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)

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

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,

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 :-)

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

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.

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)
