I don't hold out much hope of him being here in August although I would love it if he were.
'As it stands today he's a Charlton player and he'll be here for pre-season.' Does not fill me with confidence and either way I hope a decision is made soon.
The worst position would be to not buy 3 league 2 strikers because we thought TW was staying and then for him to leave after a successful pre-season.
I often think Watt should go to some Tibetan monastery, or a Siberian Russian army training camp, or find God, or love or something. If Tony wants to continue in his 'lad with attitude' ways I agree with the above that he will gradually decay as a player. He is barely 22, maybe too young to change, or the habits are now so ingrained, or simply he doesn't want to be bothered much. If Russell Slade can effect a change in Tony I will be very impressed with both of them for making the effort. He seems to be a bloke that needs to be managed very hands on which may drain management effort from other areas.
There is no way Wattt will be here when the transfer window slams shut. Ditto JBG, Tex, Bauer, Kashi, Cousins, Pope and possibly Hendo Fox Diarra and Harriott. Fitness issues may mean that some go lter rather than before season starts but anyone worth a Euro will be gone.

Where's the dislike button? If you are right, that's so depressing.

Hmmm not so sure. They might be worth a euro but they've also got to be wanted by buyer. Personally think Kashi and Pope will stay and possibly Bauer
In defence of Colin, if the players are saying he is not the problem it was perceived he was, why did we loan him out twice? I always assumed he must have had issues off the pitch for us to off load him like we did, if this was not the case why do it?

Or just to get him off the wage bill, to loan and sell him asap.

Maybe it was the coach not the players he upset? Can you imagine Watt taking Fraeye seriously?
I think it might be that he wasn't a good role model to other young players on terns of fitness or refueling.
He was also absolutely dreadful at MK Dons.
But we have to remember we are not a normal club so any logic or reason does not apply.

If he breaks down or takes longer to be fully fit it might deter clubs from paying a decent fee so expect another loan to get his wages off the books.
Just for @colin1961

25 games at Celtic, 35 at Charlton.(league games)
I expected great things from, am I wrong to be disappointed.
Why is moved on time after time.
It seems he wanted to leave us
A) because in additional to being a bit difficult in the dressing room he also doesn't always put in a full shift in training or on the pitch
