    Give it a month, when his agent has exhausted all unrealistic options, and he will make a video of how excited he is to be here.

    He’s ours, the FA signed off on it months ago, so nothing illegal was done. He can take it to fifa all he wants, nothing is going to break the 5 yr contract.

    Personally speaking, even if he doesn’t want to be here, why give him what he wants by selling him. Loan him out to some team in Peru.

    It's all gone very quiet about this fella. Anyone know the exact date of when his contract should start?

    Where's the bit about us supposedly being willing to release him from his contract for 5m?

    Too much player/agent power these days. You signed a contract, your stupid fault if you didn’t read it properly. Gino should make him stay, send him to Udinese likes planned, then sell him 3 yrs from now for even more.

    It’s obvious what will happen. We get €5mil from Angers, Arsenal come in and buy him €7-10mil immediately. He everything we wanted in a Capoue replacement and he goes on to be sold to Barca for €80mil.

    Take Angers to do one, and his agent. He’s a watford player and there is nothing they can do about it.

    I wondered when this was going to rear its ugly head again.
    Yes he's ours. But if he has no desire to play for our great club he go go do one.
    It's about time our club spoke up about it though.

    True. But lots of clubs are showing interest in Baptiste from Angers maybe we are one of them giving us an advantage in proceedings.

    He's told L'Equipe in France that he's not coming.

    Good luck with that lad. You can't just say 'whoops' and walk away from the contract when Watford don't agree. Stuff the £5m, we should just ask FIFA to ban him from playing for the 5 year length of his contract as a warning to others and leave it at that.

    True. What's the point of a contract if you can just make a mockery out of it.

    His previous agent, Bakari Sanogo, was according to L'Equipe "a close friend of the Gueye family" at the time in which he signed the contract with us, and also already represents Moussa Sissoko and Issa Diop - so he was hardly an inexperienced chancer likely to have given Gueye completely duff or misleading advice.

    Sanogo is quoted by L'Equipe in response to the case as saying "“Out of respect for the family, I prefer not to say anything. Football is made up of statistics and my stats in supporting players are 100% successful."

    There's definitely something dodgy going on.

    He never wanted to come.
    He and his new agent want a bigger club and more money.
    He has a lot of potential. He is like Doucoure, but with a good touch and more control.
    It will be interesting to see what Watford FC will do about this. Will FIFA or UEFA become involved?
    Let's see what happens..

    He has been getting quite a slagging off in the press here by fans.
    Most remarks are targeted at his agent and player with the desire for a bigger club and more money.
    Commentsc such as: Gueye is lacking in intelligence and a greedy agent screwing over another African player.
    Rumour is that he is close to signing a 4yr deal with Angers. That seems crazy. There are only around 4 clubs in L1 that can offer big money.
    Did Watford act against UEFA rules last year? That seems to be his 'get out' clause.
    Yet he? his agent, Le Havre and Watford would have known if they were in the wrong.
    Interesting.

    FIFA inevitably unless Watford back down first. They have oversight over all international transfers. It’s not a UEFA thing as far as I know.

    Much as I know it’s not the current regime’s way of doing things, I would really like to hear something from the club about this now.

    Is there anything they can say that isn't going to be prejudicial to whatever follows? I doubt it.

    I'm amazed they announced him so early - I can't remember the Pozzo doing that before. Can only imagine they got wind of his plans to try and bail from the pre-contract and put what they did on the website to add to the pressure.

    Fine he can buy his way out of his contract then pay us 50% of any future transfer fees.

    We clearly swim in murky waters with our dealings, and this is not the first time this type of dispute has arisen. However, it's quite right we should register him. He may have changed his mind or had his head turned, but you just cannot walk away from a contract just because it no longer suits you.

    He'll never play of us and why would we want someone so reluctant to come. Sell him on, make a profit and I'm sure this is what the clubs plans to do.

    It worked out fine in the end with Holebas.

    His lawyer agent could just be pulling his strings and chancing his arm while he still thinks he can. If/when he arrives then perhaps as with Holebas the player will just forget about it and knuckle down.
     
  33. UEA_Hornet

    UEA_Hornet First Team Captain

    True but Holebas was obviously at the other end of his career. And at least he had the promise of at least 1 season of Premier League football and exposure. This kid has probably realised he could very well have signed for a Championship side if things don’t work out in the next few weeks.
