https://twitter.com/JordanC1107/status/1765378180288827438 Watford have a firm interest in signing 18yo Celtic forward Rocco Vata this summer. Would cost around €280k in comp. Interest from Como, Bologna & Sampdoria in ROI U21. Offer from Celtic to extend until 2027 but chances have been limited
Would rather be bent over and roughly buggered by Rocco Siffredi than pick up duds from that shyt league.
Don't know much about him, but from the limited data I have on him, it seems he's pretty versatile - has played RW, LW, as a #10 and as the main striker.
Without seeing him, that’s the profile of player we need. Versatile players who can do a shift in multiple positions. Saves on costs and allows fluidity for the coach to set up in different ways
This could be a bit of a coup if we pull it off. He looks a very promising player. Silky, skilful dribbler with quick feet, plenty of pace and a clean strike. At first glance he looks more a winger similar to a Jack Clarke in the Champ or Garnacho in the PL, but with his bursting dribbles through the middle of the pitch he could also play as a similar style of 10 to someone like Szoboszlai. He seems pretty right-f0oted, which nowadays would normally put wide players on the left flank, but as with a Garnacho his pace means he seems capable of also playing on the right given he looks capable of beating full-backs round the outside to get a cross in. Doesn't seem obvious that lead the line forward would be his favoured position given he seems best getting on the ball and running at players, but I wouldn't rule out him being able to do a job there given the goal threat he could provide with his pace to get on the end of crosses and good striking of the ball. Surprised there's been no highlights vids posted yet, so here's one:
He won’t come here, he is waiting for a better offer than us I suspect - we have been linked to him for about 6months if he was keen we would of had him in by now
Sounds exactly what we want...... which means we won't get him, he will go to a close rival and batter us every time we play them.
Without ever having seen the lad, I’d be quite excited about this because of the positive things I’ve heard. Sky are normally wrong though.
"Rocky V starts with Rocky returning to rags from riches due to a miscalculation by his accountant." He sounds like he very much embodies the club already.
They have already rejected bids from Como and Nottingham Forest. Interesting if we actually get anywhere with this one.
Yes a couple of seasons on loan in the national league and league 2 and he may be ready to integrate with the first team squad.
Never let us down with the ITK information yet! The lad sounds promising and should get some first team opportunities with Bayovic as competition.
Sounds like we are bringing in potential to dovetail our proven strikers like Vakoun Bayo. It’s a yes from me
