Lots of players have higher xG when they come on as a sub, as they’re fresh against tired legs. Alvarez for Man City would have an xG of something ludicrous like 3xG a game if you converted his 20 min sub appearances into xG per 90. When he starts, he still scores goals but nowhere near that unsustainable rate.
Leventhal with the inside track again. Warford have held talks, but other clubs want him too. And Watford have other targets. One to watch.
Saw on Twitter that he’s just unfollowed the team he plays for on Instagram. Imagine an exit is fairly close wherever he’s going!
Closest club to reaching an agreement with Midtjylland. Kaba on the other hand has been pushing to join La Liga side Las Palmas. Source: MatteMoretto on Twitter/X.
Half decent strikers are too expensive. That’s why we haven’t signed one (from outside the Pozzo stable) in the whole time they have owned us unless you class Richarlison or Pedro as an out and out striker. We can only afford quarter decent strikers. Gray was quarter decent but cost the price of a very decent striker.
I'd take a loan! I also wonder how many of the other 23 clubs in the division have a striker better than we do. Fair enough if the biggest clubs do but we should be able to get someone as good as the rest of the bunch.
Was on the bench tonight for their Europa Conference League game. Came on for Cho on the 65th minute.
So he can't play now for us in Europe this season if he signs? Well have to look elsewhere then. Sorry, Kabs.
It’s NEXT year that we will be playing in Europe. His experience of playing in Europe this season will make him even more valuable to us.
Kaba wants to go to Spain it seems so have to look elsewhere potentially. https://www.leedsunited.news/news/l...triker-target-wants-to-join-new-la-liga-club/
We’re probably quibbling over a clearly established price then. As hard as that is to imagine Watford doing.
Pozzo’s offer of 50k up front and £2m when we win the Champions League isn't tempting Midtjylland then?
This is when Pozzo is infuriating. Costs us transfer targets time and again but as soon as Bayat is involved we can lash money at him no object.
The bit I don’t get is his Danish club still playing him - seems needless to me! I bet we are insisting on a loan deal of some description. And other suitors are willing to pay. That would be my guess. And I will emphasise it’s a guess. @Goldenorn has the inside track on this one and he’s a good source for sure!
Yes seems to be 2 million - so probably only want to pay 1.8 or something. Or probably decided to change the contract offer .
Burnsy has already said that Kaba wasn't the name provided to him: https://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/transfer-talk-suggestions.54511/page-372#post-3267088
