Desp Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 As I said when the story initially broke last month, I'll be very interested to see how Watt gets on at Tannadice. Motherwell is probably the only club, of many, that Tony has exceeded expectations. He seemed to have found a place where he was comfortable and he performed tremendously. Can he replicate that or will the old Tony Watt turn up at Tannadice? With Utd forking out a "six figure" transfer fee and a hefty contract, there's pressure on him from day 1. He was an excellent signing for us, which is something I didn't think I'd be saying on the day he signed. I'd have loved for him to stay at Fir Park, but if he's had a better offer elsewhere and Motherwell have been suitably compensated, then I'll wish him all the best. I'll at least get a good laugh reading all the meltdowns and hilarious takes on Twitter dot com this afternoon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be pressure on him, but if he can get close to his Motherwell form that will be good enough. We haven't had a proper striker since pre-Mellonball Shankland (i.e. prior to our promotion). Hopefully there is a Watt shaped hole in the iPad analysis and that Courts knows how to play the team around him - who knows as we currently don't have that type of player. In a way this is as big for Courts (who has failed to fit Biamou into his team) as it is for Watt. Could be interesting... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 £150k seems sensible for everyone, if that's figure. More than a nominal sum but not excessive to bring in a guy who will immediately be first choice centre forward. Only needs to make a difference of one league placing to pay for itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
