3 points and supposedly bidding £7mil for a CB https://mobile.twitter.com/louorns/status/1280618270526185475
Not the same source who said we were getting Selim Amallah in a few days? Anyways Atalanta are heavily linked to him.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-made-e7-5m-bid-centre-back-club-expected-want-least-e10m/ It looks like a typical Pozzo deal. Watford/Udinese to loan Hamburg a couple of players to help settle a debt Santos have with the German club.
Literally signed a new deal at Santos last month so would be strange that they would sell him a month or two later!
By the Watford FC Forums rulebook, it's to ensure a high transfer fee. Although in the cases where it was used for our players, we didn't sell them.
Having financial difficulty. Was only to boost the price. They want €10m according to reports and their president said they’ll sell him
http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-made-e7-5m-bid-centre-back-club-expected-want-least-e10m/ Whether he's any good or not, which club he would end up at or what price would be paid, reading the final two paragraphs of the Sport Witness piece makes it look like a typical Pozzo deal where they just love to make things convoluted... "It’s also said that there could be a discount in this deal in case Watford help Santos to settle a debt they have with Hamburg. That would happen with Watford or Udinese loaning players to the German side. Santos have a debt of €4.5m with the Bundesliga club, and are currently forbidden of making any signings until an agreement is reached." Whatever happened to Scout Player, Talk to player, Buy player, Be happy. I guess it could be a way of getting one or two players off the books if we catch Hamburg on a bad day.
They're only in the Bundesliga 2, so even our dross will probably do alright for them. Two out of Pussetto, Penaranda, Dahlberg and Bachmann should do the trick.
Stick a pin in the Watford squad list a couple of times and they'll do, whoever they are. I was thinking Jerome Sinclair & Isaac Success (providing his fitness is good enough) could be added to your list. Maybe send a couple of our world beating youngsters - Stuparevic & Dele-Bashiru maybe.
I'd rather Success had a loan in the Championship (that is if we don't end up there ourselves). Same with Dele-Bashiru. Sinclair might be suitable, I'd forgotten he was still on our books. I've got no idea where Stuparevic is in his development now.
