I'm really suprised we are bringing Watts back. From what we saw of him he seemed a big stopper, but limited with the ball. I hear it repeated that he was good on the ball but i don't think we ever saw that.
Based on how Maloney has completely ignored Tilt since he arrived it seemed we were looking for more than big stoppers.
I'd have thought Maloney would've wanted someone who is more of a 'modern' centre half like Rekik was and i don't think that is you'd call Watts.
Maybe Watts has more in his locker than he previously showed and he is more capable on the ball but never got a chance to show it as he was drilled to hit it long every time it got to him. Guess we'll see.
I can't get my head around the bit where it says he's signing a loan that becomes a permanent deal in a year. From everyone's perspective you'd think just a loan would make the most sense, as if we lock a deal now and it goes badly we are stuck with a player we wouldn't want. With the flip side being if it goes well Newcastle wouldn't be able to recall and sell him in January or the player able to wait until next summer and get to pick his club.
