Watford 11:14 - Sep 1 with 2252 views | enfieldargh | Think they are here to stay in the Prem Pozzo family now appear to concerting all their efforts to use WFC and the Prem ATM as their new warehouse and stock piling players to farm out to their various feeder clubs /other clubs on loan. you just need to look at most Italian Serie A clubs wki pages and look at the number of players in their squads and then the amount out on loan. Even those in their squads often comprise of loans from bigger fish Vydra, 5 million(apparently) already sent out to Udinese(spread the wealth around) in this window, now they are shipping him out on loan possibly for 2 million to fakes(grhh) They have already signed 12 players this window with 3 more yet to come in What is amazing is that Lloyd Doilley is still there. | |

Watford on 11:21 - Sep 1 with 2194 views | adhoc_qpr | If it means we can pick up Angella and Tozser cheaply then it suits me! Also them sticking to their guns last summer, keeping Troy Deeney and getting promoted is probably something our board might have looked at regarding Charlie Austin's situation. | | | |
Watford on 11:36 - Sep 1 with 2072 views | DWQPR | Seemed to have replaced us as the place to be for all the action on DD. Except that they have owners and a CEO who do have a clue on how to manage a football club. | |

Watford on 11:46 - Sep 1 with 1992 views | TacticalR | It all makes perfect sense. Vydra was a Udinese player who was lent out to other clubs, including Watford. Watford have now bought Vydra permanently so they can loan him out to other clubs. He is a buy-to-loan scheme. | |

Watford on 11:46 - Sep 1 with 1976 views | enfieldargh | I take it that vat is due on transfers so in this respect it's helping the economy. Is there duty to be paid on players coming in from outside the EU? Think hmrc are missing out on an earner making companies bringing in employees into the UK from outside the euro zone and making them pay 10% duty. | |

You mean the same owners that went through 4 or 5 managers last season? | | | |
Watford on 11:48 - Sep 1 with 1939 views | simmo | Angella signed a 5 year deal this summer and they are already looking to move him on... Smacks a bit of too many transfers to me, like Olly and Palace, they will probably end up not including some of their summer signings in the 25! | |

Wouldn't start sucking their dicks just yet. Norwich were held up as 'the way to do it' a couple of years ago while we were being berated at the same time. Sensible buys first year, bigger buys second year and all that. They got relegated and their star signing striker scored... once. | |

I'm sure Norwich have just loaned Ricky van Wolfwilly out again too - big waste of money for a supposedly frugal club. Swansea are the example to follow - savvy transfers, clever managerial appointments and great to watch too. | | | |

I remember people said we should go in for him. Glad we didn't bother. | |

Correct. The PL squad rules completely fck up their business model of getting another 30 foreign kids in every season. They've signed 13 players already to add to the largest squad in the Championship last year, yet have to include HG players, so need to include Connor Smith (22, 10 L2 appearances), Ben Watson, Ikechi Anya, Craig Cathcart, Rene Gilmartin, Lloyd Dyer, Lloyd Doyley in the 25 men squad. It's likely they'll have 5/6 of their foreign signings unregistered after today and having to be loaned out. | | | |

The appointment of Garry Monk seemed the most brave of their appointments. However, having been there as they adopted and stuck to a style of play through successive managers ,it is perhaps what we are trying to do here, now. Wont necessarily work, as CR + Les have been given a massive task of turning the club around and changing out playing philosophy. Hoping it will, though | | | |

I am not sure it was 'brave', more a decision carried out by a board that knew what it was doing in an emergency situation. It stemmed from the chaos created by Laudrup's agent, who, like Joorabchian, was a man who liked to provide a complete package of manager and players... 'In a series of damning allegations, senior officials at the club have claimed Tutumlu has been attempting to dictate and control the club’s transfer policy for months and they have now taken the step of preventing him from holding any authorisation to recruit or sell players. Among the most provocative allegations emanating from the club concerns a moment in the closing stages of last season when Tutumlu is said to have declared his intention to sell Ashley Williams. Jenkins opposed the suggestion and the incident is understood to have triggered a shouting match between the pair, virtually destroying the club’s relationship with an adviser Laudrup has trusted since his playing days at Barcelona. Further claims have been made that Tutumlu insisted all new players are signed through him, while he is also said to have met prospective signings without Jenkins’s or the club’s knowledge. A further claim is that Tutumlu attempted to scupper deals the club had arranged via other agents in Europe.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2340464/Swansea-cut-ties-Micha | |
