I remember Dennis scoring our first goal on our return to the PL under Xisco. Home crowd loved it and three chants from that game stuck with me. "That boy Grealish, he left cause' your ****" "Your just a **** Jack Grealish" "Ashley, what's the score?"
Yes he was amazing that day, it was a great day all-round , no indication of the **** that was to come.
I think the way we fell to bits at the end was a bit of an eye-opener mind. Masina giving away a brainless penalty right at the end making final minute or so a lot tougher to sit through than it needed to be. Carried on to the second game as we lost 2-0 at Brighton without even laying a glove on them.
Yeah, but we had an ageing defensive midfielder who we simply couldn't replace properly off the bench, it's not relevant to the present day
Careful…I hear our Tony was very partial to all sorts of ‘60s music. And Cliff Hilton liked nothing better than twisting defenders inside out making them look like (Cathy’s) clowns.
Got to love players that have a dash of arrogance and don't go into their shells against the big teams. Players like Dennis and Holebas didn't subscribe to the "little old Watford" mentality. We need more of them!
Yes, George Best, Pele, Johan Cruyff, Bobby Charlton, Beckenbauer, Messi, none of them have ever played in the Premier League so they can't have been any good.
I think I ruined it for them, so they scrapped the idea. He's taking the number 25 shirt. Official: Dennis Returns On Loan - Watford FC
Such a good signing. He looks pumped to be back. He knows he’s loved here and I genuinely think he’s going to tear it up.
This is a long shot granted, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if Dennis ends up being our top scorer this season.
Hopefully he's picking up 70% of the unnecessary floodlight electricity bill too. We're skint these days.
I'm hearing we must have cooled on this one, as instead we are looking to sign someone who would be "one of the best players in the league". So exciting !
Rajovic is the one to catch and he's on 9 including the cup goal. Dennis has a minimum of 19 matches remaining......more if we have a cup run and/or get into the playoffs. Raj scored 7 from his first 14 games, but since then only 2 from his next 11. So, his goals are drying up. But maybe Dennis will be a provider with crosses. So a better bet maybe goal contributions......so goals and assists. I predict Dennis will be top by the end of the season (providing he stays fits and healthy of course)
Be interesting to see where Val wants him to play. Have a feeling he will be one of the wider attackers but id like to see him centrally. Finally we can play a percentage ball over the top or in the channels and have someone quick enough to get on the end of them.
This has potential to be the biggest flop signing ever for us. The hype around Dennis returning is astronomical - this could be Eden Hazard to Real Madrid level’s of disappointment.
