If Levein thinks he can get him playing then I'll trust him. But it will be very weird. My money is on Hibs signing him though. Fits the bill for them being ex-Celtic and ex-Hearts.

JJ93 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 He is still, according to wikipedia, still at a club. Maybe they terminated his contract like so many other clubs have or wanted to ... such a frustrating player. I am done with greedy players. Like that Spanish idiot or even Isma. We need team players who won't waste opportunities trying to do everything on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 With one alone in the middle up front, a greedy striker is maybe the answer? HIbs surely don't need another one, Ross County would be my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenNaismith Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 He cannot play for anyone until the summer as he was still at a club when the transfer window closed. At least that’s how I understand the rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answers that then!! Another club binning him... And we don't want a greedy striker because he won't make passes to other players in better positions and will ultimately cost us the game. Plus he scored once in 16 games for us according to wiki? No thanks. I'd rather have Nade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB-14 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 As @StevenNaismith has correctly pointed out, Tony Watt has been released from Leuven but the transfer window as all of you are aware in Scotland. Therefore he can’t be registered to play with a new Scottish club until the summer. Players need to to be released or free agents before our window closing in order to sign them to play this season.

RDSK Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 He’s not a bad footballer by any means. Played far too deep at hearts to be effective and his decision making is poor. He’d be a good option to come on when we are winning the game and he’d be a good option to start at places like Parkhead, Ibrox, Aberdeen and ER where teams aren’t sitting in and defending against us. Basically, I think if he played off the last defender in games or at particular times in games where there is space in behind the defence he would be effective.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Good player, just very ineffectual v his ability. Would be better at futsol or 5's. If he can get a position and be disciplined he could be a really good player , big ask now at his age, tho. The Lennon history makes him a stick on for hibs.

Ricardo Shillyshally Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Tony Watt reminds me of the best player in the primary school team. He wants to dribble round everyone twice and hit the ball in the top corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id of said the one at school who thinks hes the best player tries to dribble round everyone twice and lash it in and instead gets put on his ass and loses the ball. My opinion of him is he had potential but never lived up to it and could of done well at us but for whatever reason fell away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 6 minutes ago, scott herbertson said: I disagree. He would play his own game, head down and not part of the team like he did last time My concern is he's just one of those players no manager can get through to. I really liked Watt. His movement over the pitch is of a level players toil to handle in Scottish football but as pointed out he doesn't use it efficiently as he should. His finishing wasn't the best either but most see him as a carrier from deep. Is that what we need right now? Would rather see a forward coming in who's natural style is to get in and around the box trying to look for chances. More importantly I just think Watt lacks mentally. We're building a solid attitude, resilience and a will to win. Last thing we need is an unpredictable player and wonder what one is going to turn up.

Jammy T Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Seethe implies the Hun. Hearts to Hibs given he was only with us for 6 months and the Celtic - Hibs love in would hardly create a rumble. Next seethe would be back to us IMO - he would expect us to be grumpy after failing last time I’d happily see what’s a Levein could do with him for 4 months. We’ve had much less talented attackers play for us. Golf clubs, new stand at the ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1874robbo Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Last time he was with us he wasn’t a very good role model for our young players, let’s just say his attitude to training left a lot to be desired!! with all the young guys around the first team at the moment I’d pretty much guarantee Craig Levein won’t want him anywhere near!! id be amazed if he were to return to us.
