Watford Observer @Observer_Owl Blimey. Our Frank's just gone running down corridor with Gianfranco Zola's voice emanating from mobile. Most excitement we've had all day.
'ITK Platypus' is still my favourite name of all time. As if being a Platypus was not in itself amusing enough the notion that it is 'ITK' is just superb.
Yeah if we have to try and get these deals done in the summer then I can see some problems, i.e. bigger clubs coming in for them. Plus if we don't go up will they even want to re-sign?
Especially the ones who've said they want to stay? Maybe they'll announce them all together... I'd like it to be done on the hour every hour...
GFZ phoning to tell Frank that Frank is being rested from this Fridays paper and Martin Samuel is coming off the bench for one week, so he can keep the fringe Wobby squad happy. FML! :naughty:
Frank Smith Rapid pace was only needed cos deadline is in 45 minutes @Observer_Owl Nothing for the #WatfordFC fans to get excited about unfortunately I think our day is done.
Italy is one or two hours ahead, so their transfer window is closed or closing, I presume. Looks like we are struck with a load of loanees for the rest of the season! Never mind folks, it hasn't worked out bad so far. Just puzzled as to why indications were thrown out that we would or could be signing some of them permanently during this window.
Don't think anyone has ever said this. Also, Italian window shuts later than ours I think? It does, it shuts tomorrow at 6PM our time.
Kane, if we don't make some of these loans permanent today and sign Redmond, Walcott and Smith, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.
http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/9905368.Watford_have_option_to_sign_Udinese_quintet/ Not really the players we'd want to sign though...
I think that's pretty exciting. Given the chance, Iwelumo is tricky on the ball and has lightening feet. Combine that with his raw pace and there will not be many CB's in L1 that will be able to keep up with him.
Also just because we haven't heard anything doesn't necessarily mean we haven't signed anyone maybe we will hear later tonight or tommorow morning
Just because nothings been announced doesn't mean we haven't signed anyone, I'm sure everyone's very busy behind the scenes. If you're player why sign now when you can wait 4 hours and see if anyone else offers you more money/better transfer?
Well I'd take Ekstrand and Battochio, and FF has already signed. Neuton I'm not bothered about and Fanchone has already been let go. I think it's pretty obvious that Abdi and Vydra will only be here next season if we're in the Premier League. They'll be here for the rest of this season regardless so I'm not sure why everyone is so worried about whether we sign them permanently today or not.
It seems odd that we sign Forrestieri permanently before the transfer deadline but we seem to be less and less likely to sign the oher loanees before the deadline. Why was Fessi the exception?
Is it possible we've been placed under some sort of embargo whilst the investigation is underway? If I remember correctly, Fessi was signed before that observer report about Baz and the salad boys?
