Tony Watt insists he has no regrets over making the lucrative Dundee United move that was just too good to turn down.
But the St Mirren striker says he’s now realised money can’t buy him happiness after revealing he rejected bigger cash offers to hook up again with Stephen Robinson in Paisley. The much-travelled 29-year-old seemed to have finally found a home when the Northern Irishman lured him to Motherwell this time three years ago.
The good times continued even when Robinson was replaced by Graham Alexander, with Watt enjoying a blistering start to last year’s campaign as he netted 10 goals before Christmas. But the striker stunned the Steelmen support in January when he opted to follow the cash on offer at Tannadice. It proved to be anything but profitable for either party and Watt has now joined Saints on loan for the reminder of the season having fallen out of Liam Fox’s plans after managing just five goals during his year on Tayside.
