Have heard from a occasionally reliable source that this loan deal has already been done. Was completed the same time as Vydras. If true, am slightly dissapointed that we didnt get Bedimo as LB
An IraqProPlayers twitter account has said he won't join Watford and is staying at Udinese. No idea if they're "ITK" but they have a decent amount of followers...if that means much.
It's not unheard of that players go to one of the family of clubs thinking they're playing there, and then end up being told they're actually off to Watford. Did this not happen with Juan Carlos? Not saying it'll happen this time necessarily, and not casting too much judgement on what looks like a bit of an unusual way of doing things, but it might well be that his final destination has not been decided by the Pozzos yet.
Didn't they saying he's joining Udinese, rather than staying? Sounds like they don't know about our link with them and are assuming that people thought he was signing for us instead of Udinese.
Ha ha. Im not ITK at all. I do hear the occasional tidbit but only very rarely. I just had a mate who happened to randomly bump into Flores on Regent St
You certainly confused me. I thought it had to be a whoosh which I was missing but everybody else seeing.
Based on what source? Everything I've read implies players only go to a club if they want to and agree to do so - there is no forced movement of players. You're saying something else entirely - where did you get that from?
I think he means they tell them that places are limited and if they want to start they have more chance at such and such.
Interesting: Udinese has reached 200k "likes" on its official Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/UdineseCalcio1896/photos/a.203749156331745.51256.203723619667632/1021493577890628/?type=1&comment_tracking={%22tn%22%3A%22O%22} Judging from a lot of the comments in Arab, it looks like a lot of the latest "like" were from Iraq. I don't know if Adnan will play at Udinese or WFC, but I hope the Udinese and Watford online stores are ready for a lot of overseas orders of his shirt. Layun too, if as hoped and expected he'll blossom in Premier, might be a big hit in shirts' sales.
I remember Layun tweeting how happy he was to be joining Granada when every man and his dog knew he was being sent to Watford. Was announced the next day, I think. Weird.
Sounds like the move to Udinese is done, just waiting for the announcement. Wonder where he'll be next season...
Probably simply due to tweets about this article: http://transfernewscentral.com/2015/06/12/five-potential-signings-for-watford-under-flores/ Decently written but overall not much believable I'd say. My opinion on the chances for the 5 names listed: Adnan - maybe. Mario Suarez - no way! Wages. Pereyra - no way! Wages + verbal agreement with Juventus (they WILL buy him at the fixed price) + excellent season (not "just a team player" but a jolly capable of playing in many different positions) Sarabia - maybe? But we know Flores is coach, not manager. If cost is too high Pozzo will say no. Herteaux - possible.
If his agent is saying he's perfect for wing back then it would sound like he'll be at Udinese or here, but then is Flores going to be told to play with 3 at the back here? Doesn't look like something he's done often if at all during his coaching career.
If he joins would Ali etc Adnan & Almen etc Abdi work to the Kolo etc and Yaya etc Toure chant? Just dipping my toe in the water! Sorry.

Adnan the one I'm hoping happens the most (aside from an alternate reality where Allan is put in the prem shop window)
We need to get this guy in. Put him in my fifa team and he played a 10, I've never ever got a 10 rating for any player so clearly this is a sign and based on that and only that he should clearly be our number 1 priority. Make it happen Gino
Was told a week ago that this was already done. Not sure why its not been announced. Unless theres been a hitch or contractual issue, am pretty sure this will be happening.
I figured he was on his way to us because when you type his name into twitter all these middle eastern accounts come up and I have no clue what they are saying apart from Udinese and Watford. Hopefully nothing has gone wrong, the more I read about him from people that actually know what they are talking about who have scouted him, the more I want him at watford. Commercially as well he would be a good purchase.
