    If anyone can tell me where one can buy good quality lube in bulk and at a reasonable price I'll be forever in your favour. We're going through the stuff like a dose of salts and believe me, using any dosage of salt for what we're getting up to is causing some serious issues.

    Was OK today, looked bright when he came on. I hope for his sake that the club aren't telling porkies and that he really was ill, because otherwise, with what little he's played, you'd think he has basically no chance of ever being a significant member of the squad

    Yeah I thought his performance was probably the only positive of tonight’s performance. Looked good in tight areas, progressed the ball well and took responsibility. Would be happy having him around as an option.

    Agree that he's exciting, decent technically, looks to make things happen. Something different in the squad. Overall I'm definitely a fan. I'm just not sure how much of an "Ivic" player he is, character-wise!

    Perhaps the best thing to be done with him is to coax him by placing him on the bench and giving him minutes. Give him a goal and purpose. Having sat him on his backside for the u23 at his age is hardly motivating him. Tell him go out there and show us what you can do. You have the talent now let us see it.

    He looks like a classic case of a talented player who may not show the consistent effort in training (and on the pitch?) that gets him into the side. His agent should whisper in his ear that a few weeks of being the first man to training and the last man to leave - working extra on the side - might just get him where he wants to be. Seems to have plenty of talent. But he certainly lacks something that every manager he's played for seems to be looking for.

    Looks like he's changed his haircut from photos today on the Watfordfc facebook page - Now looks like an extra from JLS.

    I like the fact that he’s training and laughing with Pedro and Quina.

    I hope he’s really serious about knuckling down and getting on with it. He was tipped for big things. Hopefully this will be a season that we get to see that start to come to fruition.

    I would like to see him on the bench this weekend. Throw him on for a few minutes for Sarr to see what he can create out wide. His trickery should be enough for tiring defenders.

    No Deeney it seems so might be a sport for another striker.

    Like so many of the forwards on our books, he's more suited to the left as he's not lightning quick, but why not? Very interested to see what he can do this season

    He'd be like a new signing. For the 3rd season in a row.

    I don't know why, but I think he might finally come good this season and live up to his undoubted talents. Lets hope Vlad can get the best out of him, because if he can AP could end up being the surprise package of this season.

    .....pretty much what has been said for 3 years now. He can't get a game anywhere, even in Belgium. He scored a long range shot vs Coventry(?) Reserves 2(?) years ago. There's a reason no manager who has had the chance, has played him.

    I'm not holding my breath but we shall see, maybe he will finally grow up and knuckle down because there is definitely some real talent in him.

    Yep. All if this has been said for the last 3 years...We should just give him away with a decent sell on clause but I guess we are stuck with him as no one will match what we are paying so we'd need to pay up all or part of his contract.

    Considering what Ivic has said and repeated again yesterday, we can take it he wants to play here, is committed to playing here, and is putting in the effort. We just might get to see him after all.

    A no-show yet again in the league for our Venezuelan. What on earth is holding him back? It's clearly not a matter of ability, does he not fit the system? Is he terrible in training? Does he want out? A slight niggle perhaps?

    He posts videos of his personal highlights on instagram. In said 5 minute videos, he looks so talented it is ridiculous... however I would imagine that it is the other 85 minutes that would explain why he isn't here.

    He seems to be getting in some games over there. No goals that I recall seeing but some extended runouts at least.

    Could be the fact he has worked out he can earn a lot of money by not doing much, of which he is excelling at!

    Wonder if he'll be one of the few left at the club if we don't go up?

    Rumoured that CSKA Sofia are very unhappy with how his loan has gone and are considering sending him back over the winter break. Imagine that's his time at Watford over. What a waste of money.

    Considering how **** our attack is, at this stage I’d be happy to see him given a try.

    Shocked. Was really expecting to see him set the Bulgarian league alight and be trending on twitter by now. Still, any minute now I'm sure he'll come good and the Pena & Success partnership will be talked about for decades.

    Attempts to run forwards with the ball in a central area. Was why Ivic got rid in the first place. We don't want no positive play in our team ffs

    That quote from the Head Coach is damning - "I only want players that give 100%". Hardly a surprise though given his previous loan spells...

    I reckon he'll be back. Coach over there has said he doesn't want him. Give him one last chance with uber positive, Spanish speaking cheerleader and ex wide player Xisco. Presume his work permit would still be valid...

    I’m dubious anything he’s done in the past 3 years qualifies as ‘work’.

    It's staggering how many managers don't fancy playing him.
