    How long has Kone been out of action in the MLS for? Would he be able to slot straight into the team come January, or would we need to ease him in?

    Genuine photo now, rather than a mocked-up Romano one.

    Looks absolutely delighted to play for Watford. Must have smuggled him in Holebas style. Chloroform in Canada, wakes up at London Colney.

    He’ll be sensational on his debut and we’ll be certain we’ve got an absolute start on our hands. Then he’ll dine out on the debut performance for the next 4 years, getting progressively crapper before his eventual move to some no-mark French team in Ligue 2.

    Exactly the kind of signing we need to be making, young and tipped for big things, we have got the Canadian Bellingham.

    Absolutely. I wasn’t suggesting it was a bad thing. Indeed if he doesn’t exceed in the warm-up prior to his first game, I’d ship him out on loan

    His last game in the MLS was on the 23rd October but he's been getting regular minutes with the Canadian NT since then, shouldn't take much to get him up to speed.

    Welcome to Watford. We hope you enjoy your stay. He looks promising, I hope we get to see him a little earlier than "only if one of our regulars in injured". Of course, he won't be thrown in for 90mins right off, but it's a good signging on a long term deal.

    Debut at Reading in the cup seems likely. If he's training with us already he should be fine by then

    Living in Australia as I am legally obliged to do so I've obviously seen a lot of this boy over the years.

    What I can say is he is going to be a star

    Picture Bellingham, Mbappe and Ozan Tufan rolled up into one player and you start to get the idea.

    He lacks a little in athleticism, decision making (choosing to sign for Watford) and he struggles both in and out of possession. He can't really tackle and is a poor finisher, but other than that he is the full package.

    You could roll a lot of players up into Ozan Tufan.

    Is he going to be eligible for the game on the 2nd? I think the rules are that you have to be registered by 12 on the first game of that matchday or something like that, there are games happening the day before ours that matchday

    That said, I think it's Choudhury and Louza who are the ones who are really missed, Kone seems a good player, but I don't know how much he'll add to us right now seeing as we are soooooo lacking in midfield atm

    I don’t know why he wouldn’t be available for Norwich. As far as I know new signings can be registered Jan 1 and be available next day.

    But good to hear he’s already in training.

    I don't think this guy should walk straight into the team, I'd like to see if Gaspar can become the midfielder we all know he can be.
