Ben Watson Valuation 2.5-3 million

[qblockpete]

Is he the main player to buy in January?

[BennyBoyRs]

So we didn't have a £2m price already agreed?

That's clever.

[ollyhoops]

Yes, he's a top player and this is the sort of player we should be buying. We could build a good team around him IMO.

[Nodge70]

Yes

[Morris]

Yes

[SM1882]

No brainer - one of the best in this division, and we should do whatever possible to sign him.

Pete, did you not say that a fee had already been agreed? Might be me getting mixed up though :waaaht:

[New Cross R]

Yes, worth 3 million in my opinion. Best player in the league..

[qprjim]

a must if we are serious about promotion/playoffs this term

would send a real statement of intent towards the fans and keep them onside and go a bit towards improving the dire atmosphere at home

[Robbo]

Of course.

Watson, Hooper and/or Simeon Jackson, and a left back... I'd be satisfied with that.

Or am I being greedy?

[NewarkR]

No.

We can all see what we need.

But what we will be able to afford then is the vital question.

[sirpiechucker]

He's not worth more than what Wigan paid for him back in January. Why would we be prepared to pay £2.5m for him now but we wouldn't stretch to £2m back in August 2008?

[Scarlet pimple]

Yes.........future captain.

[geejaybee]

As SIRPIECHUCKER said,why should we pay more than the £2m Wigan paid for him when he can't get into their team?? Whilst I would like to sign him permanently,a quality striker is more important if we're to improve this season over last.

[SirLes]

so we didnt agree a fee as part of the loan deal? great. wigan could value him at 5 million if they wanted. anyway, we'll be out bid by a club with more ambition than ours.

[Dando]

definately buy him. We have been a differnt side with him in the team. Sort out the strikers and let back (borrowdale is ok, but not the next level) and we will be challenging for promotion
