Welcome to Cardiff City Max Watters. In all seriousness, the ball hits the back of the net a lot.

Let's hope we can create enough chances for him. Creativity in open play has been not far off zero this season.

Not one from a long throw in or a corner though. Crawley seemed to be doing something called "passing" which led to a few goals. Could be a culture shock for the lad.
Welcome to the mad house, Max, presuming you sign.

Re: Max Watters

He looks a bit like a younger, shorter, less experienced Glatzel. Good finisher. Good short passer. Poor in the air.

I hope that is underselling him. If he comes....

His YouTube goals video reminded me very much of Glatzel's when he signed....defenders in rapid retreat as a result of quick passes from the back. Get Tomlin back in and the lad could have a chance. Otherwise, continuing with the current strategy will not play to this lad's strengths.

Re: Max Watters

I wonder why he was only on the bench against Leeds.

Re: Max Watters

(Think he works well in a 2 off Kieffer?)

Definitely HAS to be a 2. Tbh it's hard to pin exactly what he is. He's mobile, he can carry and get shots off, he's a good 1/2 touch shooter. Not really a target man not really a runner in behind, not really a link man but hes ok technically. Has a bit of everything (https://twitter.com/Blades_analytic/...67374859366400)

One of the more prominent twitter analytics take on the player. I have used bold to highlight further what they've said about the formation this potential signing suggests we'll be playing going forward.

Re: Max Watters

He was said to have been recovering from a hamstring injury and the manager had been using him sparingly. He did look rusty when he came on, not taking a decent chance to make it 4-0.

The BBC is reporting it as a done deal.

Re: Max Watters

Let’s just hope he’s more Jamie Vardy than Eoin Doyle

Re: Max Watters

It's absolutely hilarious. There's loads of tweets from 2 weeks ago saying how he's class and now he's awful while this new USA striker is probably worth 20m so it doesn't matter :hehe:

Looks as if it's done and the Jacks are still all over it 😂

Max, do you want to sign for Swansea? Nah, signing for Cardiff. Well, we didn't want you anyway...

Moore and Watters' partnership will make or break Harris.

Re: Max Watters

1 in 7 for Mickleover Sports and 0 in 4 for Maidstone last season, then 16 in 19 for Crawley and off to the Champ! Football is mad sometimes.

The same Mickleover Sports that just missed on the Champions League .

Re: Max Watters

Wouldn't ordinarily be pleased about the idea trawling the lower leagues for immediate first team places, but this boy does seem talented and a good investment .
I will say that he had a lot of time and space he won't get in the Championship for his YouTube goals and some were a bit scrappy but then he can only play where he's playing and no one knows whether he can step up or not . I hope so, and I kind of have a feeling that he will do.

That's where Sir Neil did his best business for us.
