I think the plan was for him to learn from Foster and Gomes this season. That's why he didnt go out on loan. He's too good to be a 3rd choice.
Wilmot has played in 3 games. He can only benefit from learning Italian tactics on top of what he's learnt with us.
Well I can understand why we would need 35k. I read on here the other day that we can expect to hoover up Arsenal fans now they are doing so badly. The fact they are 5 places and 16 points ahead of us, likely to be in a european final and filled with household names and world cup winners didnt seem to matter.
How topical. Last night fate took me to the Beatrice Inn in the louche heart of Greenwich Village. The barkeep looked like Mark Carmode’s nephew & clearly was not a local man. Probing revealed he hailed from Enfield & was @rsenal. Red rag to the bull. I noted SEJ & AJ. We paused reverentially over George Michael but kept Geri Halliwell up our sleeves. Anyway, we agreed that, henceforth, Watford would be his Bottom 14 team. John’s simple message to Hertfordshire? ‘Come on you Horns!’
Beat me to it! In my defence, I was operating a lift during my post. Lost that crucial couple of seconds.
I'm with you all the way RC, but you may have misinterpreted my post the other day. The point was we need Arsenal to continue to be increasingly poor for a good number of years because they are the primary team we are competing against for their Hertfordshire based fans.
Capoue out with a groin strain. No mention of Cathcart, who looked injured in the Wolves game. Prodl and Britos both out though so we're running low on centre back options.
At least we didn’t send a highly-rated young defender out on loan to sit on an Italian bench for half a season.
Bugger. This also underlines the point I made in the transfer suggestions thread, that we should be signing a quality CM even if we keep Doucoure - with either one of them out, any of the possible replacements are noticeably inferior/unreliable.
Remember when all fit we have the 2nd best midfield in the leauge. But no Cleverley, Chalobah never gets game time, Pereyra is AWOL most games, that leaves Hughes. Quina out too so is Capoue... It just gets more depressing. Remember when all fit we have the 2nd best midfield in the leauge......
Oh and Wet Spam are right behind us now. Showing us how to beat lower table sides at home. Looks like final day could decide who finishes 10th.
Its true. Go back quite a bit and many of us classed us as just that. I fully stand by it still. We do an excellent midfield.
If you haven't been drinking, you should start. Whoever that 'many' was, clearly insane. Second best midfield lol.
Just hope we put up a good account of ourselves tomorrow. Getting rolled over 2 games before the cup final would (even if only slightly) dent confidence.
4-4-2-2. Foster, Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Doucs, Hughes; Pereyra, Deuolofeu; Deeney & Gray. Go for it nothing to lose
And nothing to gain either. Apart from potential injuries to key players. Do what the evil Bornmuff did today and give a younger player a go. Like Dahlberg. 7th is gone so any motivation our idiot players had would have evaporated anyway. Get Penaranda, Cassidy and Success fully involved. The game is meaningless anyway.
