[NOT HAPPENING] Josef de Souza

Says, er something, which is the surest sign yet of something else.

Brazilian, midfielder, FIFA 78, whoscored 7.27. Homework etc

 

Oh good, another player to reinforce the strongest part of our team. If of course there's anything in this story

 

Every chance someone will be off. Every chance someone else won’t be fit.

 

Hmm, I'm not sure about the credibility of this article given that he's actually now 29.

Also, even though we love to sign 29 year-olds, I don't imagine us spending €12mil for one.

Having said that, based on these highlights he loves a good lunge - he and Britos would get on very well I think...

 

We spent 18 ******* million on Gray

 

Watford have made a further bid of €12m for Fenerbache defensive midfielder Josef de Souza. The club are considering the offer as they are under pressure due to FFP.

Man at Esso mentioned it in passing this morning as I bought my diesel and smints.

 

He's a defensive central midfielder, probably the last position we need strengthen. Also heavily linked with Wolves. Don't see it. Wouldn't be surprised if that website was another which has got us mixed up with Wolves.

 

"Surest sign yet that Doucoure is leaving"

 

Cue us signing a 29 year old midfielder on a 5 year contract.... i mean WHY?

 

Yes and only 3 caps for Brazil.

 

Once we start pre-season matches in our new kit, we'll get mixed up with Hull. Or Cambridge United.

 

Rather than signing defensive midfielder’s shouldn’t we be looking to sign a right back?

 

Yes. You can never have too many.

 

People unhappy at this should reflect on how, Chalobah and Cleverley only managed around two thirds of a season last year and that Doucoure is likely to leave. He’s clearly a very decent player.

 

This also goes for threads relating to the same player!

To be able to want to dispose of Fenerbahce transfer Josef de Souza, English Premier League teams learned that aspired Watford.Island representative Jenny star for 9 million euros from the eyes.Fenerbahce management with Watford officials is expected to meet in the coming days.The more a year contract with Fenerbah*e Josef de Souza, the picture of the yellow-blue team stability.Three seasons ago from Sao Paulo 8 million euro transfer fee paying successfully transferred midfielder, yellow-blue in the 134 goals and 15 on the way out to the game, 6 assists.


Not sure what translate.com was trying to do but make of this whatever you want. All I care about is the €9mil fee for a DM who has scored 134 goals, 15 before the game had even started and 6 assists.

 

Who is this Jenny from the island, ....Love island ?? Is she any good ?
Google translate is an established piece of software. These guys clearly don't know how to speak their own language. Too much "text speak" probably.

 

If this goes through then Doucoure will be off for 30-40 mill which means we can spxnk some serious wedge on a cr@ppy striker

 

Given the bargain basement fees we've paid for our summer signings thus far, we should be able to do that even without selling Doucoure.

 

Poor naive boy...Holebas said the same thing... so welcome to Watford...whether you want to come or not.

The Fenerbahce club president is called Ali Koc.

 

Mark Cox once played against Thomas Koch.

 

He could bring his own shirt ...

 

If we want him, we'll get him, end of.

 

Turns out it's not so strong...

 

I was sceptical before, but given the Chalobah and Cleverley situations we could suddenly do with a DM able to hit the ground running. Dendoncker has more long-term upside and would be a good signing almost regardless of whoever else we have in the squad, but this guy looks decent as well.

 

People seem to forget two of our strongest options haven't even played any preseason games.

 

Sign him up now, 5 year contract, play him for a couple of months and then out on loan to some Egyptian team or something. While he's there give him another 5 year contract extension. #pozzomodel

 

Haven't missed yet. Pozzo model.

 

Josef de Souza has been singing Fenerbah*e's head coach, Philip Cocu, praises this morning but in a piece in Fotomac (Turkish site) I can't make out if he's saying he's moving on or if the side is taking a new direction with him in it.

Personally I don't see de Souza coming here, there's been nothing but resistance from the player in recent articles.

Anyway, try and make head or tails out of this if you can.

"Everyone in the Futbold has a job description. For example, I am known as a defense-focused midfielder. But Cocu wants us to stay free and move on. I think change starts here"

Fenerbah*e's midfield dynamo Josef de Souza, along with Phillip Cocu, said that many things have changed in the team. The Brazilian football player, who describes the Dutch technical coach better than the footballer's language, is extremely gracious, listens to what he knows and knows what he wants, said, "Phillip Cocu is totally free on the pitch, he does not squeeze us into complicated and difficult equations." Emphasizing that Futbol's task definition works differently for Phillip Cocu, Josef says, "Of course, everybody wants to do their primary duty, but the field gives us freedom, for example I am a defense-focused midfielder, but I like it because I like it." Everybody says the same thing, he says, "I think change starts here."

Joseph de Souza, who is expected to be Phillip Cocu's bank, claims "you'll see Joseph more striker on the pitch this season". Sambaci noted that they would gradually try to fit the stones into the new system, replacing the stones in preparation for the match with Cagliari.

 

No mention of us or indeed any other club. This sounds like the guy is staying in Turkey.

 

Fenerbah*e need a replacement before any sale. Apparently they may be looking at Max Meyer and maybe then this will happen.

However, player who may stay can’t say anything other than ‘I’m here for the duration’, because he probably is.

 

I’d rather we cut out the middle man and signed Meyer ourselves.
