I’m surprised none of Watford’s key players have moved on yet.

I wonder how much Troy Deeny would cost?

Dacoure to Everton?

That one sounded close when they were talking of James Rodriguez & Allan signing for Everton.

Sure Watford will be gawking likes of Sarr, Hughes & Delofeu round for best prices....no doubt a few more will find a home at Udinese on loan if they need later in window.

If we were to sign any Watford players (perhaps Deeney would be a stretch, though personally whilst I’d rather he didn’t score against us I liked him giving the cupped ear to Holte & likewise taking it on the chin after we beat them, not enough of that goes on) I’d be happy because in Shakespeare we have the ideal person to recommend based on ability & character.

Going back to Brewster, I know you shouldn't take too much notice of you tube clips but he does look a very good instinctive finisher.

people moaning at 'Championship player' Watkins.....
Same as Rhian Brewster then - Championship player.....

Similar experience, but being quoted at £7m less, is younger and has had much better coaching at Liverpool than Watkins has at Bournemouth.

Would like someone more experienced as well if we are punting on players that haven't shown it at Prem level. Seen Feeney mentioned and King, not fantastic players but proven to be better than what we have. That alongside a good prospect would be better than betting the farm on a Championship player.

I think something like King + Brewster would be a canny bit of business, an experienced head to take the pressure off a long term, first choice striker whilst he develops. It's something i think Wes could've done with last season in hindsight.

Yes I know people that know him,my son included, and by all accounts he's a good lad but he does hate the vile and has a Blues tat so it's a very big "No" from us and him.

I think he'd come, and I wouldn't mind if he did.

I hope we get strikers in better than Troy Deeney.

Watford fans would be delighted to see Deeney go, which I think says everything. It would be a no from me.

yeah- he’s a decent player, probably would have got a few in our side last season, as he did for Watford. Also saw an interview with him can’t remember where, might have been with Carragher and Neville or something like that and he came over as a decent person. The fact he’s a nose means it could never happen. I don’t have stats (as usual) but I think a few more have gone there than the other way around (for obvious reasons)
