    Just read the exclusive. I really like this Athletic.

    To add, the story says he'll be coming as back up to Sarr, but can also play centrally as a striker or a number 10 back up striker.

    Heavily infers he could be Pereyra's replacement.

  9. Understand we tried to throw Andre Gray in as part of the deal but Udinese wanted a M&S voucher instead

    From my intense player scouting (one and a half YouTube videos) he looks pretty quick and quite strong, very direct with good dribbling tekkers, and he's obviously a good age at 24. Couple that with his proper carlos-kickaball name and the dodgy undertones of a pozzo-to-pozzo transfer and it's a big yes from me to provide backup to Gerard and Sarr.

    Am slightly sceptical about this one on the basis that he can’t get in the Udinese team ahead of Ken Sema. But if he is being brought in as back up, then that is fair enough

    Seems unlikely to me. M&S don’t do vouchers under a tenner.

    A decision I will never forgive the Pozzo’s for, how can you let big Ken go. We would in the CL spots if he was with us.

    I didn't think anyone could be worse than Ellington... There's always someone out there to challenge

    Pound for pound Gray's better than Ellington.

    Pound for pound Gray's been better than Success tbh.

    Sounds proper useful, our position was looking quite precarious if either of our star wingers picked up another injury, plus he can play elsewhere. From what I've heard he's quite good as well

    Must be great being named after two of the best things in the world: pussy and cornettos. Apparantly we're also in for a young Chilean midfielder called Lagertits.

    He's a winger type attacker so won't replace Deeney/Gray. A good option for when Delefeo or Sarr are cream crackered assuming he's better than Success. Pereyras replacement most likely.

    But not good enough to be a regular for Udinese ?
    £15m for a back up player ? Seems odd.

    I’m with you on this. Can’t get in the Udinese team so we spend £15m on him?! Why has he not been playing?
    Is this reported anywhere else that the deal is done
     
  26. Burnsy

    Do you think we are actually ‘spending’ £15m on him?

    Put it this way, if he was available for £15m from any other Italian club, I doubt we’d be ‘spending’ that much. There will be some playing with the structure financially and offset by Zeegelaar/Okaka payments etc.

    As for him not playing...who knows. Eriksen is easily good enough for Spurs first XI but has been largely on the periphery so far this season because it’s known he wants out. Maybe Pussetto wants out of Udinese and has been treated accordingly.
    Either way - I doubt that both are true - that we will be giving Udinese a straight payment of £15m for a player not as good as Ken Sema. No chance.

    Exactly, it's a free transfer in reality and we need hard-working players for our high intensity game that has seen us lose players to injury or suspension in most matches. Only a matter of time before Sarr or Deulofeu limp off.

    I think this is just away of The Pozzo's shifting funds around between their clubs and making legitimate ;)

    It does sounds odd, but then I've watched the same YouTube videos as Giraldi and Pussetto looks great in them. £15m for a player who looks that good on YouTube is a snip.

    I agree, any transfer between WFC and Udinese I take the reported amount with a pinch of salt!

    I found this link, for a bit of background:

    https://www.esdfanalysis.com/player-analysis/ignacio-pussetto/

    With Pearson's approach and philosophy in mind, this sounds promising:

    "DEFENSIVE CONTRIBUTION
    Under Alfaro, wingers are expected to track back and help out the full backs and Pussetto is very diligent in this respect. For an attacking player his stats of 2.2 tackles per game are good and his pace and stamina means he can get up down the flank all day.

    In the system Pussetto is seen not just as the first attacker, but also the first defender and he helps push the opposition back. He does commit a fair number of fouls however but most of these are tactical to help break up the play, giving his side a breather."

    And this reminds me a lot of Sarr:

    "PACE & DRIBBLING
    With his upright, roadrunner-like style, Pussetto is blessed with searing pace and he loves to commit defenders with his direct running. No-one in the Superliga has made more successful dribbles (59) after 18 games and only Gonzalo ‘Pity‘ Martinez averages more per game.

    Usually deployed on the right wing as part of either a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1, Huracan direct a lot of their play down the flanks under Gustavo Alfaro and Pussetto has been extremely effective in giving width and verticalidad to this counter-attacking system."

    OK hopefully a good back up player though I bet Oulare had a great youtube video before we signed him.

    Hopefully he will add some quality and the fact that he is not playing for Udinese is tactically they are not playing wingers?

    I don't know but that's the figure being quoted on here. Seems strange to want out after one year and the question needs to be asked if that's true as to why he wants out. It all seems a little odd to me.

    The £15m figure has come from The Athletic. It's not made up by people on the forum. However, you cannot provide a link because it's a paid for subscription site.

    Moving to the Premier League is not really all that odd. He's not getting regular football at Udinese. Ok, I know the thought is, if he's not good enough for them why would he be for us, but sometimes it goes like that. Sometimes a club or league suits a player better. He certainly looks the part from the little I've seen of him so he's clearly got ability.

    I think it's one of those, where we'll wait and see how good he is when he actually gets to Watford. He may well struggle here as well, but if he's another Pereyra type then I'd be delighted. A good option from the bench, and certainly we need bodies at the club who have a high technical ability. You can never have an overload of those.
