Watson holds the key to spending - Warnock
4th December 2008
Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock admits his January transfer-window budget could hinge on the future of midfielder Ben Watson.
Former England Under-21 international Watson, who was constantly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park in the summer, will be out of contract at the end of the season having snubbed a new deal with the Eagles.
With the transfer window looming, Watson's future will once again come under the spotlight with Palace knowing they will have to cash in or risk losing him for nothing.
Warnock told the Croydon Advertiser: "It's difficult with regards to what we are going to do in January, or how much we are going to spend, because we don't know what's going to happen with Ben."
