    The tone of this translated article from Spain is very odd :

    http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-osasuna-estupinan-suarez-transfer/

    Apparently it’s a revelation to the charitable trust of nuns that runs the combined orphanage and injured kitten sanctuary in Osasuna that some football teams exist to make money. Or at least won’t sell their players for peanuts.

    What a strange statement from Osasuna.

    It's hard to disagree with Osasuna IMO, because the Pozzo Model is basically what they say it is. The Pozzo's do basically treat their players as money making machines.

    So do most clubs. It’s how clubs our size survive in the top two divisions and the likes of Sunderland show what happens when it goes FUBAR

    Update on Pervis Estupiñan - is in the UK but has to fulfil 14 days quarantine before starting #WatfordFC pre-season.

    Might have rabies, so they have to make sure he's not foaming at the mouth.

  7. I can see a slow start, wtf didn’t we get players here earlier?

    He presumably didn't fancy a fortnight in sunny England as his summer holiday.
     
  9. Surely you jest? A B&B in Weymouth for a week would more than suffice for acclimatisation.

    I assume he or someone he lives with tested positive then, as a negative test means you do not need to quarantine I believe

    Or perhaps he is actually leaving and it’s just a cover story to explain why he isn’t training

    You do if your coming from a country without an airbridge such as Spain

    Everyone who enters the country from Spain (or wherever else is on the black list) has to quarantine for 14 days. You can't take a test to get out of it.

    You’re right, i just looked it up. Funnily enough though it seems there are reports today they are considering changing it so a a couple of tests a few days apart may allow you to avoid quarantine https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2020/08/19/heathrow-planning-virus-testing-facility-which-allows-travellers-leave-quarantine-early-13148102/amp/

    When did he actually arrive in the UK? In the last few days or 10 days ago?

    The govt will flip flop on their quarantining policies a few times in the next couple of days, for sure.

    That's so ridiculous it's unreal. If you take a couple of tests which come back negative a few days apart there's no reason whatsoever you should be in quarantine.

    Even having the quarantine in place is still a bit absurd for most places given how little effect the virus is having now and what the infection rate is in most countries vs the UK. It's probably just a ploy to discourage the general public spending their money abroad on holiday.

    This would also be convenient for the club.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Just because it’s being reported today, doesn’t mean he hasn’t already been here for a few days/a week or so etc.

    Only thing I can find on social media is him on holiday back on 28th July. Personally wouldnt be surprised if he landed in the UK last Friday.

    Our wonderful clubs communications department should be able to tell us surely, oh sorry they don't do that do they :rolleyes:

    Isn't that what normally happens? Besides, if he is staying here, he more than likely doesn't have a place to live lined up just yet. I am curious as to why he's still in quarantine when it seems all the others got back ages ago, whatever the plan is, it seems like a bit of a ****-up by the club

    Never, we don't **** up's............ Whoops! I forgot about our relegation :oops:

    Major Latin American sports outlet has stated that he will be with us. The video of him training is to be ready for Watford.

    I think the idea is to build up such a head of speed it then moves through space & time like a DeLorean.

  29. Estupinan and Ngakia would work well in a 352 especially if we lose Sarr

    Hogg-DEENEY!!! Squad Player

    Ngakia isn't really the type to charge up the field with abandon though, maybe he could become that player in time, but for now, I think he's more of a full-back than a wing-back. Reckon he could be a good option for us at centre back too if needs must

    is alive and is in a video just released on the club twitter (in our kit) for the clubs media day which is today.

    He may indeed play for us! Come on! (you need to see the video for context).
     
  32. Pointless puting him through media day as he will never play for us

    Rumours going round that when he was nearing the end of his time at Osasuna, he was heard chanting 'I wanna go home, I wanna go hooooome, Pamplona's a ********, I wanna go home!'
