    Given his form last season I'd say he is tough to leave out.

    I've been told this is done. Not sure how I feel about it. Great record for England and I've always thought he looked good when fit.
    If he is on a performance based contract with a low basic salary then great, Im all for it. The bloke has averaged 15 games a season since his debut 11 years ago.... to put that into perspective, its a bit more than Wilshere, but not by much.

    He isn't fit yet by the way, 'coming back to full fitness' apparently. So selling the current 3 strikers would be a big risk.

    I do admit before his injuries I had a soft spot for Danny Welbeck as a footballer. I used to tell my brother I thought he was going to be 'brilliant'. So blame me for putting the kiss of death on him lol.

    But with Deeney as captain and ever-present under Gracia, Deulofeu our top-scorer and best player, and now Welbeck - it’s what will likely happen I think.

    Mental either way you look at this.

    Having Welbeck here would boost brand Watford no end.

    T-shirt sales alone are expected to raise somewhere in the region of £397.50

    This will either be a Marlon or a Duke signing.

    Given Welbz' injury record surely rather the former.

    I reckon he liked the idea of coming Watford due to the hospital being next door.

    I didn't think of that. A plus for him.
    Which will be longer? The NHS waiting time at A&E or Welbeck scoring?

    I think he liked the idea of coming to Watford due to the hospital being just a short distance away.

    Apparently Welback is only up for this move because he's heard there's an NHS medical facility in close proximity.

    Transfer news:
    We could be about to sign Robbie Savage. Now there is a guy who stole a career as a footballer.
    All other ex-players apply to Watford FC. Bring your boots and a medical fit to work certificate (not compulsory)

    I believe he was in favour of the move due to the adjacent locale of medical professionals.

    A world class deal. If he is fit and plays he is a quality player and better than we have. If he doesn’t play we have lost £25k a week (chicken feed). Quite a bit of the time he wasnt playing at Arsenal, was that he was not first choice
