[SIGNED perm] Imran Louza

Can some wordsmith on here incoporate his name into the song "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls

 

I can fashion his hair like the lead singer, if that helps?

 

Impressive that.
I'm not sure I could but I have hair like Rapunzel!

"FC Nantes midfielder Imran Louza (22) has signed a 6-year contract with Watford - €10m transfer"

Not content with 5 year contracts, we are handing out 6 year deals now.

 

5 year deals was very 2020. 6 year deals are now all the rage.

 

Good to hear hopefully alot of that will be paid off by Pussetto signing permanently at Udinese.

 

If I was to desperately scrabble around in an attempt to lay my hands on someone else's COG cap, I suppose I might say that at least a six-year-deal decreases the chance of it needing to be extended three years into it after his 3rd consecutive ACL injury...

 

Pozzo to be the first owner to offer a 10 year deal?

 

Troy has pen in hand.

 

It’s now official. 5 year deal.

Official: Hornets Sign Louza - Watford FC

 

Set piece taker!

 

“Louza is also skilled in dead-ball situations, taking corners, free-kicks and penalties at his former club”

At ******* last.

 

Looks a decent signing on paper.

 

Very nice.

 

This escalated from marble table to confirmed signing in rapid time

 

I'm liking our transfer strategy so far this season; bringing in younger players. Louza looks a decent acquisition on paper, has a lot of Ligue 1 experience considering he is only 22.

 

Pretty decent. Haven’t seen quite enough to be very very excited by this but he’s clearly a good young player, in an area where we needed to improve, with a lot of potential to improve and make the step up. A lot of scout types seem to like him a lot - we’ll have to see if we see him realising the potential he showed in 2019-20 or if 2020-21 is more his level.

Classic Pozzos - it all happened so quickly.

 

I hope his surname is not pronounced loser

 

I reckon (just a hunch) that it's an initial fee of 5-7m Euros with achievable bonuses pushing the fee up to 10m Euros. Given the gulf between base fees and fees inclusive of bonuses, reporting of transfer fees is always a bit woolly and unreliable.
