You mean he's scoring goals in the Premier league at the same age Ivan Toney was playing at clubs like Shrewsbury Town and Scunthorpe? Don’t tell Lowerous!
Unless he gets in touch with Samuel Kalu's contact sharpish, officially he's 22, and turning 23 next week.
I don't know if this has already been discussed or not but I have not seen any news about it anywhere: - How is Cucho's injury? Is it serious or will he be fit for the weekend?
I we'll know more today or tomorrow but with our injury record probably won't fit for the rest of the season!
Looks bad. Out for the rest of the season and the only treatment is a 4 year contract with a Spanish club.
I believe his treatment programme also involves sitting in the stands for the first month of next season before he joins them though.
Apparently the after-care programme is having fans saying for the next 12 months that he's average, not Championship class and/or was a trouble maker.
Jokes above aside, I noticed his hamstring was heavily taped when he came off - so seems he was played as a risk. I guess given his form and our situation it was understandable....but when you see we had Dennis and Kalu available, does make you wonder whether it was wise.
Still under going investigation so probably is out for a while ? https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/20069933.cucho-hernandez-set-miss-watfords-game-brentford/
Nothing to do with injury though, just Roy finding one more way to suck any joy out of the season for us. He knows that Cucho is one of the only things left that might make watching Watford enjoyable, and like the soul-sucking dementor that he is, he’ll deny us it out of sheer spite.
Oh I don't know - its a hamstring injury so we'll find he is out for months like so many before whereas most other clubs have their players fit in weeks or days!
Called up to the Colombian squad . https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/20163795.watfords-cucho-hernandez-gets-colombia-call/
Can’t see how that would make sense unless our berk owners just want to cash in because they are treating him as a trading unit and he only has 2 years left on deal.
What if he doesn’t want to stay here and doesn’t want to renew? Maybe their fault for not renewing him last year but if he doesn’t want to stay, or extend and leave on loan, it’s not really worth having him around sulking.
Yeah if he doesn't want to stay then I don't really care where he goes, just get a decent fee for him. Sounds like Columbus Crew aren't short of cash so anything over £10m is very welcome.
If he ends up playing for the ******* Columbus Crew, I’m done. When you’re so shyte, one of your better players would prefer to go and play MLS in his prime, just to ******* escape, there’s no point in carrying on. Liquidate the club now.
Id be sad to see him go. One of the few rays of light in our squad of *****. Mental decision move for him - retiring in his early 20s just for a bit of extra cash now, when he would make more of the back of one good season in the champ / PL. I'd be absolutely shocked no La Liga clubs would be after him. So it begins - selling all of the young exciting players we are looking forward to and replacign them with Mogi ***** and bargain bin dross from Udinese.
Heard all the same excuses for Hughes, Chalobah, Estupinan, Suarez. The goons need to get busy on contract maintenance for assets rather than looking after desperate valueless veterans like Kabasele, Cathcart, Cleverly and absolute garbage like Sema. I am so sick of the excuses offered for our constant squad mismanagement which leaves us with expensive dross.
If he wants to go play in the MLS then good luck to him. I can't fault his attitude or ability - I hope it works out for him over there. I can't see us getting a player in of equal standard of quality though.
I hope we have a massive sell on fee of 40-50% of the overall transfer fee, not just the profit. He will absolutely dog walk the MLS and leave for £20mil in 2 years, if that. Anything under £15mil and we’ve been absolutely done. Edit: Let me clarify as my blood is boiling at this. If we get £15mil, then no sell on clause. Anything between £10-14mil got to have a 20-25% sell on. Anything under £10mil, which is what it sounds like, then has to be a 40-50% sell on clause.
