Please sign Watson

[Yousef]

If we really want to push for promotion (if not this season), we should sign him permanently. How about Simpson and Taarabt as well?

Watson is one of the best players ive seen in the hoops in a long time.

[BennyBoyRs]

We don't need him...we've got Mahon and Alberti...FACT!!!

give them both for free to Wigan

[sirpiechucker]

If for any reason we can't sign him (i.e. Wigan don't want to sell him) we have to have someone else lined up to replace him.

Very true. We should think about a replacement target from now

In fairness, we still have Buzz and Rowlands so as great a player Watson is, I still feel the striker sittuation is more important. Not only that but to find another midfielder of Ben's quality who would be willing to play in this division will be very hard as there are not many of them available. I can think of at least 10 realistic strikers who would improve us, but unless I think long and hard and do a bit of internet research, I can't actually think of any realistic targets who would be an improvement on Watson.

That's true about Buzsaky. And with Balanta, Taraabt, Vine and even Cook all able to replace Buzsaky on the left if he moves to the middle a replacement for Watson isn't as vital as extra strikers.

If we're near the top at Christmas, WHY would Watson want to leave??

Depends on whether or not a Prem club gives him another chance. Wigan could really need him and refuse a sale, or a team like Brum could offer him an unrefuseable deal?!

[THE FLYING COW]

yeah

we will definately sign him because gianni is obsessed with him ,he absolutely rates him as number one midfielder in this division

[Nodge70]

Thought we'd already agreed a permanent deal in January?

[Sharpy]

Yep i have read that some where Nodge,2 million i believe.

[THE FLYING COW]

he

he will buy him im sure of that

[Robsondinho]

Buzsaky, Rowlands, Watson, Routledge were superb last night!!!!Away from home and controlling the game like that was amazing to see.
