1971fozzy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The most bizarre aspect of this is Charlton wanting him back. His "value" has decreased rather than increased surely during his time with us.This. There must be a clause in that either side can terminate giving notice. I'd imagine that would be something that we would of invoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrahim Tall Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The most bizarre aspect of this is Charlton wanting him back. His "value" has decreased rather than increased surely during his time with us. Might be part of the reason, what's the point in having him on loan here and still paying part of his wages if he isn't anywhere near the first team and losing value rapidly. Makes more sense for Robinson to have a look at him and just punt him permanent while someone else might still be daft enough to buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 If he used his close control, which is good, better and stopped trying to beat his man a second time then I felt he could have been utilised as a number ten but he didn't seem a team player so best he has left. Those saying they would like to see a return for Juanma have a point. With Johnsen chasing and closing down everything then maybe the wayward Spaniard could fit in as we need a scorer to be in and around the Americans flick ons and hassling of defences !

Jamboelite Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Great skill which he used in all the wrong places creating little and finishing even less.

If he could actually regiment himself to the position he is meant to play he could have done something. Bye Mr Watt. He's taken the safe option doing what he does well. As in other threads those of us who saw every game can give a half decent report. But he loses by not having improved his finishing and link up play. And his anticipation and sharpness. All the stuff that comes from hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensferryjambo Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Shame it didn't work out but after watching him play glad to see the back of him. I also believe he hindered Sammon early in the season with his lack of support up front. Sammon took the pelters and Watt took the plaudits - both were equally as bad.

Alan_R Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 New manager wants to see him in the flesh. Nothing new there. Wouldn't surprise me if any or all of Juanma, McGhee, King, Reilly end up back in Gorgie during January. Regardless of how you rate them, they should.

The Manager was asked about the striker, who has been out on loan at Hearts, following Saturday?s 1-1 draw against Southend United at Roots Hall. And he says that Watt will be back at the club in the next couple of days for testing. ?What is going to happen with Tony Watt is that he is going to come in and I?m going to run the legs off of him,? said Robinson. ?I?m going to make him sweat, make him cry and I want to see whether he has got the desire to play for me and this club. ?That is the top and bottom of it. There have been a lot of questions about Tony, his mentality and desire, but no-one in this football world has ever questioned his talent. ?Tony has to come back an apologise for certain things and then endear himself to the fans and to me and to the club. If you want to play football, come to a club with great young players, great fans and a great desire to improve and be better. ?I want him to prove that he can be one of the best players in this league. He?s got to come back for testing and, within that, we?ll see if he has got the application to be here.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 He'll be leaving a Charlton very shortly then. No danger he'll pass this 'testing'. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk It is quite some statement. Complete speculation but I'd imagine one or more of the following. 1. Charlton boss hates him. He tried to sign him for MK but we beat them to it. Refusal may not have been done with due grace at the time. 2. We've sent word of any poor behaviour, and/or simply the fact we've exercised a right to bin him has meant this has not been received as great news in saaf laandan. 3. I think he's on a decent wedge there; he was signed I think for a good fee from Belgium when Charlton were in the Championship. They now find themselves in mid League 1, and feeling the need to be a lot less generous, so clear messages to ship up or shape out are the order of the day. Whatever the reason, I can't escape the feeling that Watt deserves it. Time for him to grow up if he can although I would not put a penny on that happening.

Needs a man manager to turn him around and stop the downward spiral. needs to be at a top team that can create plenty of chances for him.

JeanLouisValois84 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 When he signed he said he was delighted to be back in Scotland with his family/girlfriend as he got really homesick.
