Lot of revisionistic history relating to Tony. Didn’t perform well for us, all the managers couldn’t stand him because he didn’t take the training ground seriously and showed up out of shape each year. A number of his teammates didn’t like him(at least the more professional ones) - well except for JJ. JJ loved him for some reason.

The above will probably be said with most of the other clubs, to have so many clubs at a young age says something was not right.
Never really clicked for me til just now that one of the players Watt enrages into kicking him and getting booked is Michail Antonio
If I recall, Antonio was tearing Wilson to pieces down the wing first half. Second half we put a young Gomez on Antonio and shut him up and completely.
The Game before, Antonio had scored a goal from the half way line from the left flank so when Wilson and Harriet between them failed to stop Antonio, he did the same thing and put Forest 1 up. Michail ran riot 1st half but In the 2nd he made no impact as Gomez and with the help of Bulot kept him quiet. A game of two halves where we came back to win 2-1 and Tony magic feet Watt did his party piece on the touch line.
Happy days but they seem a long time ago now 🙁
I mean, they weren't that happy were they? Usual Roland shit, not signing enough players, sacking the Belgian manager after replacing the previous Belgian manager to employ the owner's special friend, a 13 game winless run, a 5 year old Karlan Grant and Christophe Lepoint on the bench, staring relegation in the face before a brief upturn in form followed by relegation the next season, two 11 game winless runs and the Karel Fraeye farce. Might have been a fun game but things were at the end of the arc of their impending shit spiral at that point and it's all part of the same Roland-themed disasterpiece.
I remember Bulot fondly. He was such a tidy player after the African Cup of Nations. Massive mistake not to sign him permanently. A typical Dushitaface mismanagement.
A shame for him that he has wasted a wonderful opportunity leading a very good life as a footballer, and earning life changing money.
I hope he does not regret this in years to come.
He played for his boyhood club and scored against Barcelona in the Champions League, travelled the world playing the game and ended up in the top flight in his own country. There may have been a bit of unfulfilled potential there, but I don't think that's a wasted career/life, jeeze.
Really wanted it to work out with Watt. He could have been our talisman. Obviously he has issues given the number of clubs he played for and has never really fulfilled his potential, which is a real shame.

I think that's more of a reflection on JJ being the world's most approachable bloke

There are a few like that. Ravel Morrison springs to mind. They are an enigma and can’t really be managed. If they could, they would be playing at the highest level. If Watt had pushed on then there is no way we would have seen him in a Charlton shirt. Still he has had a decent career and has probably earned a few quid in signing in fees.

"unfulfilled potential", put it this way, he should have achieved a lot more. I would imagine he has not earned the money his talent could have done.

There are a lot of us like that, in all fields of life, but still eked out a decent living.

What about all the skidmarks on Charlton Life? The Rental Properties thread is peppered with folks whose old men should have pulled out.
a player who can carry the ball is missing in our squad.
