    Why is it always the player that has the problem and we're better off without him. Why can't it be that he has been badly handled by the manager/s or the club.
    Tony Watt is one of the most gifted players to play at Charlton in recent years and I, for one, will miss him and wish him all the best for the future.

    Imagine what he could have done alongside Kermorgant. In front of Diarra and Cousins. Gud and Harriott on wings. Solly, morro, texeira, Wiggins. Pope.

    We would never be in this mess.
    Pie in the sky, but in front of Henderson

    Sorry to see him go, as he really got you on your feet, but...

    1) I heard he had turned up for training drunk. Not very professional.

    2) Also heard that he had lumped an academy player.

    3) Would have been a much better player if he had ever learned how to pass the ball. There was no evidence of that.

    4) His fitness level was terrible. Yann used to come back to pre-season, or from injury carrying a bit extra timber, but you could see he would slowly get fitter as time went on. I don't think he was the best trainer in the world, but matches made all the difference. With TW, I was always looking for his fitness to improve. It never did.

    So, on the whole, I think the club have done the right thing, getting rid. He will now do what he always does, score a few goals, look good for a month, end up disappearing, and probably get sent back to us before January...

    I can understand him wanting to go. I can understand us letting him go.

    But I would be very pissed off if we are covering much of his wages. For a club that wants to count the pennies in so many ways we are amazingly profligate in wasting money.

    A bit like my sex life. A few fleeting memories and im sure I'd be brilliant if everyone else was on the same wavelength. Ultimately a big disappointment but I'll miss it.

    Went a long way (along with the return of Henderson) in keeping us up the season before last which held up the protests by 12 months. The regime did not see this and carried on blindly to the inevitable relegation.

    Bloke clearly cannot settle anywhere

    You're forgetting he also played for Belgian club SK Lierse before he went to Standard Liège. Had to leave after one season ...

    Watt is the most frustrating one of the lot. Clearly he has something about him - why else would teams keep taking a punt? You just want give him a slap. He really could be a class act if he got his head straight.

    Wasted talent.

    Hope it works out for him at hearts - but you just know he's going to be a journeyman who never settles.

    I had hoped Slade was going to administer the slap, maybe he did and was just not well received.

    I think he wanted to but his belly got in that way.

    Amazing talent, but seemingly a pretty crap attitude, no doubt why we can't sell, no-one will take the risk. Shame, but personally I doubt he'll fulfil his potential.

    Tony Watt will be back - but only for treatment when he's injured.

    Will he find it at Hearts or Jam Tarts instead?

    I fucking love Bauer:

    Just going through his timeline, I really, really like him, not just because he seems to have a sense of humor, but because he seems like a decent bloke and clearly has an affinity for Charlton.

    May I set your minds back a couple of years, gentlemen? We couldn't score under Chris Powell, we failed under Peeters, we laughed at Luzon, we wondered about Riga. When Tony Watt was landed at The Valley, he did this:

    He was up front. That's important. He used his upper body strength, swivelled the last defender, and buried it in the onion-bag, home at The Valley. Tony Watt scored a brilliant goal.

    In the absence of decent midfielders... I like Bradley Wright-Phillips, his innate ability to receive on the edge of the Huddersfield box, to swivel, hit low and hard - completely unexpectedly, so that the keeper fumbles this rapier round the post. The 'Udders keeper shoots daggers to his defender.

    Tony Watt is perfectly capable of scoring. He is young, tough, fighting fit - he is a maverick - and is simply wrongly played to burble and dribble in a midfield that has failed him. Forget Makienok, forget Harriott. And the litany of others: Ron Nouble (ex-West Ham), Brian Small (ditto) - and the dreary, ineffectual Diego Poyet.

    There is fire in the Scottish night-club! To win, we must be like Tony Watt. Ignore the weak captains and dim coaches that have sent us down to play Fleetwood and Port Vale.

    If - and if this the very big if - our players would not limp off after two seconds (inflamed pubis). If we had midfielders who would win tackles. If we could then pass cutting balls like Kermorgant did having scored two and then for Reading's third. IF we had good coaches at Sparrows Lane...

    Paul Walsh, Derek Hales, Mike Flanagan and Martin Robinson. I am sure you know Tony Watt and our youngsters have superb mentors and heroes...
