We really need to sell him because these loans last longer than his "honeymoon" period and they see him for what he really is. And then create an injury and ship him back.
Blackburn are the typical example of a club that should stick with their manager.
He's done the bizz before and he'll definitely come good.
Not so sure its a case of Blackburn sticking with him. More a case of him sticking with Blackburn. From his time at Norwich, he's a fairly hard headed bloke who knows what he wants and will walk away if he doesn't get it.
It's clear that we have been desperate to move him on. While we have had him scoring goals and making assists for other clubs we needed his goals. He will now be injured until after pre-season training so we will, no doubt, have to get him fit before we lend him out again only for the 'permanent deal' to fall through.
He was asked about his 'issue' with Luzon in August when he came to Ashford and his response was something like 'I thought I was in the right, and I still believe that today so.......'
I knew then that he was going to be difficult to manage but now, after he's been tries by three managers here, one at Cardiff and one and Blackburn it is beginning to look like it might just be Tony that has the problem.
Apart from the fact that we have a problem as he is on a contract as we have to pay him unless we can convince a dwindling list of managers to take him off our hands.
Tell the sweaty to sod off back over Hadrian's Wall and be done with it.
Geezer hasn't got the fitness or discipline to play at a higher level than that, he can go be the biggest fish in a tiny Dundee/Motherwell/Heart of Midlothian sized pond.
Get moved once with rumours of attitude, fine, could have been a clash of personality, but for it to happen 3 or 4 times and to only be 22?

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Cardiff move fall through due to them having transfer restrictions and he's been sent back by Blackburn because he is injured so there's two places that were keen on him.
Tony Watt will be playing at a higher level than us next season

hope you do well here.
Surely he could have stayed there?
That's bollocks
I wonder if T.W.'s future may also be in doubt if his fellow Scot left?
But then we probably paid the most for his services.

Another player with possibly a long term injury on the payroll.
Poor old Roland ....
Make him the main man and build a team around him

Seriously, I can't remember any such glut of groin injuries during the previous 20-25 years I've been following things
Two birds with one stone and all that.
We were crying out for someone with his nous & craft at Ipswich
