    Of course they will be solvent. That's why they are taking the action they are now. The real issue would come when parachute monies cease anyway.
    They are doing what any owner should do in this circumstance - trying to mount a promotion challenge whilst ensuring we are still a going concern if we don't go up.

    According to my sources, the club will accept bids for all of them if the price is right.

    Gray most likely to stay, followed by Deeney, although Deeney definitley wants out.

    Do your own research.

    Udinese market, Troost Ekong can leave. Watford hypothesis
    Udinese defender William Troost Ekong is not a starter in Gotti's choices. Hypothesis transfer to Watford for the Dutch

    The defender of ' Udinese , William Troost Ekong is not in the grid of titolarissimi the defense of Mr. Gotti . The Dutchman remains a step behind Becao , De Maio and Nuytinck in the defensive hierarchies. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport , the hypothesis of a move to Watford di Pozzo is looming for him . In reality, the former Gent would not be very convinced of going down in the category. Here is the analysis of the rosea: "Gotti tried it on the right, where he struggled. He only manages to perform at his best as a last man. It is true that his physicality would be well suited to the Championship, but it is difficult to think that, as captain of Nigeria, he would like to move to a second tier tournament “.

    If Dawson leaves for Burnley or Fulham, Troost-Ekong would be a very good replacement. But surely our priority at CB is to bring in a left footer to play in that LCB role. Would be very happy with Troost-Ekong+LCB in, Dawson our. But I hope it isn’t the case that we’re bringing him in instead of the left footed we’re yearning out for.

    Also, all the reports have highlighted that he’s not keen to come here. Not sure how that fits with Ivic’s need for total commitment etc

    So another Udinese reserve ? I assumed he was one of their better players but he can't get in their team ??

    He's actually decent and would be an upgrade on all our current central defensive options, IMO.

    He has been a regular in their team, it's just he's been out of form of late. Not that it should be too much of a problem, Serie A for the most part is better than the Championship you'd think

    I wish this deal would hurry up and get over the line.

    We haven't signed an Udinese reject for literally days, what are the club playing at?

    It looks like we need him. Today’s clean sheet wasn’t so much down to our defending as Wednesday’s finishing.

    Vladimir Ivic on potential arrival of William Troost-Ekong from Udinese.

    "We will see, I know he is a quality player and for sure he will be one of the players who will help us in the future if he will come and he will be with us."

    Not on here he didn’t. In fact, nowhere did he publicly say anything before my post...

    Only a brave few dare to stick there heard above the parapet you see! ;)

    Question me at your peril...and I accept your apology.

    I would certainly take him, Dawson may still go and to be honest I haven't been that convinced by Wilmot or Craig Cathcart.

    He can pass between the lines, and he can carry the ball forward. This is going to be crucial. Today all the two Wednesday forwards did was drop off our back three and close the passing lane to Chalobah so we either went wide (sideways) or long. Troost-Ekong into the middle of the back three, please.



    PS can't wait until he arrives and then just hoofs it aimlessly like ever other seemingly good footballer who turns up at Vicarage Road...

    He's at it again:

    I hope he will improve our game because he's a quality midfield player who knows how to play, how to manage the game and I expect from him that he will improve our passing during the game and our attacking football," said Ivic.

    So where have I contradicted that in my reply to you? My post was clearly ‘tongue-in-cheek’ yet hardly surprising you couldn’t just let it be! Considering how much you like to shoot down people posting negatively, you sure do like to take the fun out of things...

    And if you’re going to correct my spelling, at least have the decency to correct the punctuation in your own post.)
