http://www.insidefutbol.com/2019/08...ewcastle-and-watford-as-bids-accepted/432528/ 26yr old Senegal international right back, fee agreed between Bordeaux and ourselves. BUT... fee also agreed between Bordeaux and Newcastle. Player to pick which team via origami fortune teller. He has just returned from holiday so the story must be true.
Sort of ok and a shortarse. It’s a no from me. As far as I can see Messi would be no good at defender corners and neither will this fella.
Why would we look for another right back? We have Kiko, Janmaat and bargain bucket tat Navarro (out on loan).
Janmaat's in his last year of contract and doesn't seem to be the number one choice. I'm actually surprised he's still with us. Navarro is clearly not part of things either, so for me, it makes a lot of sense.
Nonetheless for this season Janmaat is a good backup. Given the gaps elsewhere this does not seem like it should be a priority given our potless circumstances.
But if this guy does sign then I would expect Janmaat to go. Don’t forget, we’ve got more than two days for selling players to Europe in the transfer window. This is what I’d expect would happen.
This right back can also play left back ,could be useful to have around , get him in then tell sarr we have got his buddy in as well !
To be linked with such players is something to be proud of. Just look at how far we've cone. Who is he?
Already amended - now shows him as a Watford player. Am wondering when the Newcastle fan will realise and change it back though...
It's us or newcastle per wobby ......per t'internet. https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...rdeauxs-youssouf-sabaly-accepted-say-reports/
Maybe adapt a Yusuf (Cat Stevens) song for him - Here comes Sabaly, here he comes now... and if he doesn't sign, it can be changed to There goes Sabaly, there he goes now...
I think we are weak in the left back position because I don't think Holebas can go on much longer (defensively), may not even have the legs for the coming season. This guy can play left back so hope he chooses us.
The Geordies are mentioning that the deal with Krafth is "...dotting I's and crosssing T's..." so Sabaly 'may' be ours... https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...rdeauxs-youssouf-sabaly-accepted-say-reports/
Contract with Bordeaux cancelled by mutual consent. He's expected in the car park tomorrow with a sign around his neck saying "Inscrivez-moi s'il vous pla*t, Watford FC!" - pen in one hand, boots in the other...
I like this lad's can do attitude. No messing around with agents. Also tees himself up nicely as the next 'The End is Nigh' sandwich board man at Oxford Circus if the football doesn't work out.
Filled his car up with Diesel instead of Unleaded at the Esso garage and couldn’t make it by 5pm yesterday. This one’s off.
