I'll start us off with a link that probably hasn't been read by most yet...

Good thread. To summarise, It's little old Watford without seeing the potential.

 

This one made me laugh. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2161781/Watford-set-feeder-club-Udinese.html Typical lazy journalism.

 

Very good article!!

Translated article:

Find confirmed the news exclusively launched by Sportitalia - and not reported by the British tabloids - that Gianfranco Zola is in discussions with Watford. Also confirmed that the lawyer Fulvio Marrucco is in London to try to work out the details. Zola, remember, has received a proposal of four years of English society.

So 'apparently' the lawyers are here thrashing out the details..

Waiting for proof of funds..... Really Bas?

 

Yes, that made me laugh, but he almost sounds like a grown up in this interview. Maybe dealing with professionals has rubbed off on him.

 

Feck me the observers website is so annoying with that advert that automatically plays :rant:

 

Hopefully this isn't gonna pizza the pozzo's off with bas going to the local rag

 

I'm in the padded cell next to you.

 

Hopefully Bazza will finally have something of value to put in his safe!

 

some very intelligent comments though:naughty:

 

You're telling me. I've still got a very strong feeling that I have induced myself into a coma-like sleep thanks to me reading the same pages in my revision books over and over again

 

Tomorrows Watford Observer front page..



(it's all about pool safety for me)

 

I'm going to miss Digging in Allotments

 

This is an odd one..

Watford, UFFICIALE: Ecco Kuszczak dallo United
21 giugno alle 14:20
Tomasz Kuszczak lascia il Manchester United per andare a giocare in Championship. Il portiere polacco è un nuovo giocatore del Watford.

Translated, it says..

Watford, OFFICIAL: Here Kuszczak from the United
June 21 at 14:20
Tomasz Kuszczak left Manchester United to go play in the Championship. The Polish goalkeeper is a new player of Watford.

While from www.tuttomercatoweb.com they reported at 5:06pm this afternoon..

As learned from TMW, the Pozzo family would be a step away from the acquisition of Watford. The company is performing the test funds for economic checks, at this point appears to be only a matter of hours. Ginaluca Nani is going to become the sports director of Watford, less than sensational twists is ready to resume its activities stopped a few months ago. By evening, new developments are expected.

 

I did realise that but blimey, some Italian press looks worse than ours!

Translated:

The Pozzo family has come closer to the acquisition of Watford. The British company is now close to new ownership, a new project after Udinese and Granada. E 'confirmed the name of Zola as a temptation for the bench, Gianluca Nani for executives (already ex-West Ham, England) and also an idea to the market. He is the young midfielder Cristian Battocchio class '92, who would arrive on Udinese. The new Watford already taking shape ...


We know that Zola and Nani aren't involved as we previously thought, but this is the first mention of a player I believe...

 

Do we actually know Zola/Nani aren't involved?.. Where was this?

 

I think there was feeling that Zola is likely in DoF role. Not sure about Nani. I meant in the positions we previously thought.

 

Is the takeover likely to happen by tomorrow at some point does anyone know?

 

Can bring back the classic "It's a Friday, something must happen!"

 

Watch this space.....

 

Tomorrow (Friday) shall forever be known as Good Friday if something good happens.

Everybody good with this? Let's celebrate and go to T.G.I Friday's is this goes through.

 

Classy !

 

"Gotta get taken over on friday, friday Its friday friday ..." etc etc

 

How about we call it this??

 

I like your thinking outside the box, but it sounds slightly gay. I don't want a randy Caskey come sailing back to wfcforums because of this.

 

I hear that it will be confirmed today, the role that they are talking about for Zola is almost managing the 100 plus players across the 3 teams balancing the development players needs & the respective clubs needs. I understand that the model is some activities that are similar across the 3 clubs may well be centralised, I guess players recruitment might be one of them ?
