    We will sell him on the cheap instead. Fact

    Or someone else will buy him for a cut price.

    The cell in the spread sheet which relates to a transfer fee for Watt is already populated. Katrien and Roland don't do failure or back-space, he has to be sold.

    So he'll come back and be completely unmanageable. Great!!

    Wouldn't it be nice if TW comes back and performs his magic, keeping us in the Championship!

    he couldn't be any worse than the other lot out there at the moment & IO don't recall losing 5 & 6 nil with TW in the side.

    It would also be nice if we got rid of Karel Fraeye and got in a manager with a bit of Championship experience, and improved upon a 0-5 scoreline.

    But things don't always work out the way you want them to.

    Sometimes they do, though - often helped by a bit of positive thinking!

    I'll be surprised if he plays for us again, he's quite likely already being touted around to any championship club who will listen

    Cardiff City have failed in a bid to extend Tony Watt's stay at the club.

    Watt's loan from Charlton expired on Saturday and he wasn't included in the Bluebirds' match day squad ahead of their 3-1 win over Wolves at Molineux.

    The Bluebirds, who were placed under a transfer embargo on Friday after failing financial fair play, had sought to extend Watt's loan but parent club Charlton have rejected their bid.

    It now looks as though he has played his last game for the club.

    Cardiff chief executive Ken Choo told BBC Radio Wales : "We put it on the table but they were not interested in the loan. They said no."

    Prior to news of the Bluebirds' transfer embargo - which will be in place for the rest of the January window - a permanent £1m deal for Watt had been mooted.

    The club seemed keen to offload him, so suspect all this means is his asking price will have to be lowered.

    We can't afford to dismiss players of Watt's quality when in a relegation battle. He's better than any of our centre forwards and was forming a good partnership with Igor at the end of last season. Put your best players on the pitch and forget about your stupid training ground spats. If we have to shift any forwards then make sure it's Reza or Mak.

    Do we have a definitive truth on why he went in the first place? Is it recoverable under a new manager or has he burned his bridges with the team? Couldn't care less if he doesn't get on with the CEO, neither should she.

    Duchatelet needs to shift £2m worth of players to make budget. He will be pimping Watt out all around Europe. Everything is a slave to the budget

    George Graham always said he didn't care if he didn't like a player, he'd pick him if he was going to win him football matches. He wasn't a bad manager was he?

    I've seen a lot of comments from people with friends ITK but nothing concrete. Latest one I read was that he got overly aggressive with Luzon.

    I think they want to sell him and Cardiff can't buy him because of a transfer embargo.

    I'd settle for a series of 1-0 to the Charlton, George Graham style.

    An on form TWWW & a fully fit Igor are one of the last straws we've got left to clutch at.
    The brief purple patch they experienced together last year was one of the few highlights of the season (even if Vetokele wasn't 100%).
    Are we going to sign a striker capable of getting us out of this mess this month?
    No, instead we can but hope for some real defensive reinforcements and the best attackers we currently have to hit form & fitness (Watt, Igor, Lookman, JBG, Harriott... Vaz Te?).

    Maybe Riga will send Mrs Vetokele on holiday for the rest of the season. Might help reduce risk of recurring groin strain.

    I reckon Riga probably insisted that Watt returned to Charlton.

    I haven't a clue about anything, like most on here. Even those who are ITK might have received info that is only partially correct.

    I wouldn't be surprised though, he still has a couple of weeks of Watt to see if he can handle him or if he is a bad egg, before they have to opportunity to move him on.
