Tony Watt gone to Hearts (Loan) - Confirmed
Comments

You don't have as many clubs as TW has had by the age of 24/25, without having the capacity of being a pain in the arse.
Sometimes if a player has massive ability (Cantona/Ibrahimovic/Keane etc), then you can take all of the bullshit, as it is balanced out by outstanding performances - in other words a trade off.
Can anybody really say that TW's performances have warranted such lenient treatment?6 -

Tony Watt is very young. A bit wayward: he's fiery. One of the reasons he bumbles around in those cul-de-sacs in midfield is that he knows our players are utter dreck.
Look at Shearer or Rooney: superb strikers. When Shearer didn't have the ball at his feet, he would go back to midfield, hassle the clods from Stoke, come away with the ball, advance and score.
There has been an aching vacancy about our midfielders since Scotty Parker, Lee Bowyer and Andy Reid. I saw Holmes at Welling and liked the way he played: passing quickly, rushing forward to the box, sending an incisive pass - Ajose, 3-1.
It's about threading from one man to another - knowing their lovely rehearsed moves. At The Valley for too long we have watched this absurd spectacle when our keeper clutches the ball and hopes impossibly for movement up front - running, feints, making space: this Shearer and Rooney-like urgency.
We are losing 0-2 at home. Vetokele, Makienok, Lookman, Harriott don't shift. They are statues. Frozen, until given orders.
We lost 3-0 eight times last season. EIGHT. And 4-0, at Burnley. And 5-0 at Huddersfield. And 6-0 at Hull. We played 46 games and scored a measly 40 goals. And we caved in at Colchester, two divisions below.
Isn't it about bloody time we stamped our authority on this game?7 -
He's actually only 22, so probably still time to get his head sorted.Kenny Achampong said:You don't have as many clubs as TW has had by the age of 24/25, without having the capacity of being a pain in the arse.

My departing words to Tony magic feet Watt.
You were sublime, you were ridiculous,
at training, you weren't Meticulous.
you had a barney,with coach Luzon,
Before you even got your boots on.
before 60 minutes, you were blowing through your arse,
don't let your career become a fading farce.
At 17 you were a Hero against Barcelona,
now at 22 your known as a moaner.
If you could ever get yourself Fit,
you could still be a big hit.
Against forest on the line,
your skills were so fine
Like the Spanish matador,
We wanted an encore.
Some days the ball at your feet was magic,
Other days your lack of passing was tragic.
I will say for one last time,
this ain't no crime.
Tony Watt Watt Watt.

Sadly, under this regime, if our "authority" gets stamped, we'll probably find ourselves searching for a clump of grass with which to scrape it off the sole of our shoe....Viewfinder said:Kenny Achampong -

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but TW has played a part in the shiteness just as much as the others.Sillybilly said:

All a bit irrelevant now anyhow, as he has gone and we won't see him again in all likelihood.
There was a period a couple of years ago, when him Vetokele and JBG looked like they may combine to be something a bit special, but as is always the way with CAFC it all went to nothing.
I agree with you in that there is a player in there somewhere, the question is whether he or anybody else can find it?
Like I have said on TW before, he is on a slippery slope, now he is at Hearts, if he doesn't do it there he will slip down another rung to Falkirk, and before he know's it he'll be in the A-League, or plying his trade in the US 2nd division (look at Jeffer's, Joe Cole and Michael Bridges for proof of this.)1 -
"When ye go, will ye send back a letter from your latest club"
How sad that even a decent network player signing does not work out. This is a player that anyone watching with even half a brain cell can see he is special.4 -
Well, at least he did not feature in the squad for their home game in Europa League qualifying. They lost 1-2 at home to a Maltese club (and 1-2 on agg) and were booed off by the Tynecastle faithful. Still, as frying pans and fires go, that's a cracking start.

You can get up to 40/1 on him being the leagues top scorer. E/W first three places. Hearts do not seem to have outstanding strikers, that make you think he would get a lot of game time.0

Lots of attributes go to making a 'special' player. Watt had ability but fell vet short in other areas......,...apparently.0
-
With JBG and Watt gone who's left with more ability (fitness apart) than me , a crocked 46 year old who hasn't played for 6 years .
Obviously he's wonky but like Kermorgant before him you never knew what may happen when the ball arrived to him , sad to see him go but can understand the reasoning behind it .

Why haven't we either sold him or just paid him off? Not sure why we keep loaning him everywhere.cafcdave123 said:Hearts highest paid last season was Osman Sow

something to do with the fact that Roly shafted the new owner of Standard with regards TW and it is under some sort of investigation and wouldn't surprise me if Standard were due a payment or a fee if we sell hence him being constantly loaned out.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I hope we are waiting for him to hit a rich vein of form and bring him back.. my instinct tells me this is not the caseChris_from_Sidcup said:
