Village Idiot Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Óscar García appointed Watford manager. I'm curious to see how he does there, he was one of our most successful youth setup managers. His stint at Brighton Hove ended pretty weirdly.

Parsley Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Óscar García appointed Watford manager. I'm curious to see how he does there, he was one of our most successful youth setup managers. His stint at Brighton Hove ended pretty weirdly. Watford have a talented, if pretty bloated squad with some good technical players for the division (Forestieri, Vydra, Abdi, Deeney etc). The players were rumoured to have hated their old manager, Sannino, but are still sitting 2nd in the table. Garcia would be a good fit imo, but Watford should be making the playoffs at the very least this season so there's some pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Any decent manager should take that Watford team up IMO. There's two very good Championship XIs in their squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be 2016 until Newcastle buy another player. This guy needs to go on the list with that Manchester United and Liverpool Fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The case of Welbeck’s close friend, Daniel Sturridge, is potentially also instructive. Like Welbeck at United, Sturridge was rarely trusted to play in his preferred position at either Manchester City or Chelsea. He became peripheral and, when he left in search of first-team football, it was easy to justify the sale. Sturridge scored six times in 32 games at Manchester City and then 24 in 96 at Chelsea. It made for a ratio of less than a goal every four games. Welbeck’s strike-rate of just over a goal every five games is almost identical. Also almost identical is the age at which they have started a new chapter in their careers. Sturridge was 23 – the same age as Welbeck now – when he moved to Liverpool and has subsequently rewarded Brendan Rodgers’s faith with 36 goals in 52 matches. It has been a threefold improvement. “I’ve grown up with Welbs and I think he’s unbelievably talented,” Sturridge says. “We’ve been in similar situations, both wanting to play centrally but being on the wing. Mentally, it plays with you sometimes.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sturridge had shown far more than Welbeck during his loan at Bolton and even his first season back at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sturridge had shown far more than Welbeck during his loan at Bolton and even his first season back at Chelsea. as I recall sturridge looked rather excellent as a wide forward but got in a bit of a huff because he didn't want to play in that position. Welbecks been a good team player but never ever resembled a striker who can score 20+ a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 By the way, there's been a lot of chaos in La Liga because of the new domestic financial rules. Clubs have now a wage bill limit derived from their revenue and there's been a boatload of last-minute transfers, releases, etc... because clubs found out they were exceeding it. Pedro León has been left out Getafe's La Liga squad because of this (which I'm not sure is completely legal). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Horrible and lazy comparison. Sturridge scored 1 in 3 as a wide forward under AVB FOR Chelsea and 2 in 3 for Bolton. Especially at Bolton he looked like a top finisher. Could never say that about Welbeck and I would've loved him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
