[SIGNED loan] Andre Carrillo

Nothing happens on a Thursday.

 

It's happening people.

 

Why TC?

 

Scramble the stalking squad.

 

Because ITKJim has checked his agent and it's the same one as Dame Edna.

Thoughts?

 

My mind was made up after a number of 'wow's' from ITKJim. Make no mistake, this guy is a world-beater.

 

Going to Peru in September, so would be handy to have a player that I can talk to the locals about

 

Imagine my horror when I returned from Peru and found that we'd signed Will Hoskins instead.

 

Have you been to lima? - there are statues of Will Hoskins everywhere

 

No that's Paddington Bear

 

Yes, I own a property there. The statues you speak of are on the street called Avenida de Avispones

 

ask yourself this - have you ever seen paddington bear and will hoskins in the same room

conclusive proof!

 

Talk to them about Ben Watson. I'm sure they'll give just as much of a **** - ie none.

 

When Brexit kicks in , where does that leave Paddington bear ?

Has he been here long enough to qualify for residency?

If so would he even want to stay in Brexit Britain where people will be hounding him out of his multi million pound West London residence which , strictly speaking , he is squatting in?

If he was to be sent back with the rest of them , I'd imagine he could still get his favourite brand of Harrods marmalade shipped over to Peru, but what sort of tariff would he have to pay if the UK has not even renegotiated an independent trade treaty with Peru yet ?

 

Marmalade unaffected if we stay in the Custoast Union.

 

Is the Custoast Union a treaty that deals strictly with the global trade in custard and toast ?

 

Where has Pads gone? It's been a long time since he was last here

 

Went back to Villa when his loan ended mate.

 

Carrillo is an irregular player ... He is capable of the best and the worst ... The best time of his career was in Sporting, and was guided by Marco Silva at that time. It would however be a good reinforcement for Watford, has enough technique and only needs to give him confidence and affection, for him to succeed ...

I'm a Benfica fan, he plays for my club

 

Thanks Miguel.
We need a consistent winger that can perform to a high standard. Do you think he could do well in the Premier league?

 

Yes, especially now that the manager is Marco... Premier League is very competitive, but have something that i think is very important for Carrillo that the Portuguese league unfortunately has not, that is the space to play ...

In the Premier League, the defenses give much more space and freedom for the opponents to play ... Here in Portugal is played very closed, Benfica is on top is the biggest club, always plays against defensive teams ..

 

Thanks Miguel. Are you hearing that he will be a Watford player very soon?

 

Carrillo will probably leave our clube, he is no option for the manager Rui Vitória... He have better options... Here, Watford, because of manager is the club in which the press puts it several times .. But I believe that will be a situation that will be solved in the last days of the transfer market

 

It sounds like a loan has been agreed & the club are now trying to sort out an option-to-buy clause

News of the last hour give the account of Carrillo's trip to Watford

The second news says that the agreement is achieved

Congratulations, good job Watford, i wish to André all the best. Will find the coach who has empowered him in his career

 

Just been told by a trusted source that Watford boss Marco Silva set for Andre Carrillo reunion as Benfica winger prepares for Vicarage Road loan

 

It's Thursday tomorrow....
Doubt he will play this weekend but ready for Brighton.
Unlikely to be used against Bristol City.

 

Mike Walters at the Mirror is a Watford fan so looks like this is happening

The additional confirmation from IRB seals it

 

I called it first. For once I could be right about a rumour. Mind you it's the first one I didn't make up....

 

Will be very happy with this signing. Even if he is inconsistent, being brilliant some games but sh*te others, that's a huge upgrade on Amrabat.

 

Trying to think of a pun but after your warnings on the Galatasaray fella'a thread, I'll save my Carril-low brow humour for another day.

 

Normally they'd be pouring in by now. Oh well, Nather mind.

 

Can somebody please make this happen,

 

Good option for us.

Looking like we could do well with most of the positions we were looking to strengthen.

Will Amrabat leave now?
