    Younes Kaboul (Watford) surveyed by FC Nantes

    Anxious to strengthen its central hinge, FC Nantes covet the defender of Watford, Younes Kaboul. His contract in England ends at the end of the season.

    With his long eleven-year experience in the Premier League, Younes Kaboul is attracting the interest of several Ligue 1 clubs. Good in the duels and in the air game, the central defender fuels desires.
    Among clubs having examined the case of former Auxerrois, FC Nantes has pointed the tip of his nose.
    After the departure of Koffi Djidji Torino and the sidelining of Nicolas Pallois, the Canaries seek to strengthen their central hinge.

    Younes Kaboul has been linked with a return to France with Nantes, just days after Watford’s head coach Javi Gracia appeared to cast doubt on his future at Vicarage Road.
    Gracia confirmed in his press conference before the Hornets’ game against Burnley on Friday that Kaboul was fit but not training with the first team and his future was set to be discussed ‘in the next few days.’

    Reports in France are now claiming that Nantes are among several Ligue 1 clubs who are interested in signing the centre-back, whose contract with the Golden Boys is due to expire next summer.
    Nantes finished in ninth place in Ligue 1 last season, but have lost both of their opening games in the league so far.

    Kaboul joined Watford from Sunderland in August 2016 but his time at Vicarage Road has been marred by injury, with the 32-year-old making just 26 appearances for the club.
    The French defender missed the majority of last season after limping off during the Hornets’ 2-0 win over Southampton back in September and his time in Hertfordshire appears to be coming to an end, with Watford well-stock for centre-backs.

    Craig Cathcart and Christian Kabasele have established themselves as Gracia’s first choice pairing at the back and the Spaniard appeared to cast doubt on Kaboul’s future when speaking on Friday.

    The Watford head coach said: “Kaboul is not training with us in this moment with the team. He’s fit. But we will see in the next few days what will happen with his future. In this moment, what I can say is that he’s fit. But he’s not training with the team.”

    I heard he actually died in October last year after an illness that lasted a few months. They kept his corpse frozen and microwave him for a few minutes before positioning him for a few snaps on social media. The whole this is a tax dodge and his official funeral will be a month after his contact ends.

    We should have gone for this guy, would have been a perfect replacement for Dje Djede and as we all know he wouldn't even have taken up a squad place.

    We essentially have given he's had over a year under the loving care of our medical team. I imagine they have bits of Kaboul in jars around their dungeon.

    "He has always kept a very good behaviour and commitment with us. He has tried to help us as much as he can"

    For 17k, 24k, 34k or whatever it is a week I would be a very good boy as well!

    And he is in his mid 30s - not some young kid who might not be very mature.

    He passed away a year ago at the hands of our medical team. No-one has had the balls to tell his family or the fans. "Releasing him" actually translates as "scattering his ashes into the Channel from a Brittany Ferry".

    Yeah but if you were on that money, would you agree to be the replacement Harry the Hornet like Younes? He deserves some credit.

    Fools. No! It was Larry Grayson's straight woman Isla St Clair who eloped with the walrus of love, married him although it ended in an extremely amicable divorce and she fell into the arms of the lead singer of Roxy Music and remarried becoming Isla White-Ferry.

    Bled out due to his bruised little toe on his right foot resulting in a misdiagnosed left leg amputation, and inexplicably instead of stitching up the leg, they accidently pulled his entire lower intestine out.

    So long as the Colney Boys harvest enough body parts to reconstruct Deulofeu.

    I think you'd still be short of a few working parts between the 2 of them.

    It's amazing what you can do with plastic, stainless steel, titanium etc. nowadays to replace non working parts.
