we cant afford him? who can we afford out of interest? since you obviously know what our wage budget is
Well considering we are lacking monies at the moment, and Boa Morte is going to be on about 30k a week, then noone near his level. We will have to look into the free transfer/loan market and the lower leagues if we have any money to spend.
I guess the days of signing premiership players like Martin Taylor and Luis Boa Morte and long gone...
I guess the days of signing Scottish Premierleague players such as Aiden McGeady and Don Cowie are long gone.
The list on football-rumours says Boa Morte their joint top earner (with Upson, Parker, Dyer) on £70k - hardly our level!

That would make sense - they will offer him more than we can. Only thing is I don't think he's agreed to any deal yet because he wants to keep his options open till after the cup. However I have seen rumours that he's already signed for an MLS side?
I would be too, except: 1. I've never heard of him 2. Wages are likely to be a problem 3. I can't see him linking up with Walcott.
Well he's Danish so I'd think he's very cheap. He used to be at Brøndby IF - one of the top sides in Denmark. As for not linking up with Walcott I think you're spot on. That'll never happen.
I heard that DeMerit was going to quit after the world cup. His eye won't take another season at this level and he has quite a sucsessful business that he wants to continue with.
Now says we are going to sign Billy Clarke from Blackpool for 300,000 and danny shittu coming back for 800,000 from bolton! :forehead:
Released Norwich City defender Gary Doherty is set to sign for Watford not the only departure from Norwich as Russell is set to sign for Leeds united within the next 48 Hours. Meanwhile back down at Carrow Road Forster will re sign aswell as the signings of Billy Paynter, Jimmy Abdou and Robert Koren will be confirmed.
'Leeds United have had bids accepted for Tamas Priskin, Dale Bennet and Lloyd Doyley. A contract has been offered to Jay DeMerit and if Beckford leaves, nothing confirmed on that front, he could be replaced by Heidar Helguson.' I'm trying to decide if that's a Watford or Leeds fan... Automatically dismissed as crap, unless Leeds want to pay for an out of contract Dale Bennett...
Watford FC Outs: Jay Demerit (Released) Jon Harley (Released) Will Hoskins (Released) John Eustace (Released – set to join Ipswich) Jordan Parkes (Free – Brentford) Lewis Young (Released) Billy Gibson (Released) Scott Loach (1.7m Aston Villa, Bolton apparently are also interested but at no more than 1.2m, Spurs are not convinced by Loach yet) Richard Lee (Released – Does not want to sign a new contract – could change his mind if Loach leaves) Scott Severin (Free – Kilmarnock) Jonathon Bond (Released) Stuck With: Nathan Ellington (Xanthi can't afford to keep him – one year left on his contract) Matt Sadler (Watford will not play him more than the 35 games played as that activates further payment – one year left on his contract) Jure Travner (One year left on his contract still) Watford FC Ins: GK Kenny Arthur (Free – Rochdale) CB Craig Cathcart (Loan – Man Utd) LB Andy Frampton (Free – Millwall) CM Richie Jones (Free – Harlepool) CM Loan (Youngster from Prem – not Henri Lansbury who does not want to come back to Watford) R/LM Albert Adomah (250k Barnet) CF Heider Helguson (100k – QPR) Any remaining money from the Elton concert has been put towards player wages (esp. with Ellington on such high wages) in light of the drop in season ticket sales and the general decrease in support. The extra championship money (1.5m) used to help clubs day–to–day running costs. These details might disappoint some Watford fans but the club has to be realistic and fight with passion and a decent size squad on low wages.
Please can you give us at least give us some hint of where you have got this info, without going into too much detail. Heaven help us if you are right though :dismay:
According to the latest from football rumours, Blackpool will be signing Loach later this week for 3mil. Probaley not true since it is football rumours but i wouldnt say no too 3mil for loach.
What do you reckon? 1 in 2 record for Staylbridge Celtic until they went bust and 9 in 12 for Harrowgate. Got to be worth a shout, perhaps pay as you play deal?
