  1. Atleti going full strength against Barca days before the cup final.
  2. Interesting that its against the former owners and not the current ones.
  3. Why wouldn't they? Chances are they'll get more of them of a higher standard with the attraction of top flight football. I'm a bit sketchy on the rules. I thought one of the loopholes - that has enabled their dodgy squad - was something to do with the fact they're not in the Premier League? You're allowed unlimited foreign loans in both the Championship and Premier League, as they're classed as full transfers. Aye, seen your last post. What a load of rubbish, man. It's like they forgot to finish that chapter of the rulebook, or something. So legally you could pick an entire squad of 18 and none of them actually be your players. I kinda hope Watford go up cos it will prompt a (long overdue) review of the loan rules. It's not particularly ethical, but it works. Udinese and Granada are both small, provincial clubs like Watford and they have benefited massively from the ownership - chances are Watford will do too. Can see why the Pozzos wanted an English club, relatively easy to get a team up by lending/giving them all the players and then you've got a huge financial windfall from getting there.

You're allowed unlimited foreign loans in both the Championship and Premier League, as they're classed as full transfers. If not, and new rules are brought in (has been mooted in the Championship), they'll probably just 'sell' the players to Watford like they did with that Foristieri in January.
  5. Not for foreign loans, unlimited.

  7. Best end to a game I've ever seen
  8. That was one of the worst freekicks I've ever seen from Kane.
  9. The mugs on Twitter saying we need Simpson and Williamson for the 'scrap' getting their wish.
  10. Defs be Pellegrini. Imagine if they knicked Mourinho though.
  11. Absolutely lifting patter this.
