Tony Watt

Got talking to a few Charlton fans down in London a couple of months ago & they said he was easily their best player so a bit surprised by this. He does have previous though.

 

To think that we could have had A. Balde T. Watt at the top.

 

One of his biggest fans on here but he's a waster man. He has all the skill to play at a very high level throughout his career. Completely throwing everything away.

 

A real waste and mystery how its not worked out for him

 

How so? What has he done at Charlton to suggest he's "completely throwing everything away"?

By moving from a team fighting relegation to a team who're chasing promotion?

 

Because * like this keeps happening:

He does have to grow up. His attitude has been stinking since he scored against Barca.

Maybe he is starting to take responsibility now but I won't hold my breath. Wouldn't be surprised to see him move club again next summer because he's fallen out with his manager again.

 

Yep.

 

Plenty of info in that article, eh?

 

Right, so every manager he's ever played under talking about discipline, attitude in training is just a major coincedence? Getting pushed out to club after club is through no fault of his own?

 

Charlton currently have an Interim manager who's clearly made a judgement on him early on

 

I never said that, I just said that there isn't much detail in that article. What did he do? It could have been anything, from arguing to fist-fighting. The manager himself doesn't seem to make too much of it though, does he?

The truth is, the boy I quoted that works for the London press hit the nail on the head;

Is he a bit rash and known to fly off the handle? Yeah, he is. He's not a drone like so many other players out there. He's confident in his ability, and if he's given a decent opportunity he produces the goods.

Guy Luzon obviously liked the look of him, whereas Karel Fraeye doesn't. Luzon continued picking him even after the training ground incident you've mentioned there, didn't he?

I'll tell you something else, I'd rather have a guy who can be a bit hot-headed and off the wall but who has a knack for scoring goals than some of the "model professionals" we've had on our books of late.

I'd happily trade Scepovic, Cole and Ciftci for him tomorrow.

 

Problem is when it's effecting his ability to play football. As it has in the past, he is very talented but he doesn't have his head screwed on.

6 clubs by 21 because managers have quickly got fed up with him, despite him offering a lot as a player. Do you think this is where he should be as a player or do you think he'd have been better spent after his debut at 17, to work hard on improving himself as a footballer and becoming the best that he can be? He hasn't got that type lf attitude, he just causes issues everywhere he goes.

He's the most frustrating player we've ever had on his books because at 18, in the short appearances we saw of him, he was more than holding his own in the Champions League.

It's worse than the Liam Miller *.

 

He seriously could have been a legend here. Perfect type of striker for europe too.

 

Well, aside from a training ground incident in August there's been no negative aspect to his time at Charlton, has there? He went on to play the majority of their games afterwards and only suffered a drop in form after injury.

In a weird turn of events he's left a club fighting relegation to join a club fighting for promotion in the same league.

 

Yes, well done Tony, he's managed to go through a full 3 months without incident before getting punted out on loan again.

 

Over 3 years since his last celtic goal

 

Yeah, on loan to a team further up the table! :smiley-laughing002:
