Tony Watt - Waste of a Talent
Comments

To be clear - Tony Watt isn't actually collecting glasses in a pub, in fact he's probably earning more money now than when he scored that goal against Barcelona !kings hill addick said:
I know you're joking and it's not a bad job for someone that wants a few quid working in a bar, which I did, on and off, for many years, but compared to a millionaire footballer, that scored against Barcelona, didn't you know, it's a bit of a come down.se9addick said:Feel sorry for glass collectors, getting slaughtered on this thread.

Being very generous there. There's a danger he'll be looking for something else to do long before that.Amos on the wing said:
Agree. Personally don't see him playing professional football in 5 years.Elthamaddick said:total waste of space
he'll never do anything in the game apart from drift along0 -
Tony has been earning £5k a week ? for what ? Four years ? That's well over a million pounds. I doubt he'll be driving a taxi any time soon.ElfsborgAddick said:

He's not got what it takes for reasons I don't understand or know about. I wish him well but he's not going to be a footballer.

You are assuming that our Tony has been saving a lot of it. I suspect that he has been spending most of it. I'm also assuming that he will have paid some Income Tax and N.I.ShootersHillGuru said:

What a shame. I was hoping he'd develop into a Rodney Marsh/Stan Bowles/Eric Cantana/Paolo De Canio type player for us.
IMO players are not allowed to show personality in the modern game - much the same as any workplace nowadays. Conformity and output is the thing, often regardless of quality and innovation.
I wished there was a place for an individual who thinks and acts a bit differently. One with the ability to entertain and the skills to turn a match. I think the nucleus is there somewhere in Tony Watt ... but so it seems is that demon perched on his shoulder.

Watt should be asking himself quite how and why he has ended up playing in the Belgian 2nd tier.
A rather similar story to John Bostock who now plies his trade in the French 2nd Division but he, at least, found God along the way. As the well worn joke goes, that must have been one hell of a pass - and one that might give Watt some belief in something, if not himself.0 -

My guess is this Belgum lot will be sending him back after 2months. Sorry to say Watt seems to not have any kind of work ethic, and even talented players have to have that in them as well, and he is not that talented.1

I thought it was a season long loan only.0

Had many a chance to show everyone what he WAS capable of but quite simply didn't for whatever reason/reasons.
He had to go......end of.2 -
Is there not a possibility he could eventually squander the money?ShootersHillGuru said:

TW's new team OH Leuven beat Jose Riga's Cercle Brugge 7-1. Tone played the whole match but was not amongst the scorers. A bizarre result - Cercle are still 2nd, with 6 points from 3 games, with OHL 3rd.

Blimey! I wonder if his opponent was sent off?0

I haven't seen the full match details yet - the video shows 51' and Cercle did go down to 10 but not until 71' for a second yellow.

"To be completely honest with you, the last eight months there I felt totally out of place. My time at Charlton was up for a while and I knew I needed to find somewhere I felt wanted and needed. Despite this, it was definitely a club that gave me many of my fondest memories."6 -

We know Tony, they all mingle before having a dance together.12 -
How is he doing in Belgium?0

He scored one goal in his first three games and since then he has either been on the bench or injured.MuttleyCAFC said:How is he doing in Belgium?
All pretty consistent with his record over the last three years.3 -

Two nights ago OHL had a superb 3-0 away win at Cercle Bruges (sorry Jose!). During the evening TW was doing his usual films/games/etc stuff. Was he not at the game, even if just a spectator ? His Twitter location still shows London - so how much time does he actually spend in Belgium ? Sgt Major Pearson will be wanting a word ....
