    So is Northern Cyprus. It's not a vague geographical description, it's the name of a (mostly unrecognised) territory

    Yesterday we were all happily agreeing that Silva is a ****. Now we're in acrimonious argument about a capital letter. Plus ca change...

    Both would be very good.

    I’m more transdirectional-curious.

    I like Holebas but, to quote the sainted David Bowie, all things must pass.

    I remember fondly the bit when he kicked the ball into the dustbin from 10 yards whilst doing the odd, roll up thing with his shorts.

    A man but a child.

    Thanks for reminding me of the important things in life, like hating Silva.

    Tell that to Carrillo, who prefers to dribble until he loses it

    I've heard Christopher Reeve was a fantastic dribbler.

    Agree it's not funny, but disagree that it should be deleted.

    Life is ****. Black humour is a very effective way of dealing with the senselessness and futility of life.

    I'd pay a club to take him from us, so to receive a transfer fee is ludicrously good business.

    As long as we replace him with better, not another Zeegelaar.

    Google Translate of this article says:

    Watford's 33-year-old actor, the first transfer of Fatih Terim, announced his agreement with Holebas. Galatasaray's announcement will put José Holebas in the yellow-red squad for six months.

    http://www.portalgenc.com/fatih-terimin-galatasaraydaki-ilk-transferi-jose-holebas-h9713.html/

    I'm guessing they mean the Galatasaray yellow-red squad rather than the Watford yellow-reds? Good to see they're calling him an actor, presumably they watched the highlights of him lying on the floor feigning an eye injury against Huddersfield.

    Quite a lot of reports saying the deal is off now.
    After talks the Galatasaray manager has decided he doesn't want him.

    He probably just sat there with his earphones on looking vacant.

    Not surprised. This could really balls up plans for a new left back coming in this month.

    All not well within the Watford squad. I’m hearing that Holebas isn’t wanted by Fatih.

    I'm happy Holebas is staying. Think he could do well in a 4 4 2 and actually has a bit of passion about him.

    I enjoyed the passion he showed against Huddersfield where he just lay down in the box while their player went past him. Can’t stand the bloke

    Or after he fails to stop yet another cross into the box.

    Yes, but what about his leisurewear collection? Fancy us having a player with a leisurewear collection! We’re not ‘Little old Watford’ anymore!

  33. One of our most technically gifted players of the last three seasons, and one of the most professionally and emotionally committed on a match day. Been close to player of the season too.

    I like him not only because he's got some bite but because he's also a very capable player, with excellent, eye catching technique. You will not find many football coaches having anything negative to say about Holebas on the pitch.

    Great player. One of the best Pozzo signings; ten times more effective than Pereyra.

    He's still probably marginally better than Zeegelaar.

    We need an upgrade on both.

    Marginally? I like Holebas and his passion - Huddersfield was very out of character. But he is an average LB who is ageing. And even then he is so much better than Zeegelaar, who literally cannot defend, knows it, so doesn’t even really try. Awful signing of which we were warned at the time.
