He d surely break all records for goal scoring if he played in Div 1 - problem is I cannot see it happening. Would be ridiculous ? Then again that's what got Jordan Rhodes really noticed....
Despite all the rumours of disruption, I'm led to believe the players like and rate him and want him to stay. He's a young guy who falls out with someone every day and is best friends with them again the next. I understand he had a falling out with our Interim CEO over broken contract promises and it appears he's being moved out as a result.
A motivated Tony Watt would tear League One defences a new one.
Great! We lose a player because of Katrien Meire's lies
That's not true .... KM only find out about Watt issues with staff and other players when Jackson went to see her and told them they needed to do something about him ...... players had enough of his antics

Thing is whilst he has a bit of skill, I have seen nothing in his goal scoring record to suggest he would break records in league 1. To break records he first needs to get some consistency and stay fit and engaged for a full year.
Would love him to stay, my favourite cafc moment over the past couple of seasons was when he had the ball in the corner holding off half the Forest team, it's making me chuckle just thinking about it
I don't actually think his finishing is all that to score a huge number of goals, would absolutely love to see him running at League 1 centre backs and I'm sure he'd get a decent few.
He'd be spending a huge number of Sundays with bruised shins/ankles though down in League 1, not sure he'd fancy it too much.

I think Watt would be the sort of person that you thought was pretty funny and entertaining to start with, but would ultimately get on your nerves. Or the other way round. Either way, her would get on your nerves at some point.

It is one think being sensible with money, but it is cheaper to go up than stay down! Also, Watt is a player you can invest in - meaning his transfer value could increase significantly! Watt would be the best player in League One - no danger!

And watt would know that! That's where the problem is.....tony watts ego
Yes, it would be a question for Slade whether he thought he could manage it - and for the player too, because little point even considering if he is going to throw his rattle out of the pram. My point is, that if both were positive about it, it would make sense - but what makes sense doesn't happen at my club anymore.

what ego? he's an absolute sweetheart. have you seen his twitter?
There can be no doubt that Tony Watt needs to settle down at a club for at least one season, and show some decent sustained form - it doesn't matter if that is League one or the Championship.
Otherwise he will find himself on the Franny Jeffers style career route, which will doubtless be visiting the likes of Raith Rovers, The A league in Aus and possibly some outpost of China, before jacking it all in.
Clubs will only take a punt on potential for so long, once you turn 24/25 and you have essentially achieved nothing in the game, then the offers begin to dry up fast.
He doesn't have a football brain which exposed him a bit in a struggling team as his solution was to try to do it all himself which was never going to work. With a talent like he has, you have to play to his abilities. He is expensive but the sort of player who can guarantee us promotion along with two or three others. When calculating the cost of keeping him, you should factor in the increase in his transfer value if he is well managed and successful (that is for Slade to decide if he thinks he can do that) and how much money is not lost if we get out of this League at the first attempt.

Completely agree. No one is in doubt of his ability and one of the few Charlton players in recent times who has me on the edge of my seat when he gets the ball. I can see him getting to late 20's and turning outin the A league in Oz or something along those lines if he does not sort himself out. Frustrating as he has it talent wise to go a long way
With Muttley on this. This guy could well be a deciding factor in going up, and it would be worth judging if we should spend a bit in order to stay in league 1 as short a time as possible. Which means it probably won't happen as 'old mister duct tape' is unlikely to even consider paying league 1 wages, let alone championship ones, when there are youngsters and people on crutches who would happily play in their spare time for a pint and a pastie. Like Poyet last year, Watt could badly do with a season of playing and showing he has his head right. Whether he gets the chance to do it here is a big if.
Given TW didn't want to pass to his teammates in The Championship, it seems even less likely he'll do so in League 1 given the quality of our squad is going to dip (hard as that is to believe).
I'd be surprised if he plays for us next year, and if he does, I'd be very surprised if it's a success.

Still want him back though.
