Wonder if our two Irish lads are close to signing yet.
Really do think we’ll sign Tony Watt.
Supposedly he’s quite settled up here and I think more money and the Maloney/Caldwell effect will get him.
I wonder how that will work as both appear to be demanding a 6 figure fee.Quote:

Not demanding 😉 JK just has a 150k release clause as he only just signed a new contract with Rovers.Quote:

11 teams in 10 years. He’s settled at Motherwell and scoring because, for some reason, they’re a good fit for him. I don’t think he’s for us and I see him staying at Motherwell for the foreseeable.Quote:

If he goes to Dundee it will be fir more money Probably taking over Cummings contract given they are looking to ditch him given his drinking and turning up worse fir wear to trainingQuote:

Tony Watt is having his Kamberi 2018 moment. A small period of great form is a very average career. If we signed him I worry we would see the Hearts/St Johnstone Tony Watt.
Yep! That's my worry as well.Quote:

In fairness I’ve always thought he was a decent player but just lacked goals.
Would the fans take to him here? I’m not sure.
Right backQuote:

Not saying we should or shouldn't sign him but looks to me like 10 goals in 24 games this season 3 previous seasons it's 7 in 40, 5 in 12 and 8 in 37Quote:

Clearly, all the clubs with more money than us have passed on him, so his level is somewhere between us and Motherwell. Could he fight for a place here? I’m not desperate to find out.
Will no doubt be well known to Maloney, would not surprise me if we do sign him on the back of Maloney knowing him and believing that he is capable of forming a decent career here.
Agree hope we are after much betterQuote:

There's always a chance that Tony Watt could be a bit more of a Paul Hartley.
No, not a ****.
But someone who had a promising start to their career, went through the motions for a bit before screwing the nut and finding somewhere where they could prosper?
Played in Scotland, Belgium, Bulgaria and England, scored 60 goals and made loads of money. What have you done since he scored vs Barcelona? :wink:Quote:

Was about 8-9 years ago that goal I think….he’s still got a scoring record of 1:3 , not bad for someone who, as you say, hadn’t been performing until recently. I guess the judgement clubs will make will be - can he keep it up?Quote:

Has there been any hint of us even thinking about Watt?? I’d be very surprised if there was.

I can see Tony watt playing that left of a front 3 position we have in the new 343 formation.
Might not go for him as we have Muller.
Also have Mackay coming back along with Murphy, Scott and Wright.
But that’s Watt’s best position so it makes sense
