As earlier reported from several outlets, this website and a number of ITK accounts, Tommy Watson to Leicester from Brighton on loan is now officially confirmed. The 20 year old is an England U21 international, and will be a very interesting addition to this squad.

This is a good and quality loan signing that will be interesting to follow this season. Last season he was back at Brighton from the start, playing 6 times in Premier League. Later loaned out to Millwall completing 12 EFL Championship games for The Lions.

Russell Martin looks to have copied what we said back in May, not that he has done the signings of the players suggested, but profiles of those type of players are in real very similar. We do believe in this model of squad building and it will work if the players you sign are on a level they believe is their own benchmark, that will potentially secure good results.

Tommy Watson is linked with Leicester and could be a solid option as a flank alternative. He fits our current squad needs well. We also believe that two more sigings are needed at this point to get the squad complete. Another young defender in on loan as well as a top striker option.

There are still work to do to get this complete. In an ideal set up, players must be in balance with their own thinking and belief. If a player see himself somewhere else than he is at the moment, energy and focus will fade and you will be in trouble as a manager. You can’t change people’s minds, you need to understand when those decisions must be made.
