The Club Website carries a statement regarding the player who appears (based on stories & photos in the public domain) to have signed for a club back home in PNG.

There's also a video (again currently in the public domain) of today's press conference announcing Watson as one of two signings for EMK Sepik Pride.

Interesting times, although his non-return can't be a surprise after his earlier statements about the lack of time with family.

Yes seems clear he's signed for a club back home - not sure if we can enforce the registration angle but we'll see.

I think its very very unlikely we'll see him at the Ecopower again.

The club needs to act quickly get some compensation for this and replace him with a marquee signing ASAP especially with the season starting on Sunday.

Boas is getting slated on PNG forums as his housery could effect the pathway of other player coming to the UK.
Hopefully he wont be allowed to play and given the current situation we are better off without him.

I understand the Family aspect I really do, can't be easy when you are that distance from your loved ones. Its a shame if it ends up with some mud slinging, he's been well looked after by the Dons when it comes to time off and the treatment and recovery from his injury. I wish him well, I just would have liked to have seen him a little more often in the blue and gold.
C'est la vie.

Watched the video and he acknowledges he is contracted back in England but has signed anyway.

I guess its with the intention of leaving his contract with the Dons, which would require us to agree to it by mutual consent or a transfer fee.

Looking forward to some of the Gleeclub getting the message...
He aint coming back!

They told me with absolute certainty he was coming back

Would that be your stalker, NB, who assured you Boas was returning?
He used to be my stalker...
As soon as I posted he was there with his creepy, unquestioning snide remarks.
Now he targets you...aided by the other sharks.
Aaaaah! That's better!

Anyone know if the club did eventually receive a fee? I haven’t seen anything but could easily have missed it.

Not seen any announcements. Same applies here, I could have easily missed it. Haven't seen anything on the Dons site.

The fee probably allowed the squad to stay in a best western hotel rather than the university campus at cornwall!

I noticed Watson on a video congratulating Misi on 350 games.

I'm sure the club have not received payment for Watson as he is not registered on Sepik Pride's website and has not played for them, other than in a trial game early in the season.

I think they are yet to win a game ,so why would you have an international half capable of getting results for you and choosing to leave him in the stand if he is eligible to play?

Watson also commented "Come on Dons " on the video ,given the circumstances it does seem strange.

Could he be returning to the club as his facebook account has lots of messages saying safe travels and good journey?

I think it would be wise if Carl cleared the matter up one way or the other.
