    Back in for him according to reports in Turkey.

    Seems like Galatasaray made an approach for him according to the above website but they were told it had been agreed he is heading for Watford.

    Cue the 'we must have given them 1st refusal on Cucho' claims....

    Very decent signing IF he still has the legs and IF he's managed to find a way to stay fit. I'd be doubtful of both to be honest. And if he has found a way to stay fir, our medical team will soon see to that. We'd have to be certain as he'll want big wages which we can likely ill afford unless he's earning them!

    would rather spend the wages on a belgian youth player who never plays for us.

    To be fair, Vermaelen was once the first part (Belgian youth player) and is likely to be the second part too whether he joins or not.

    He's played about 35 games in the last 5 seasons.

    If he's on a low wage, short term contract then I don't mind. He's got great experience and might make a decent coach. As long as he doesn't stop us from bringing in a quality left-centre back.

    Good competition for Britos, I'm on board

    Need somebody to play the Kaboul role, that is assuming we no longer have Kaboul, or do we? No point in having a medical team unless you're going to use them.

    Can't see this happening. Will want high wages to finish his career. We need to steer well clear as he will hinder the development of Wilmot and others. Unless of course he is Kaboul's replacement on the treatment table.

    I reckon our medical boys could have him as good as new in a matter of days.
    What sort of warranty does he come with ? Best to keep the invoice and box he came in safely, Gino.

    Maybe it's the same buffoon who said we're signing Anderson Talisca.
    Maybe it's one for the fans to soften the Roberto Pereyra and Abdoulaye Doucoure sales departures.

    Third party fire & theft & 14 days return if we pay on the HSBC credit card.

    Can blame it on the gurner if it doesn't work out.

    Let me know.

    If he's old and crap now it's a 'yes' from me. I like my club as it is.

    Not really. I believe the fee is Pereyra plus Doucs plus £15m.
