When he played well he showed real quality though I think them stopping him from going to the AFCON really effected him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he was in a big sulk about that as he's quite a key member of the team. Watford shouldn't have done that really. Dennis will need managing as he can be moody, but we've got the type of manager and atmosphere that will be really good for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His versatility would be absolutely key as well, and his numbers in a poor Watford side where brilliant tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still just 24 years old too, so there will be room for further development for him. At Brugge he also got some decent Champions League experience, and had some nice moments, specifically at the Bernabeu. He can handle a big stage that's for sure.

SUPERTOON Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The last line suggest to me we aren’t in for Cornet, Sarr etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Tells me the Zapata, Sarr, Cornet, Dennis stuff is nonsense. If we wanted them we could have brought them in. We are looking at next level players and playing the long game. Fingers crossed its not that long and we get 2 or 3 within the next month and a bit.

Yep that’s my reading of it as well. Obviously if we get into the last week and haven’t gotten anyone in, then things may change and those players will probably become targets if they are still available.

Yorkie Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Absolutely right (Howe). Pity they're not here for the start of the season but I don't think it's particularly common for any ambitious club to have concluded their business so promptly and having signed exactly who they wanted to. We've got three matches and two dead rubbers (Man City and Liverpool) before the end of the transfer window, so I hardly think not signing the Almiron upgrade pre-September is going to massively impact our season. Us having a fighting chance this season was dependent on: the January signings, upgrading Dubravka, bringing Botman in and ensuring LB was filled by Targett or better. We've done that, everything else is complementary measures. And we'll get em, eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 He's absolutely right like. No real point in getting someone in to make us feel better when the aim is Bruno/Trippier/Botman level players. It's just a shame that I'm also absolutely desperate for us to sign someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree but if we can't even trust him to make it to the end of August then he'd probably be more reliable if we registered him as a corner flag.

Cornet does have a clause and so there is reason to believe we are not in for him as that would be very straight forward. However, regarding Sarr and Dennis, apparently the Watford owner has been asking for around £30 million for Sarr and £25 million for Dennis, and so there is a chance we have been trying to get the price down for either of those two. Lets wait and see. Don't convince yourself it's none of those and then end up being disappointed. They are all good players anyway, and would do really well for us.

The Prophet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Sounds like we definetly have a target or two in mind like. If they're not in comes mid-August you'll be able cut the tension with a spoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
