I hope watford gain promotion this season. Watched them a lot last season. I hope attendances increase though, therefore they will build/renovate the new stand. Goodluck hornets (from an Arsenal supporter)

Hope all you want. It won't happen.
Bolton
Forest
Reading. For promotion

Agree0 Disagree0

Bolton and Reading may be - Forest haven't a hope of promotion with Billy Davies in charge.

Dundee Utd ready to ramp up their squad with another 3 big signings which will shock Scottish football.

West brom should just close their youth academy because all the talented players just get bought by other clubs and we receive barely anything for them

So if we shut our academy we will save money

Evidence to support my point is jeremie Sinclair and yan dhanda going to Liverpool and izzy brown set to got to chelsea

kirk broadfoot has agreed a 1 year deal with blackpool and an option of a further year. One of the main reasons he stayed was that earlier today blackpool clinched the deal to sign gary macenzie from mk dons. he said "me and gary have become very close friends".

Disappointing news for Carlisle fans, looks like Lewis Guy is signing, where will he fit in with Cads, Symington, Amoo, Robson, Beck, Gillies, Miller & Salmon all attacking players, not exactly done much in his career, 27 now, any thoughts Carlisle fans? I would prefer we had looked into the non league scene and found a younger talent hungry for a chance, not another journeyman signing,

Believable0 Unbelievable0

05 Jul 2013 18:05:35
blackpool have completed the signing of gary macenzie from mk dons.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Any idea how much you paid us for him? I'd like to know how much our chairman WON'T be investing in our squad.

can anyone give me some updated information on these red bull rumours? would be awesome if happened! {Ed003's Note - it doesn't really give you wings}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They practically "own" F1 with Bernie "Mighty Mouse" Ecclestone and sponsor daredevils. What else do you need to know?

I am a Watford FAN and have just seen that 2 of our last years loanees have signed long term deals PUDIL and BATTOCHIO. I understand why other teams were upset last season and has since changed the rules but unfortuantly for them now they have forced this change all we are doing is signing these players rather than loaning them. Watford will sign another 6 players on similar deals over the coming weeks so let the hate begin.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not hate at all. It was only that two faced holloway who seemed to take umbridge with your squad of loan players. At the end of the day it failed for you and all your doing is replicating that failure, whilst the rest of the division, especially the likes of bolton, forest and the relegated clubs to a degree are strengthening and will be challenging for automatic promotion. Unlike watfobrd who had their chance and blew it against an awful palace team. Also doubt chabaloah or what ever he's called will return (he was hands down your best player).

Agree0 Disagree0

Who cares, Vydra will be in the prem, you bottled it last season, not going to be the same this time round. And good to see watford flying the flag for young british talent

Agree0 Disagree0

Was not an awful palace team. Are you a brighton fan!

Agree0 Disagree0

Palace were god awful! Got promoted by skin of their teeth in the end. Holloway almost undid all the good work freedman had done before he left.

Agree0 Disagree0

Replicating failure by signing only the best of last seasons loans, plus a full Italian International, Italy U21 captain plus two regular Serie A players from Udinese. Plus 3yr deal for homegrown Keeper Bond & signing Mcgugan on free.

Not to mention the 5 year deals we gave to 4 young local lads & the 3 kids we took away to pre-season with the first team.

Plenty of uk players in our squad thanks :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jul 2013 14:18:24
How many regular UK players do Watford play in first team? Not many.

Agree0 Disagree0

UK players last season - Bond, Murray, Hoban, Smith, Hogg, Deeney, Doyley, Eustace, Yeates. All apart from Smith played 15+ games minimum. Smith injured early on. Just Signed McGugan & Ikpeazu. All UK players.

Regular rotation by Zola means that everyone in the squad gets games

Now on the Watford Observer website "Pudil confirms permanent move to Watford"

Now that we are signing players is it possible for that the terms of the "embargo" can be understood and end these inane threads. Watford are signing players both on permanent and on loan with a view to buy

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Whether its with a view to buy or not. You can loan maximum of four. don't spend it all at once! Keeping loaning or buying the same s*** as last season. Hull as s*** as they are beat you to the finish line, better teams this season. You'll be lucky to get top 10

I'm getting sick at the lack of transfer activity at Middlesbrough, we've signed two defensive minded players so far and have showed little activity in signing the three musts; a cb, an out and out winger and a decent striker, away boro pull your finger out.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can't buy much when your skint!

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jul 2013 13:49:05
Is it just me or does others feel baz is over rated. I watch the greens frequently and he does a decent job but does not do a brilliant job in my mind for other higher league clubs to want him.

To be quite honest Blackpool have punched above there weight for a while due the money from there prem days, once the money is gone from then a club that is the size of Blackpool will only go one way (down). The financial fair play rules are kicking in and clubs like Blackpool have to reduce there wage bills. {Ed003's Note - Are you feeling ok? }
Are you having a laf pool one of the most financial clubs in championship the money from prem will not run out yes oyston is tight as a camels person in a sandstorm but he one of the best for keeping a club like pool challenging for playoffs for years.

Agree0 Disagree0

How did you guess. but my sons called paul from dripswich. could I know your mum?

maximus

Agree0 Disagree0

Blackpool will finish in the play-offs with or without Paul Ince and Tom Ince. They are looking at:

Wilfried Zaha- Manchester United (loan)
Leigh Griffiths- Wolves
Nathan Delfouneso- Aston Villa
AMONGST OTHERS

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone knows Paul from dripswich's mum,, :-)

Why does everybody think Barnard would be such a good signing? 7 goals in 29 games in league one?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Barnard was at Southend and was very good. We probably would have stayed up if we did not sell him to Southampton

Bradford city seem to be keen on Chris Lines, I have heard a contract is on the table for him it just depends on what other clubs offer. (Midfield released from sheffield wednesday)
Not sure how good he is maybe a Wednesday fan could fill me in. Dosnt really matter to be honest if parky is keen i'm sure he will fit in.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We had him on loan at MK last season. He's good, but nothing special. Just a decent player.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jul 2013 08:09:46
Any news if Nathan Ralph will sign another contract at Yeovil? Although a likely squad player next season he has lots of potential and, in time, could claim a starting place in the team. Hopefully, recent injury problems are behind him.

I was at the 'Meet the Manager' event yesterday, neal stated that he is looking for new number 9 and a new centre mid that's different to ours currently.

Had no approach on Midson.

Also Revealed, after meeting with players, he missed out on akinfenwa, hylton and ricky holmes

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not surprised. Who'd want to join you dirty lot? Any self-respecting player would have to be really desperate to join Kingstonian, sorry AFC Urchins.
