[Albion] Tommy Watson - signed - contract to June 2029

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'm thinking if we shipped out Barco after 5 minutes then Tommy Watson won't be getting a sniff of the first team anytime soon

 

[Super Steve Earle]

More likely Ferguson, Enciso and Buonanotte

Not gonna lie, I want all 3 to stay.

Watson has been included in the England U-19 squad for the 2025 UEFA European U-19 Championships in Romania this summer.

England's first game is on Saturday June 14 - presumably he would have completed his transfer and will be an Albion player at that point.

Former Albion academy player Shim Mheuka is also in the squad.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Good lad, nice finish

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Beautiful finish. What a way to say goodbye.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Hi Sunderland,
We’ll take your match winner of your hands if you don’t mind.
All the best for next season,
Brighton

Earlier they posted a graphic of youngest scorers in the playoff final. They need to update it.

The top 4 have 2 from today's game, and 2 from the '93 final.

 

[amexer]

They wont boo him now whwn we play up there

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Great finish.
Looking forward to see if/how he improves us.

All very promising

 

[Beanstalk]

Some composure in that finish.

Lots of reports from Sunderland’s side this year that Watson has been promised a place in our PL squad next season. Exciting stuff.

From being booed to being a legend……

 

[jackanada]

I can see us bringing him in for a look and then loaning him back to them for a years PL acclimatisation.
Might have been pretty much the plan just with a different club until Sunderland won.

 

[nicko31]

Must be a very weird moment for him. Seemed shell shocked in his post match interview

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Mitoma replacement, innit

He only has 900 minutes in the championship to his name.

It will be interesting where the club see his level.

 

[dazzer6666]

Dropped the F-bomb in his interview as well

 

[Pogue Mahone]

And dropped the f-bomb. Which was amusing.

 

[pigmanovich]

Dropped the F-bomb in his interview as well

Does anyone have a clip? Missed it at the time

 

[Vicar!]

Off the bench, impact sub to start.

 

[brighton_tom]

Well done him. Lovely calm finish for the goal.
