Chances are high you're right, but I'm not completely ruling my theory out.
I do see him being local-ish when he leaves us though, yeah.

Interesting. Not one I was anticipating particularly. Too many injuries and not enough games in two years so far...you'd have to hope this is his breakout season.

Pleasing & not particularly surprising, I don't think. We've invested quite heavily in him with a fee & the initial 3-year contract, so we clearly think he's got big potential. He'd have been able to leave on a free this summer too.
Hasn't particularly gone his way since he's been here but if we can keep him fit there's clearly a good defender there, with the sorts of attributes you don't find all that often at the level we play at (physically he stands out but he's also good with the ball at his feet), and obviously a good age too. Hopefully we'll actually be able to start reaping some of the rewards of that finally this season and beyond.

Great news. He's a quality player who's had a really tough 2 seasons due to injury and being sidelined by the Morrison and Bennett partnership.
Have a feeling we're gonna get some good money for him in a year or so.

He came to us for games and it hasn't happened for a variety of reasons. Pleased that he has the same faith that we have that it's imminent.

Think it tells you a lot about the general environment at the club under Bonner and now Monk. I'm sure he's had a chat with Monk about his plans for him too.

With Watts injured we're likely to be starting with a Zeno/Morro partnership at the back this season.

Still lots of potential and nows the chance to make CB his own with Bennett gone and Jobe injured. Monk obviously rates him and he did well at the end of the season but still injuries seemed to follow him around, even the freak ones like the cut head that eventually forced him off during the Charlton (?) game.
30 starts would be a success.

27 appearances in 2 seasons is deeply underwhelming isn't it? Really hope he can put together a proper run of games this season. As Chris says, with Jobe out & potentially Watts falling behind in pre-season now, Ibsen Rossi has a great chance to cement his spot.
Watch him get stung by a jellyfish now & have an allergic reaction that keeps him out for 6 weeks.

I was hoping Watt’s Portugal absence was due to something mundane like footballer turns up at airport without passport or expired passport.

I’m pleased with this. He was the best player on the pitch against Derby, and that despite the misdirected header on the edge of their box that eventually led to their goal.

We have some thoroughly nice blokes at this club.
