What’s the best Watford forum to have a look?

No the complete opposite he can have his opinion the point is or at the least the way I read it is he was trying to stop people using the word underwhelming. If he’s delighted with the signing that’s magic but if people want to say they are underwhelmed by it they should be able to. Fuck knows how you read in to it anything other than that

Explains a lot

I’m not the one trying to bin words ya nutcase

Aye was gonna say we haven’t cracked maxi yet. Don’t need another one

Why? Coz you don’t like it? He’s an underwhelming signing to many. Get over it

Problem is Burnley played to Wood’s strengths. We don’t necessarily do. He’ll struggle to get a similar return with us imo

Yes, I agree about that on the fee. The point I was making is about the lack of goals within the squad. It’s already not enough even with Wilson fit. I don’t think anyone can disagree with that ? That doesn’t look like it’ll be an issue that’s addressed with this transfer. All I was saying

I believe so. Certainly on the left

Apparently he’s not a back up striker. He’s potential

Very much this. He looks completely average at times. If there is potential there fair enough but to spend £30m on his mental but but he’s Brazilian so there is that

Im not saying he won’t get better you’ve completely put those words in my mouth. My issue is everyone on here to a man has said we need a goalscorer this window coz Wilson can’t stay fit. Even Eddie howe has made similar noises but you know better of course

No but we could get someone than can only score 3 goals and doesn’t struggle v Birmingham.

I get you have some weird bias going on but are u genuinely telling me goals don’t matter when even Eddie Howe has said we need a back up for Wilson.

I get the potential point I really do. He could turn in to a wonderful player but how does that help us this season if Wilson gets injured coz Pedro ain’t it and Wood ain’t it either.

ok mate apart from the fact everybody and their Da has been saying we are crying out for a back up striker because Wilson can’t stay fit and wood can’t score. Now you are telling me we aren’t actually signing him as a back up striker but purely just for potential. So really it doesn’t really help our goal scoring problem if Wilson gets injured. At least Ekitike & Ramos both have potential and a decent scoring record. you seem confused. I can’t help you.

He’s been bought as a back up striker. Obviously goals are going to be consideration. As good as his potential may be Let’s be honest he’s struggled to affect games against Birmingham, Burnley & West Brom so far this season.

£35m would be stupidity. He’s scored 3 premier league goals

Yeah. That’s my fear tbh that it’s Joao Pedro and that’s our business done. Or Pedro to cover both positions and then a midfielder like Gallagher on loan

I just don’t think he scores enough goals and doesn’t even look likely too half the time tho I do appreciate the comments people were making about his link up play which is why I asked. I guess what I was asking is would people be happy if it turned our Ramos & JP were the two signings we made?

Tbf I did quickly change my mind about Harrison and I’m not totally against a broja I just think he went missing 2nd half of last season. Not liking cornet or JP at all tho but I take your point

Would people be happy if it turns out Howe see’s JP as a starting wide forward for the wing position rather than a back up to Wilson?

From the very little I’ve seen he looks good. He’s scored in the champions league and has a decent enough record for Benfica from the amount I’ve seen Joao Pedro he’s never looked anything but average bar a few nice touches. He struggled to affect the game v Birmingham City. it’s just my preference. I may be totally wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time
