BeloEmre Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 You have to wonder why Watford are leaking this if their stance is not for sale? Or maybe it’s being leaked by the agent because the client wants the move? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats far too level headed of a response and not how you respond about a player you don’t know much about. You need to say he’s shite and would be a waste of money and Wood levels of shitness, then let us all know how you just wish the transfer window was over as it has been oh so hard on you and it’s just so unfair.

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 He's a levelled up Ayoze Perez isn't he? 20 years old as well, looks like he's got bags of potential going off a bit Dennis Wise scouting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Looked decent in the 2 Watford games I've watched this season and had really good workrate. Seemed to play a bit of a withdrawn central striker role with Sarr and Dennis being higher up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I have no concerns at all with the players the current staff choose so I just assume if they think a bid is worthwhile then it must be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 So we may have lodged the bid and had it turned down last week and then after turned to Ramos? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Surprised by that like, my manager reckons Watford fans all have Sarr on a level higher than anyone else in their squad by a mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were posting Wood videos in January that made him look lethal as well to be fair He's probably a decent backup striker, not convinced he's a good option out wide though at this level. Think Cornet would have been a better buy at 17m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Can only be overwhelmingly positive or say you don’t know anything about him. That’s the only 2 options? So fuckin weird Like some mad cult. All negativity banned. Also he’s played in England for over 2 seasons. Believe it or not people have noticed him and even if you want to take it down the statistics route, that isn’t that impressive either it really is simple. If people think he is decent they are well within their rights to say so and if people think he is shit they are also well within their rights to say so and then discussion happens that’s how opinion works. Stop making it weird. Edited August 15, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I refuse to believe a ~£20million asset is categorically not for sale if you're a Championship club. It's totally plausible that the player would fancy it too. Like everything to do with this transfer window, we don't know the ins and outs of it, I'd just be encouraged that we're at the negotiating table over players we all, deep down, probably like the sound of. 20-year-old Brazilian striker with plenty of experience at the top level already sounds very encouraging and an ideal understudy to Wilson. He won't be the only one we've made a bid for either, I assume, s'just that this one got leaked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we dont fix that we will be in the same mud no matter what we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve mentioned a few times we really need to add quality to our bench. I’d be confident of Ramos coming off the bench and bringing some goal threat up front can’t say I feel the same about JP Quick question about the club looking at players that can play across the front 3. Does anyone think the signing of Joao Pedro puts paid to signing a right sided forward as he can play there? Maybe our efforts will go to a midfielder like Maddison or Paqueta (budget depending) We aren't spending 20 million on Pedro if we were signing someone of the 2 aboves ilk imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 51 minutes ago, TRon said: Generally the good players are hard to prise away precisely because they are good. Why would they want to sell unless it's a silly bid? Fair, but- good or otherwise -clubs have players who they’re more willing to let go than others. Watford have just sold a striker so you’d imagine they’re not in any rush to lose another but for a really tasty offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Not that I've seen a lot of João Pedro but I rate him much higher than Sarr and Dennis just cause he's more elegant with the ball at his feet. Imo, we're looking at him primary as a RW option. As already said though, we probably should've went in earlier to get a cheaper deal.. Still, think it could be a good addition.
