    The official site team page was updated on Monday with several notable player-profiles not 100% changed.

    Prodl photo not updated, bio not updated.
    Chalobah photo not updated.
    Pereyra photo not updated.
    Lukebakio photo not updated.
    Sinclair photo not updated.
    Penaranda photo not renewed.

    That looks like Prodl has been told goodbye.
    Lukebakio & Pereyra may still be on extended leave due to international commitments.
    Sinclair possibly in Holland so not available for a new photo.
    Chalobah still has last seasons image up which seems odd, especially given Navarro & Okaka have been updated.
    Penaranda was surely able to stand in front of the camera?

    Wilmot listed as a defender, not a midfielder.

    The u23s/u18s/women's pages are so far still all showing last seasons photo's and information.
     
  2. I work on websites and, while you may be right, Don't underestimate:

    A. The CMS they use being rubbish so uploads and amends could be temperamental and a general pain in the bottom to update
    B. The CMS vendor or dev team charging extortionate amounts for each update so they're saving a few up
    C. The photography team were on a tight deadline so just got what they could with who was available at the time
    D. The photography team are making some final image touches before passing on to the merchandising team
    E. The merchandising team responsible for the updates have just not got round to updating every player yet as they're juggling about 20 different requests while firefighting the new site glitches and anomalies, on top of the fact that they're not as obsessed as the fans picking out the slightest change as some kind of obscure sign.

    Penaranda isn't with the squad currently which may explain it (though I wouldn't be surprised if he's off, at least on loan).

    Bit weird about Chalobah though.

    Good sleuthing.

    edit:
    Black eye for Capoue. Possible bust up with Deeney? Worrying if true.

    Prodl, photo & bio now updated.

    Chalobah & Penaranda, photos updated to training session pics with new sponsor on shirt, not a 'pen pic' for some reason though.

    Pereyra, Lukebakio & Sinclair still in last season's kit, doubt if they'll change anytime soon due to extended breaks & being in Holland (Sinclair).

    I just hope Capoue is there for the EPL 'walk towards the camera' thing this time.

    His superimposed creepy smiling face on someone else's body was probably the thing I'll remember most about the disaster of last season.

    They're our two players currently injured - maybe they were away in some medical facility when the photos were being taken?

    Didn't notice that - who was it ?!

    That's probably very true for Penaranda due to his bad hamstring tear back in June (I think) despite him appearing in some pre-season photo's. Less so in the case of Chalobah who has also been seen in various training pics and videos since they came back and he only picked up an injury against, or around the time of, the Ajax game. The publicity pictures/videos were done before they left for Austria.

    I'm not suggesting Chalobah is being sidelined or is off in any way either; he was captain when he played against Ajax wasn't he? I was just surprised at the inconsistency of the pictures up on the site (though I did wonder if Prodl's initial lack of updates was a sign of an imminent departure).

    First team squad pictures all updated now. As Horace-goes-up-north originally replied, as much to do with the uploading as much as anything.

    Oh well. Along with anyone else who has read this thread, I wish I hadn't bothered now.

    It's hot isn't it.

    Well at least we know somebody in marketing at Watford has an account on these forums. Probably @wfcmoog

    Chalobah's head has been superimposed on Capoue's body. Or Capoue's body has been superimposed onto Chalobah's head.

    Surest sign that something is happening :eek:
