    Watford are plotting to hijack Wigan's £3m move for West Brom striker Nathan Ellington. (Sunday Mirror)

    Watford will make a £3.5m swoop for Fulham forward Collins John. (News of the World)

    We apperently in the papers have 4 or 3 million to spend in Jaunary so we can either get Nathan Ellington or Collins John. Hard choice for Boothroyd but i think we would go for Collins John as Aidy says he thinks he is a good striker that could maybe keep them up and i read couple days ago that West Brom's manager said he isnt gonna let Ellington go.

    Also says in News Of The World that us and Wigan are still chasing Darren Purse.

    Hmmm, I rate Collins John a little more than Ellington, but I doubt we will see either of them here in Jan since I am guessing Aidy is going to buy one of the promising lower league players.

    Ofcourse they are not bad players but the fees are pretty high for us although I guess its the price you have to pay thesedays to get good strikers.

    I've heard Billy Sharp (Scunthorpe) is top of Aidy's list...

    I'm suprised we haven't been linked to Hasselbaink.

    Just saw in BBC Gossip thing that we want to get Robbie Fowler on loan and Ray Parlour getting Parlour could mean Spring is going. And if we could get Fowler that would be good :)

    If the clubs invovled agree to pay about 2/3rd of their wages we might get such players.

    I thought Billy Sharpe was going to come to us for a fee of 1.25m im not sure if this is true.

    Wolves are looking to land Port Vale goal-machine Leon Constantine with a £250,000 approach. (Mirror)

    Could he be worth getting for watford only £250,000 ;)

    I also saw the Parlour thing, as he wants more first team footy

    I was reading a few old watford programmes and the feature was paul devlin and he picked Ray Parlour for his dream team ;)

    Sharpe looks a dead deal, issues over how a fee was to be made up / paid etc.
