Tommy Watson’s decision to join Brighton has divided opinion among Sunderland supporters, with the 18-year-old winger facing boos from sections of the crowd following news of his departure. Former club legend Marco Gabbiadini has spoken out against the backlash, labeling it “brainless” and urging fans to recognize the realities of modern football. “You can’t do that to players,” he said, reminding supporters that early transfer agreements are now part of the game.
