Ben Watson
#37
Ben Watson has insisted that he would “100 percent” want to extend his time at the City Ground.

He said: “Yes, 100%'' when asked if he would be keen to sign a new deal. With the gaffer signing a new deal… myself being out of contract, I’ll wait until the end of the season.

“We’ve spoken about it for next season. Everything is in the pipeline.

Think they should give him a 2 year deal if need be. His experience on and off the pitch, along with Daws and Grabban is invaluable. He would cost millions to replace.

Colback would cost 0, would prefer to have both as our squad is thin.

5 subs next season = room for Grabban/Taylor & Watson/Colback

  :( 5 subs is rubbish, it favours the teams with big budgets/squads ie those with parachute payments.

It may be rubbish but it’s in the rules for next season.

Colback would cost 0, would prefer to have both as our squis thin.

Colback on £20k per wk and a 3 year contract is £3 million. If Watson stays we will need back up regardless, I think our recruitment team will look abroad

I would argue he's a 3 or 4 million pound player before wages. 18 months ago he probably would have cost 6 million.

He won’t be short of offers...

Just my opinion but if Watson stays I don't think Colback will come.

I prefer Watson to stay.

If Colback is available, wants to come and we can afford him then we should take him no matter what. He's quality.

 A lot of ifs there but i agree.

Don't want to lose Ben Watson either.
