Watt was effectively 'signed' by Russell Slade and was told "We'll be back in the summer"

I think Paul Trollope is having more input on new players than we have given him credit for to date, so I'm thinking he simply was no longer wanted ;)

Hearts statement:

Robbie Neilson has bolstered his attacking options with the capture of Tony Watt on a loan deal.

The Scotland striker joins the Jambos for the season, moving north from parent club Charlton Athletic.

A familiar face to supporters, 22-year-old Tony made the breakthrough at Celtic back in April 2012, scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Motherwell.

The following season he famously bagged the winner against Barcelona in a Champions League match, before enjoying spells at Lierse, Standard Liege, Cardiff City, Blackburn Rovers and Charlton.

How can he join Hearts on a season long loan if his contract has expired? I'm confused?

That's what I don't get he was in his final year of his contract unless Charlton renewed it ?

why didnt he come here? a quality player who carried the team for a period last season, and available on loan, too.

he may be one of those players that has a big impact upon signing, then tails off.
