He Fee was £4.5m to £5m. It is not £1.3m. We paid far more than was necessary. His value in 2019 was €150,000. In 2021, his value was €1m. I do hope our groundsman has enough soul to fill in the trench that Bachmannwill create on the goalline at the Vic. We have Kayembe, Kalu and Okoye on our books. These three players costs £11m and it is very possible that they will not pull on a first team shirt in anger. Our team scouts are like bloodhounds who have lost their sense of smell. Something stinks will our transfers, but our boardroom will never know.
What would be mildly amusing after all this discussion is if Pozzo sells DB to Man Utd for a million on Friday
Bachman Is absolute garbage ,good with his feet dont make me laugh he has concrete in his boots ,doesn't say much for the new recruit another 6 million down the pan
Flaws? Come on, in goalkeeping terms his flaws are major. Every Keeper should absolutely command the 6 yd box and the majority of the 18yd area. Bachmann does not do this and it there for all to see. You cannot coach this out of him.
Surely it would be best to use a rate that was current and contemporary rather than an ex rate that is no longer a rate.
I did tell the members on here to read the Sparta fans forum and read what the Nigerian media had to say about Okoye. The response was "It's all rubbish". Okoye may come good, but he has joined with the view of being the 1st choice. Yet, he can't even dislodge a keeper who was publicly seeking a move out of Vicarage Road last January. It's just fun to be a Watford fan.
Really, we have had this conversation before. You banged on about his mental heath. This you claimed l was critical of. This is not so. You will not coach his flaws out of him. If that were possible, how come Watford coaching staff have failed to do so ? He doesn't want to come off his line. Why? You will have to ask Bachmann himself. Just to be clear, l am not going about his mental well-being. So please pick another reason why you think he will change his career long issue.
I’m more concerned that in 2022 we still have 3 starting defenders of the back 4 that started in the 2018 season. Femenia is leaving, but the fact Kabasele and Cathcart are still around and in the first team picture shows that a) they are crap and no other team wants them and b) the recruitment has been absolutely dire the past 4 years, including 2 relegations
Eh? That conversation we had was about Danny Rose. So, no. We have not had this conversation before. And I haven't said he will change or that I think he will. I suggested it's possible a player can be coached to do new things or improve their game - because thats what coaching is. It's bizarre to try and deny that really.
You have often referred to Sparta fans’ views on him but they adored him over there. I don’t know what views you are referring to but he was a vital player for them who was central to their avoiding relegation this season (following a drop in form in the middle of the season.) Obviously he has his issues and Edwards prefers Bachmann. But this idea that he was awful at Sparta Rotterdam is rubbish. As is the crap you said about him loving himself because he has a nice car or whatever.
I never said he was awful. He has flaws in his game and they were pointed out by fans. He is may change
I agree that Bachman in goal in the Champ is fine, but the point remains, we spent millions last season on players who played little-no part in helping us stay up, when we had glaring issues in our 11. Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk
Which Watford players have had a flaw coached out of them in the last 5 years? I agree that is what coaching is, but we seem to not do it at all. Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk
