Tony Watt to join Cardiff on loan (EDIT: Joined Until 16th January, Perm Deal Rumoured)

It could be interesting to see what happens if Riga does come. He may want to bring his own men. He may not want Euell as part of the set up. If Euell is part of the set up and Riga wants to assess TW before binning him, what then? I guess it's a done deal now anyway, but I think we are making a mistake. A good manager should be able to deal with Watt properly.10

Riga won't have any say in these matters. I think we all know that.WestCountryAddick said:It could be interesting to see what happens if Riga does come. He may want to bring his own men.

The only reason they'll be worried is if we leaved the changing room door unlocked.MuttleyCAFC said:our front four has to be Watt, Big Mack, JBG and Harriott at the moment with Lookman on the bench. We need to start worrying defences.

Only makes back the money we've spent on Sarr though. For an owner that wants to break even and wants financial stability we waste a lot of money on poor players.colin1961 said:2mill deal for Watt that's good business
He may be a good player in a few years but you could say that about far too many of this squad. We need more players that are good enough now.6 -
The good news keeps rolling in3

It doesn't matter how much Roland gets for him, it wont be reinvested into the team.colin1961 said:2mill deal for Watt that's good business

So now that Karel has finally gone, and we only have the interim coach and the u21 coach in charge of football matters, will Tony Watt still be sold this week?
If so, we have further proof that the decisions are being made by Roland, and not by the Charlton manager/club.
Would it not be more prudent for Roland to put his new Interim Interim Head Coach in place before deciding whether to sell our best forwards? Same applies to Lookman too!
Or will selling these two be the excuse he needs to justify a war chest for the new manager coming in?1 -

Seem to remember Fraeye saying selling Watt would be a board decision.

And there we have it. Poor old Karel says no one's being sold, so nasty Uncle Roland sacks him as he knows fine well that this deal is already done.Ben18 said:Richard Cawley @RichCawleySLP 6m6 minutes ago

You can't go lying to the good Charltonfanscustomers like that!! You should have been more honest, like the fragrant Katrien!!!1 -
Could there be a twist in the Tony Watt saga?
Subbed in the 82 min. last night and reports (denied) the Russel Slade was facing the sack after their cup defeat by Shrewsbury.

You obviously know fuck all about football!3 -
'While reports have put a permanent deal at £1million, Valley sources claim that the package is double that'. Yeah, because there's no high ranking Charlton officials who would ever tell a little fib, are there?14
-
£2m for a forward who has scored 4 goals in 23 League appearances this season (and just 2 in his last 21) sounds pretty good business to me.
In addition, Watt has a history of either falling out with his club and/or simply not performing prior to being loaned out/sold:
Celtic - none in his last 17 appearances
SL - 2 in his last 17 appearances
Charlton - 4 in his last 25 appearances and none in his final dozen
Cardiff - 2 in his 9 appearances and none in his last 5................................
Whether it's £1m, £2m or sweet fanny adam is irrelevant. It isn't going to be used to buy anyone. Well not anyone who is any good anyway because it's going to be used to fund Roland's losses this season.8 -
Richard Cawley just tweeted... Whats Jose thinking of!!
Tony Watt deal from #cafc to Cardiff will be completed today. Medical today. Deal worth around £2million.1 -

as much as I don't want to see him go.....£2m is excellent business really.5
-
Shame to see him go, I would have liked to have seen him given a second chance here, talented player and if motivated by our new manager then exactly the sort of fighting character you need in a relegation scrap.
Never mind though, got to fund the likes of Johnson and Vaz Te somehow, can't risk going over that bottom five budget can we. :-(1 -
Especially if he had only scored 7 goals for us... Had he been English he'd have cost more tooElthamaddick said:as much as I don't want to see him go.....£2m is excellent business really.

IF we get £2m for Watt and IF we keep Lookman then not bad I spose
but it is a big couple of ifs4 -
Why does he have to have another medical though, do they not bother having them if they're just in on loan?2
-
2m! Yeah if Cardiff get promoted, win the FA Cup, premier league and champions league.
Otherwise 250k15 -
£2m would be a good price, I'd be surprised if it was that amount straight, as opposed to £1m plus extras for appearances, promotion etcForeverAddickted said:Richard Cawley just tweeted... Whats Jose thinking of!!

Obviously doesn't have a particularly large brain, and seems to cause problems wherever he goes! Flashes of brilliance, but a poor attitude and inconsistent!
£2m is great business! We could fund a loan for Yann, Bent, or Patrick Bamford?! (if they want to join the circus)5 -
Probably an insurance precaution/requirement.ForeverAddickted said:Why does he have to have another medical though, do they not bother having them if they're just in on loan?

Or pay off what we owe on Vaz Te / Johnson / Poyet and Williams0
