https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.c...s-rejected-by-mainz-for-jean-philippe-mateta/ Watford apparently one of a few British clubs to have placed a 20m+ bid for the 6ft 4 Mainz striker.
Watford's twinned with Mainz, isn't it? They should send him here on a two year "exchange visit" with Okaka going the other way.
When you have an impeccable source such as getfootballnewsfrance.com reporting on German football, you just know this is more than simple clickbait.
The thought of Cardiff supposedly bidding between €20mil-€25mil for him only gives it further credibility.
Indeed so, were it not an English blog about French football, with as many as 7 readers, which claims to have had a private conversation with the owners of a German football club.
Ignore him Reids. You see Mr Lizard here only likes to pop his head up every now and then to look down on people for wishing to talk football and Watford. It seems he thinks it’s a pathetic thing to be doing without realising that it’s far more pathetic to bemoan everything you read on here believing it’s cool to act like some sort of anti-hero. You should get into a discussion with him via PM on here - he gets really interesting then.
I would jump on the bandwagon and rip into Lizard too, but I hear he can be a useful and reliable source for an away ticket. So I will refrain.
Shame. Jean Philippe-Mateta is my favourite phrase. Unfortunately it appears it was just a passing craze.
Stop these half-baked ideas now you mean? A mash up of the best posts may be in order to reach a conclusion.
