    The other reason is obligations can be linked linked to appearances, goals or league position etc.

    And why would any club loan us a player nowadays, knowing thst our medical team can put him out of action in a matter of a few days!

    And you can borrow against that deferred payment. Indeed that is what we did in December when we took out a €1.9m loan rather than wait till September for €2m from Udinese for the sale of Behrami.

    Why did we need that money and then, when it’s half way through the financial year . Hope all is ok with our cash flow / finances

    When I have seen him play which isn't often ,he hasn't impressed me ,for that reason I am out.
    Dont want him imo be another Ellington. We already have gray for that role.
    Use the money on some decent defenders.

    Tax write down & deferment on the books between the same owners. You should be pleased at the genius, not worried.

    I am no accountant but the ownership is not the same (i realise its the Pozzos overall) but why is there a tax write down and what impact does deferment have have. Udinese still have to pay up in September but the bank gets the money not Watford as we have had 95% of it in December

    It would be hard to say,but there is a financial purpose and they probably know what they're doing. All within the rules off course!

    Besiktas are interested in Slimani. Besiktas are also interested in Okaka. Sounds like we'll be giving them Okaka leaving us to take Slimani.

    Not being given his favourite toy doesn't look good for his prospects it's fair to say!

    So he won’t be reuniting with Silva at Watford. Doesn’t mean he’s not coming!

    If Leicester want near to £29m for him, then I am glad we are going not getting him. Silva may go etc etc but I wouldn’t say this is linked at all. He’s far too expensive for what he is and thankfully it seems we know that.

    Agree. I’d be disappointed if we paid more than 15 for him. The fact Leicester so grossly overpaid for him is their problem not ours.

    I even think that's too much. Give them £5m and Crapoue.

    Fine but we need a striker who can score - who do you suggest we buy and how much will they cost ?

    I think we now know why this deal died.

    Any coach who was demanding the club spend £20m+ on a 29 year old player who was a bit **** and expect them to get us out of a hole should be sacked.

    Chelsea want literally anyone

    Sky Sports report he's going to Newcastle.

    Leicester probably want to relegate us.

    So that's another relegation rival that now has better strikers than us. Worrying times.

    I heard WHU want him too.

    Worrying if true.

    Hopefully another in the long line of players who hint they might be prepared to go there, then come to their senses and go elsewhere or stay put. He would be a massive signing for them.

    Now that we're not interested I can confirm that Slimani is crap and we're better off with Deeney. Let Newcastle have him, he'll score 3 at most for them.

    I think I prefer Newcastle not having him though. Joselu is terrible!

    BBC now saying this is close. Would have been a good loan signing for us if we can loan out Okaka. Maybe still a late sneaky deal for Gabbiadini ??
