footballs gone mad! who the F is ben watson

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He's a fairly decent player. £5m is by no means a bargain though

 

[Scottoffee]

Hope he got a Relegation-Release clause written into his contract...

Also - BBC's saying £2m.

£5m ?????????

I heard today that it was an agreed £1.25m

Ha ha and signs for Wigan i bet they pushed through the Mido deal before they went near that one!

 

[Scottoffee]

Good signing for Wigan, not as good as Palacios obviously, but the right kind of player to help fill the gap.

Better move for Watson as well... Really don't think Boro will stay up this season.

I thought Watson got poached sleazily by Spurs for 750k before the season started. What happened?

That was John Bostock...

"For the price of a bag of crisps" was the exact phrase that Simon 'Fabio' Jordan used.
