Yes, more than likely it's Leventhal trying to keep people interested in his deadline day stuff on The Athletic.
Not really. It’s 25 mins into his Athletic deadline day stuff which is mainly catered to the ‘big’ clubs with big fan bases.
To be honest, I doubt there’s much mileage in making up stories about Watford to keep people interested in The Athletic. You’d make up stories about bigger clubs and better players.
The trusty @LouOrns clipped it: https://twitter.com/louorns/status/1565340434305454080?t=S50kENUIhDIURlUwPVTzCw&s=19
It was part of his hour long Deadline Day Live video in which he interview Athletic club-specific journalists.
So on The Athletic, got it. That won't make anyone want to check in and see if there are anymore Watford updates obviously.
One could only conclude if we don't sign anyone that the club have somehow concluded Gaspar+Kamara+Ngakia is sufficient, even though none of them individually are ideal. We were also linked with Christie who we could have also surely signed if we wanted him.
On another note unless I’m missing anyone we’ve cleared our squad of 21 players this window. Dennis King Sissoko Cucho Samir Fletcher (loan) Penaranda Pussetto (loan) Masina Zinckernagel Kiko Baah (loan) N’Koulou Gray Kucka Elliott Dahlberg Quina (loan) Rose Foster Cukur
Safe to say, with 6 hours to go, we’re clearly done. Nothing will happen now, as much as it pains me, there is clearly no interest in signing a RWB or any player for that matter.
Edwards is currently begging Gino for a RWB as we speak. Mogi is sat there going through his little black book seeing what over-priced second-hand OAP he can get on the cheap. Dux is writing something on the whiteboard in black marker pen - something alomg the lines of ... "We Never Learn"
Out of all of them, I am only really sad to see Kiko, Zinc and Cucho leave. Although Kucka was a lot of fun last season - he was crap but he really did try.
Add in Conteh (as he made an appearance for us) and Phillips (ditto) plus Kamara who went and came back before we had time to notice and Etebo and Kucka who were only loaned to us but who we had the option of buying
I think it’s fair to say the jury remains out on him and he has missed a few chances you’d have expected him to score. Let’s see now if he kicks on. But whatever happens, to overly misquote Casablanca, we will always have Middlesboro!
Confidence sometimes means that players sometimes can't show what they can do, and I would like to think a winner like that will boost his quite considerably. Ighalo was poor for ages before it all clicked and ended up with 20 goals
Yep. Mebude is about to join Oostende on loan. Edit: Done That’s player 24 out the door this window. What a clear out.
