    John Stead to join us for 500k mmmmmmmmmmmm

    If it were true, I'm not sure if I would be happy about that or not?

    What do you guys think?

    No chance we'll buy a 500k player.

    Another one from football-rumours.

    Only rumour i know is that Steve Bruce has offered Watford £3m for scott loach

    Yes please:biggrin:

    I can't see us spending 500k on one player this summer. Expect 500k to be spent on 3 unknown Scots.

    Would not be able to turn that down..

    However, unlikely to be true because Gordon and Fulop are there.

    `fulop had a huge bust up with bruce, apparently never play again for s'land

    Gordon rumoured to be attracting the big clubs
     
  9. His Royal Hornet

    His Royal Hornet Top Quality Banter

    I don't really think that Gordon would get a better club than he has now.
     
  10. His Royal Hornet

    His Royal Hornet Top Quality Banter

    Also just found this:

    Can't even spell Tottenham and Jon Walters is hardly worth 3.5 million at the moment, same goes for Connor Wickham! 6 million?! Dream on!
     
  11. folkestone orn

    folkestone orn Squad Player

    500k on Jon Stead? I don't think so somehow. He doesn't resemble the kind of forward we need.:dismay:
    Who in there right mind would spend 3.5m on Senderos:forehead:
    Spurs paying 6m for Connor Wickham? He might as well say goodbye to that promising career of his now :biggrin:

    I wouldn't mind Stead but he'd probably be on at least £10K a week.

    Also I'd say Spurs wouldn't be a bad place to go for Wickham at the moment.
     
  13. WoodyWfc

    WoodyWfc Squad Player

    Jon Stead is woeful.
     
  14. folkestone orn

    folkestone orn Squad Player

    I don't. Purely based on the fact that Spurs has proved to be a graveyard for the careers of many a talented young footballer in recent seasons. I guess he might get into the squad for the odd Cup game though. Stead hasn't got enough pace and would be too similar to what we already have and as you say, his wage demands would be too high

    Stead is rubbish, has been for a few years now and would be on highish wages, no thanks

    Bit of a whoosh there HRH?

    Tottenham are closing in on the signing of goalkeeper scott loach. They tried to loan the young keeper back in January but were rebuffed. However it is believed watford are open to bids around the £2 million mark. Blackpools out of favour Paul Rachubka is thought to be his replacement on a £50,000 deal

    Also says Liam Henderson is a target for Barrow. +

    Sean Dyche for antiques roadshow.
    Watford assistant manager is to have his contract terminated following a season where watford barely avoided relegation. Brendan Rodgers is being considered to make a shock return to the club where he is loathed.

    and also says that Plymouth will sign Ellington, aberdeen will sign demerit, pompey will sign jenkins

    Some others today:

     
  20. watfordfc88

    watfordfc88 Reservist

    i think Stead's worth about £5!
     
  21. His Royal Hornet

    His Royal Hornet Top Quality Banter

    £4.50?
     
  22. Stead is rubbish. not as rubbish as Senderos though. If Senderos is worth £3.5mi then i'm worth £1.5mi
     
  23. watfordfc88

    watfordfc88 Reservist

    any advance on £4-50?
     
  24. IRB

    IRB THe artist formally know as ImRonBurgundy?

    exclusing the Boyce thing that exact rumour was posted on GH earlier today
     
  25. Kylie Minogue

    Kylie Minogue Reservist

    I heard a rumour about the possibility that all rumours regarding WFC signing any players in the close season should be dismissed as just a rumour.

    Something about us not having a pot to pish in.
     
  26. His Royal Hornet

    His Royal Hornet Top Quality Banter

    $10 now.

    Some more I have found:

    Some of these made me laugh. :biggrin:
     
  28. Timbers

    Timbers Apeman

    I hate to say it but the Gary Doherty rumour is very true, we tried for him already once last year when he looked set to be released by Norwich. Just hope we decide that the youngsters we have in Bennet and Oshudi are just as good options!
     
  29. JH93

    JH93 Squad Player

    To be honest, all would be pretty good signings - give us those three and I'll be happy.
     
  30. krisvad

    So another Scot, a L1 defender and a NI Prem forward?

    It's just regurgitation of previous rumours. We were rumoured to sign Dorman when we got Mcginn. Mkandawire has been rumoured coming to us for ages and the Liam Boyce rumour has been doing the round for a while now. I bet there's no truth in any of it.
     
  31. JH93

    JH93 Squad Player

    Wow, you really don't get that Watford aren't going to be getting Premier League players every summer, do you...

    It's called working on a budget. With the amount of money available, the sort of players mentioned will be good signings.

    If Doyley leaves, I will cry.

    Are you sure you quoted the right message? If so, did you read my post? If you did - you missed my point. The point was that the rumours in question were recycling of previous rumours. The point was that anyone could have written those rumours.

    I really DO get that we aren't getting PrL players. In fact I doubt we'll get much at all this summer as we were skint before the news of cutbacks due to poor ST sales. I'd LOVE if we brought in a Scot, a L1 defender and a NI forward. It is more than I expect.

    think you missed his point.

    unfortunately i believe we will be relying on loanees and freebies if anything this year. i wouldnt say the season ticket sales were poor, they were really what was expected.

    Latest rumours claim we are re-singing Priskin and getting Boa Morte on a free
