Watson is proven in the league – he’s played close to 100 games in League 1 & 2. What the public wanted the public got.
Quality is a slightly different question and you can argue about his abilities, but what you can’t argue about is that he has significant higher league experience – miles more than Fitzsimons has by some margin, who I’m not actually sure has ever played a game of league football.
You also mention a ‘non fee loan’. I’m not familiar with that term.
You’re not suggesting that out of sympathy York are continuing to pick up his salary are you?
Or that it would be usual for a NL side to demand a loan fee up front from another NL side for a player – so this must be a bargain basement deal?
