    With the likes of Morgan and Levitt I’m really happy with this one. I think we really missed Pratleys experience in the middle when he was out so having Watson is huge.

    Palace c*nt!!

    Jokes aside, he's a great signing in league one. Played 45 times for Forest last season and we've only got him as he wanted to move back down south.

    Wasn't he linked with us as a youngster?

    I am sure Curbs looked at him around the time Palace got relegated. 

    I am delighted. It means Pratley and Watson can be rotated and ensure that a wise old head will be available for most of the games. 

    As he has trained with us he can slot straight in Sunday.

    Where's Scarfy?

    Not official until a new signing wears scarfy.

    Quality signing at this level, knows the lads after 2 weeks here already and ready to play.

    will be a big player for us, would still be at Forest I suspect had he not wanted to return to London

    welcome to big school Ben

    Watching the video he certainly seems to bring a calmness to the team, speaks well!!

    Excellent. After last week's performance both on the pitch, and technical wise, I was not going to buy a valley pass game again.

    Of course that's gone striaght on the window. Look forward to seeing what he can do.

    He must be relieved to finally come out of the shed at Sparrows Lane, where he's been hidden away secretly for a fortnight.

    I wasn't sure we needed another central midfielder, but after the start to the season can now see Watson being a decent signing for us

    Very happy with this. A leader on and off the pitch, loads of experience at the highest level and what a reference from the Forest manager! Nice one Bow and Steve.

    So he is on 2k a week? Guessing thats a big drop from his forest wage.

    It’s not a 2k limit per player, more like an overall limit on the entire squad which averages out to 2k per player. If we’ve gone over 2k here, that leaves us with less money to spend on other new signings.

    Will be great experience but I'm surprised at just how excited some seem at this. He has hardly played over the last 4 seasons. 
    Are you looking at the right Watson?

    Hasn’t it been done to death before that the 2.5m the cap, we can pay players what we want as long as the 2.5m isn’t exceeded.

    changing the subject, I thought he was ginger?

    According to Google he played 45 games last season?
    Ah! His wiki info was missing for last season, so was looking at the wrong season which I think must be wrong too.

    Elementary, my dear Watson? Or was that Holmes (not Rickyyyyyyyyyy).
