Wrong. Isak was brought in because Wilson got injured.

*And we were left with only Chris Wood. I'm not so sure we would've rushed in for Isak if we had Wood AND Ekitike in reserve.

 

I think, for me, a distinction between Ekitike and Gordon is all of Gordon's trouble seems to be on the pitch - technically including Brentford, too. I've heard nothing but good things about him off the pitch.

 

With Ekitike it seems to be the opposite. Will he have a road to Damascus moment? Maybe. He probably should for his own sake. But given where we're at as a club now, I'd like to think there's a whole world of decent alternatives out there e.g. Pedro so don't see why we'd tie our flag to him alone. Not saying that you are Kaka, obviously.

Pedro would be great for sure. Watford have been tough over his transfer fee though, turning down £30 million from us last summer.

 

Ekitike is apparently going to be available on an initial loan, which would be great from an FFP point of view, and allow us a lot more wiggle room to build up the squad this summer.

 

Guess we'll see what happens. I'm sure it will work out great either way.

Part of me is hoping Pedro has some sort of clause in his new contract surrounding leaving Watford should they not get promoted. On first sight, seems silly for him to have signed it otherwise.

 

Yes, if PSG are at the stage of ousting him, it's financially interesting for sure, which we can't completely ignore if all terms are favourable.

Ironically, now would be a great time to sign him as his stock has dropped. I just don't think we'd go back there after we got pissed about for two windows. We've moved on and we can probably attract proven talent now rather than hopefuls.

I always had concerns about this guy.

 

His career journey didn’t scream startling prospect. One good season for a mid table team isn’t a huge amount of evidence especially when the ask is 30m. I hope we don’t go back.

Prick of an agent giving him poor career advice too.

Would 100% take at this stage. Cover for up front and Gordon.

Gordon? We've got Barnes for that no? I would think we need cover for Almiron. He will turn 30 and Murphy will turn 29 this February.

RW, then cover for Schar, then cover for striker. That plus getting Tonali back would provide some good depth.

Has played 9 minutes of football this year apparently.

 

Probably not the man to save our season.

That's enough time for him to get sidelined for 3 months with us
