    Still a chance that Radio Rentals might create a bidding war to bump up the price.

    So confirmation from Vlad that Suarez is basically a bit of a git ( or a mercenary as some if you like to label it) and refused to play for the club that plucked him fro obscurity and gave him a chance. Good riddance I say .

    Have Granada announced it yet? If not, then why would we as I can't imagine it is ratified if that is the case.

    He's probably been given permission by WFC to travel to Granada for a medical, unveiling, etc. Can't imagine the club care too much he is travelling with their squad if it is nearly a done deal.

    You’re actually advocating the club just not telling the fans things?

    Yeah, who cares about the clubs continued, shambolic, mind blowing levels of inept communication?

    Have to agree with you on this, assuming he is one of those players exiting the bus then it is frankly ridiculous. OK we all know he is going but have to assume the deal isn't signed as neither team has confirmed it yet there he is in full clobber.

    Sitting in the stands in a pair of jeans might be galling but possibly understandable, medical, negotiations etc... but this is taking the piss.

    Granada now winning 3-1. So they have European football. Suarez will be happy.

    I expect the announcement to be made after the game or tomorrow.

    Ah I see. Then I guess congratulations are in order. You fell for a joke that's older than Glenn Murray . Nice analogy by the way.

    I’m not too bothered myself but I find it astonishing you can’t even bring yourself to recognise this looks bizarre from the club. Just another aspect of the total circus we have become under our shambolic ownership.

    No wonder him and the other guy left.

    Play in a league you know and European football or maybe get a game in an unknown country on lockdown in a league where you'd probably get kicked pillar to post and maybe not even selected.

    Yeh sure it does look a bit bizarre and can’t say communication is brilliant , but I’m not gonna get over emotional about something that barely registers . I’d rather worry about important stuff .

    Yes I agree. However the way the club is run just makes me sigh on a weekly basis.

    Yep. I’ve given up being annoyed with them. It’s now just a daily eye-roll.

    What a strange attitude.

    Player plucked from South America by Pozzo scouts. Loaned out. Never lived a day in Watford, never played a competitive game for Watford, probably spent a collective amount of five days at London Colney probably can't even speak English yet you speak so strongly against them both? Enough to call them pr1cks and plummet down the league? Bit harsh lol.

    I'll stick this in here as it's vaguely connected due to Suarez being at Granada's Europa League Qualifying game - and he looks a bit like the Colombian!

    Sean Murray has scored for Dundalk tonight in the same competition to give them the lead. They've just gone 2-up as I type.
    He also scored in the previous qualifying round.

    I think people are getting a bit too worked up about stuff that does not really matter, I mean it’s not as if we’ve just lost 1-0 to our local rivals or anything. I wonder if the increased emotions are a side affect of COVID isolation. I’m certainly spending more time than usual on my tablet.

    I bet when they sign in south america they are sold the dream of playing for a PL club, and instead spend 3 or 4 years moving from club to club every year without even the chance to audition at a pre-season.

    Suddenly they start doing performing and we start doing **** and we expect them to come to a foreign country to play in the second tier and leave their wife in Spain to help out a club who has never expressed any interest in them.

    All the while their agents are telling them about the European clubs interested in them.

    I know what I would do.

    I know he’s gone, not is if there is any doubt so why will an announcement make any difference

    I hear this argument too.

    But again I think over complicating it?

    Why does anything have to be so personal.

    We got relegated, he’s going to play for a club in a country he can communicate with everybody, his wife lives in the city and he’s going to play Europa League football.

    People get promoted, get fired, change jobs and change careers all the time I just don’t get why in this instance it needs personal insults.

    I tend to save that for those who played for us (not very well) didn’t try and then want to leave.

    I kind of agree it’s quite strange but I honestly don’t care. Not as if it’s any doubt

    So the club don’t need to make any announcement at all about his departure because there’s pictures of him elsewhere so that’s all we need to know?

    You realise how crazy that sounds right?

    I'm sure they will when the deal is done.

    Granada haven't announced it either as far as I'm aware.

    Crazy seeing people so worked up about this...

    It’s not crazy, I just don’t need an announcement to tell me what is very obvious. There is also the possibility that it’s not quite done due to Granada playing and wanting him to travel with the team he will be part of.
    Why does it matter so much

    Yeah - I have already said I don't really understand the insults.

    It is more just a general issue I have with this loan system the Pozzos run.

    I’m quite pleased he’s gone to Granada and got to be there for their Euro qualification. Happy days for Granada, it’s a lovely unique city and they made some dependable cars back in the 80s.

    I wish Granada all the best as even though the Pozzos have sold them, I still consider them as family who have helped contribute to the amazing success and glory we’ve enjoyed under Gino. I reckon it’s good karma that they got Suarez off us on the cheap.

    I’m sitting at home quite calmly thanks...There’s a difference between getting worked up and thinking the clubs communication or way of dealing with some matters is beyond awful.

    If he’s not yet a Granada player, then we should have made it clear that he isn’t to be seen in their club colours etc until it’s announced. It’s weird behaviour. I could figure him sitting in the stands or whatever...but he’s fully on the pitch etc etc

    If Liverpool were in talks with Sarr, and he’s turned up at their game tonight in a Liverpool tracksuit and went on the pitch after to celebrate a win, yet Watford remained silent - you wouldn’t find that ridiculous?!

    So to clarify, you'd like the club to release a statement saying that Suarez is not yet a Granada player and then (possibly tomorrow) release a statement saying we've sold him to Granada?

    Or what would you prefer the club did in terms of communication? Seeing as they won't be announcing he is a Granada player until it is a ratified transfer (which is why Granada haven't announced it yet I imagine).
