"We all know Tommy isn't worth £1.8m"

To quote Syrus, "Everything is worth what it's purchaser will pay for it."

You only become the purchaser when you complete the deal. If we decide not to sell him at your valuation, that means he is worth more to our club than you are willing to pay.
Call us misguided if you will, but it's our prerogative.

If you are willing to pay £800k and we feel it's worth holding onto him, then he is worth more than £800k.

Besides, he must mean a lot to you, as you seem so desperate to come onto the Watford boards and talk about a player who is apparently overvalued.

We are admittedly doing likewise, but that is because we care about this player and do not want to see him leave.

Hang on....Berks Horn makes a serious and reasonable point. If Buck is so sure that Tommy wants to go to Reading, he cannot be sure unless there has been something underhand....or indeed maybe he is lying. Only other possibility is that a third party conveniently happened to mention that Tommy would like to go to Reading (i.e WolvesRoyal's point), in which case there's no tapping up and no lying. Either way, there seems to be some unnecessary stirring. It's a pity, but almost inevitable. Fair play to Russo though for the statement.

Points 1, 2 and 3 are all fair enough guesses. But how about

4) Tommy found out Brendan was leaving, and said 'I want to go to Reading too.'

Not impossible is it? If it's true Tommy wants to leave, it doesn't mean Brendan forced him want it.

does it matter. End of day we go to watch our clubs play football matches. All this talk about smith and brendan is getting so boring. I'm just looking forward to start of season and watching some football.

Not much chance of seeing any football with Brenda in charge VinRoyal! Look forward to much passing back and forth across the field in the style of a crab.

Maybe at the away game we can teach the sideways chant to the eight Reading fans who haven't reverted to folling the ManYoo Yankies.

It really does look as if the board are getting rather fed up with Reading.

Good to see that they are sticking to their principles, and that Tommy is likely to be playing Saturday.

I would say show him your support, but he must know already what a favourite he is.

-----------------

the article is on the reading board. Ive come to comment on it because its current news for RFC

He doesnt mean a lot to me as you suggest, persoanlly i dont think we should be investing in a player who is only good enough for the championship (words of watford fans, not mine by the way)

Please dont have the arrogance to suggest where and what i should and shouldnt post on this site, these boards are for discussiona nd debate and thats what im doing
