roland needs to get his investment in the club back somehow.......
Him alongside Yann is the dream! (Possibly a wet one?)
Yes I know move on....
