    Agreed - but!

    He is very lightweight and very few other midfields will just sit off and say play how you like Watford - lets see how he goes at Bournemouth who will press us high and snap at our heels even in the tunnel before we start calling him iniesta!

    I thought he was excellent yesterday; as for lightweight I'm not so sure of that? Yes he did get out muscled on a couple of occasions, but overall I thought he held his ground pretty well, lets face it, it was only his 2nd game and I am confident he will very quickly get wise to the championship bully boys and show them who is boss.

    Looked very good against Charlton and like parades, a good home debut. It's how he performs at against the Ipswich,blackburn, bournemouth and Boros of this world.

    Anyone who can be a regular in the MExican national side, who are an excellent side, must be a good player so pleased that he is with us.

    We just have to be patient while he settles into life in the UK.

    I don't know if anyone appreciates the enormous media storm this transfer has caused back in Mexico, he's an absolute celebrity.

    Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez is simply NOT having it.

    I know the jist is that Hugo Sanchez is not impressed as Watford play direct football and nobody has heard of them.

    No, he does seem to be implying that Layun won't be able to hack it on a cold tuesday night up in [Insert tinpot championship club name/stadium/city/county here].

    It's not like we held a gun to his head and forced him to sign.

    If he hasn't heard of us, how does he know that we play direct football?

    I guess he's basing it on the general perception of English football. That we're sh!t.

    It saddens me that even in Mexico we're viewed as an unfashionable club.

    Mexico's opinion of us hasn't changed since we signed Moses Ashikodi.

    Christ he's good looking!

    He also clearly has a football brain -- should be made the brains of the team and encouraged to set off on the journey towards being a club legend :p

    From the BBC -

    Miguel Layun (Watford, undisclosed fee from Granada)
    The attacking left-back had the hashtag #TodoEsCulpaDeLayun (It's all Layun's fault) embroidered on his football boots as a reminder of the barrage of criticism he received for years from Club America fans on social media. He has now turned the hashtag into a clothing brand

    This is why he joined Watford, he wanted to go somewhere he could feel at home.

    I'm thinking of getting #getalifeitsonlyagame embroidered on my boots to remind me of the barrage of abuse I get on here.
