    What's the deal with JBG and Watt???

    Didn't they have a little spat in one game early in the season and wouldn't pass to one another. All blew over as far as I was aware.
    I had guessed they were good mates but maybe I'm wrong.

    I understand they fell out earlier this season. If you watch the pre-match high fives and hugs they never acknowledge each other anymore. Maybe it has been sorted, but I'm led to believe that there is no love lost.

    This is absolute fucking bollocks, he's technically the best striker we've had in years, and if you think that this decision by Katrien Meire to loan him out is correct then you're genuinely beyond hope.

    He's obviously told her some home truths and she's not liked it.

    See you all behind the West Stand on Saturday.

    He has been horribly out of form but I think he is potentially our best player. Like many he is a confidence player that would probably thrive in this current team with form starting to upturn. Then again, he wouldn't be with us in the first place if he didn't have problems.

    This move highlights my biggest grievance with our transfer policy. In Duchatelet's world, we don't sign domestic players because that gives our rivals an advantage i.e. financial, yet we are happy to loan and sell players to domestic rivals? I don't understand it.

    He is the Mgr right now interim or not it's his call and that of his Coaches, watt has fallen out with virtually every coach who has had him in his young career don't see how this is any different, just a shame

    Fraeye has been here long enough to have got to know the detailed machinations of the Tony Watt phenomena, and Fraeye has tried Watt in a number of ways, and after a good long look at him and careful consideration Fraeye (interim head coach) has advised Katrien and Roland that Watt ought to go out on loan to a rival club.

    Obviously. Duh. It will only be 2% who can't see it makes perfect sense.

    He has also said the same on here, but then you probably missed it whilst you were busy composing your next post.
    Why do you need to do that ?

    @colin1961 doesn't even respond to all the snide remarks so for whose benefit is it ?
    Bloody hell, PL54 criticising someone for making a snide remark. I've seen it all now

    Maybe he asked her out and got a knock back. You What? Hell hath no fury like a man scorned :open_mouth:

    He may be a disruptive influence , he might not have set the world alight this season but sending him to a rival club ? what's that all about?
    It smacks of Kermorgant all over again and the people running the club are not learning from their mistakes and that's worrying.

    That's exactly what happened - Tony Watt collared the CEO in a corridor, told her what he thought about the ownership of the club it's management and especially the appointment of Luzon and asked to be excused from the pre match warm up on Saturday 'cos he'd be busy in a car park.

    You must be right.

    No doubt his form has been shocking for a while. Ive seen a couple of home games where he has not been getting on with fox (OK) and JBG (oh dear). I hoped this would be the club where it all clicked for him and it may still be but he does look way off and it must be mid August since we heard the tony watt songs?

    The replacements will tell us whether this a good or bad move for the club.

    The corner flag thing was great and scored some good goals. Would like him some day to sort himself out and fulfill his potential. Not fulfilled it with our club. Unfortunately, that has been said a few times by different teams supporters.

    Good luck to him in any case.

    I thought Euell was running the team so it must be his call.

    Went and had a look. I was initially being lazy!
    This stands out…

    We really are becoming a joke of a club, how bad must he have become if Charlton want rid.. Who is scouting for Slade apart From Tan ?

    Can understand why we've done it, for a few reasons that have been said here. Would really like him back at some point though, as he's quality when on form.

    I'd see reason in it, give it benefit of the doubt if he was loaned out temporarily to a club in a different league. Stuff going on behind closed doors etc he could be being a pain in the ass for whatever reason, but f*ckin hell loan him out to a rival club! That also most likely means he's gone and not coming back.

    Pathetic, careless.

    That's the talk all over twitter . If I was a cynic I would say this is all about the timing - just before the potential protests at the Ipswich game .

    Let's see what they have to say for themselves about this. Even Katrien Meire must realise that it requires an explanation. As usual the story has got away from them, but Tony Watt is clearly a temperamental character. Equally, Roland is bonkers, IMO. But I don't think a rush to judgement helps anyone.

    Ha, ha, it does make me laugh on here, 5 pages of most jumping to conclusions!

    I don't suppose for one minute Vaz Te was a cheap signing, Watt is only going on loan. If he is disruptive in the dressing room, then let him go, he's not needed. If he regains some form, then it will benefit us when he comes back, or even gets sold. If the rumours are true, Roly nicked him from S.L. then he hasn't cost us anything anyway!

    Dick Plumb, who is closer to people at the club than 99% of us on here has indicated that there could be one, possibly two coming in before Thursday. Instead of throwing your toys out of the pram as usual, wait and see what happens!

    Goals scored since August 15th - 0
    Goals created since August 15th - 1
    Minutes played since August 15th - 850

    It rather says it all about the state of our Club that we are fighting among ourselves about the merits of keeping such a talisman

    I'm not too bothered by this. He was awful during our recent losing streak and if he is a disruptive influence in the dressing room, then let him be a disruptive influence in the Cardiff dressing room.

    There's a lot more to this than a lot of fans will let on. Guarantee mr Watt has a hell of a lot more to do with it than most will let on, it's what we were warned about when he joined. If he's unsettling the dressing room and as much as I don't like having him here myself - Fraeye, then he can go. No one wants a player like that.
