Tony Watt being in the squad for the game in Dingwall looks, ermm, unlikely.

Why? Is there stuff on social media?


A couple of stories, the Daily Record last night, Football Scotland this morning (which is just just a rehash of the DR story)

Not sure if that constitutes evidence per se, but it's not unexpected, so quite possibly true?

I assume they have met our valuation, whatever that might have been, I would have liked to see it strung out a bit longer for the drama.

I mean, given the way Burrows has carried himself in terms of transfers I'm fairly comfortable that if/when Watt goes this month it'll be a deal we'll be happy enough with but as @Swello says given it seems to have been a direct flow of info from United to Burns it's interesting that he's still reporting it as a vague "six figure fee" we're looking for rather than anything more specific.

The benefit of selling rather than him leaving at the end of his contract is that we can negotiate ‘add ons’. If Watt continues his upward curve and some English club want to offer him a swan song after another good year, we could get a cut.

Oh...

I take it that's coming from the pre-match press conference.

Have to echo @thisGRAEME from his Patreon last week...it feels mental for United to be chucking money at us for Watt.

Quote

"Dundee United are poised to announce the signing of Tony Watt after the Tannadice club met Motherwell's demands for the striker.

'Well boss Graham Alexander is not looking for a direct replacement for Watt as there is enough depth in his squad to cope with the loss."
