    Take your pick, following on from Capoue on the way out, what's tomorrow's big meltdown topic?

    I'm going with Deeney announced life captain, or maybe swapping Sarr for one of Wolves' reserves to get him off the wage bill...

    It might not be tomorrow. But I wouldn’t mind guessing Deeney will sign a new deal this summer.

    So that’s my guess.

    No way is Deeney getting a new contract - I think the club are pro actively trying to move him on now. If not they’ll let his deal run down and grant him a free

    The meltdown will start when the members that were adamant that we needed a clear out, realise that is exactly what is going to happen

    The forum is in constant meltdown at the moment, I swear the vast majority of our fans are manic depressive. There is being realistic then there is just being stupid and a few too many have begun to cross the line between sane thought and incoherent bullocks.

    To reflect the mood of the glass half empty merchants -
    The real meltdown will be on Sept 11th when Warnock’s Boro trounce us 3-0...

    Just saying :)

    I'm just disgusted that the club aren't giving us a daily update on all the current transfer negotiations, complete with details of wages and fees.

    Just interview with the head coach or confirmation of who his staff are would be nice.....but even that type of thing is too much to ask for.

    How do you think we all made the choice to support Watford in the first place?;)

    Keep worshipping at the Pozzo altar sir. I'm sure Portsmouth and Sunderland had their fans who suggested similar things to you.

    What's worse though? People taking a different, more pessimistic viewpoint, or those that get so worked up about others being less positive that they have to decry it all as stupid, irrational or a meltdown?

    Very different clubs. There will always be clubs that make a mess of things like the two you mention but there also success stories like Palace or Sheff Utd amongst others. I don't think are owners get everything right obviously otherwise we would not have gone down but I also think we could do a lot worse. They seem to getting a lot criticism at the moment for things that might not even be happening such as Capoue leaving. So far we haven't sold anybody cheaply or anybody we don't want to leave but still respecting some players wishes of playing at a higher level like Delefeou. We clearly needed to clear some players out before bringing anybody in and we've seen 3 of the old guard leave. I expect Doucoure and Delefeou (maybe in January due to injury) to leave but nobody else unless it makes financial sense.
    I guess it depends if you are a glass half full kind of person or half empty or somebody who is a bit of a sheep and just follows the crowd

    Definitely the former. I have no problem with people being realistic, what is annoying is the same users posting the same constant stream of **** based on nothing more than a tweet!

    Sarr and Saurez to be announced as Covid positive, 14 day quarantine means they miss the first game. Track and trace follow the original source back to the childrens entertainer at Andres party.

    That would warm things up nicely.

    Deeney off to West Brom on loan I’m guessing

    The big meltdown will be when Sarr leaves I imagine.

    Agree on this. Unlike a large number of owners we've had since Elton John, should the Pozzo's own us for another 10 years we will still be in good shape financially and still have a club to go to. They haven't tried any inflammatory rebranding attempts, keep the club healthy financially spending within our means whilst reinvesting in the squad and infrastructure.

    It's highly likely we lose Pereyra (Italy), Doucoure (Everton), Capoue (Sevilla), Deulofeu (Sevilla, Milan) and Welbeck (Soton) while we still have question marks over Masina (Genoa), Femenia (Sevilla), Pussetto (Udinese), Penaranda (Turkey) and Deeney (West Brom).

    We have been heavily linked with Sierralta (CB) and Stipe Perica (ST) whilst Udinese are reluctant to allow Troost-Ekong leave.

    It's one thing to trim the wage bill and help balance our books whilst also keeping certain players happy / allowing them moves they have earned during their tenure, but it's another to effectively gut the squad and remove a large number of long term players.

    Let's say the above leave and arrive. (Yes, this isn't likely all go, but possible a good number of the above might) This leaves:

    Foster, Bachmann
    Janmaat, Ngakia, Navarro, Cathcart, Dawson, Kabasele, Wilmot, Sierralta, Spencer-Adams, Estupinan
    Hughes, Chalobah, Quina, Cleverley, Dele-Bashiru
    Sarr, Sema, Pedro
    Suarez, Gray, Perica, Success, Sinclair (lol)

    In central midfield and wings more so we need investments there and we haven't had any concrete links as of yet which is concerning. Plenty of solid links outgoing but few incoming, with the exceptions of returning and Udinese loanees.

    Yep anyone who isn't positive about the club's chances and the owners is stupid and wrong.

    Just like the people who posted incoherent bullocks about our fortunes last season.

    Random striker from Udinese incoming ?

    That seems to be today's news.

    In fairness:

    1)
    As you stated, not all of those players will leave.

    2)
    How many of our players get signed seemingly out of the blue? The media rarely have any knowledge of our transfer incomings until they've already happened!

    1. No, but I'd say of that list Femenia, Pereyra, Doucoure, Capoue, Pussetto, Deulofeu, Penaranda, Welbeck

    2. This is a fair point. Stipe Perica for example.

    Just responded to you in the Pervis Estupiñán thread, but I feel that the sarcasm here is unwarranted :(

    The only one I'm that bothered about from that list is Capoue.
    Let's be honest, it could be nothing but pure speculation.

    They are both fair points you silly sausage :D

    The best policy is to lurch erratically and randomly between sane thought and inchorent bollox. That way u get the best of both worlds.

    Imagine the shrieks of horror on here if someone were to dare to suggest that this season will be instantly more enjoyable than the last if, in the opening game, the players don't 'take the (f***ing) knee'
