Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Paul Rideout]

They played as a pair at Anfield last season up against the fastest forward line in the league. Pace is not a necessity for a centre back.

Speed of thought is far more important, as is anticipation

....lack of pace is suicidal if you play a high line. Two slow CBs usually means you have to defend deep, which restricts the team model you want to deploy.

Reckon we’re saving the rb announcement for tomorrow so we win deadline day with 4 signing a and the world is fuming

The deadline day trophy wooo

 

[Billy Dean]

Just for clarity your nationality is established based on where you were born, you may choose to identify as being of a different nationality based on parental nationality(qualifies you to play for another country, what McCarthy & Tosun did) or by naturlization i.e. living in another country long enough to obtain citizenship (5 years for footballing laws).

I was born in Singapore but I'm not Singaporean

With zaha transfer request surely we are putting in an offer of 80 mil palace want immediately

 

[The Penny Blue]

I'm of the opinion that youtube clips mean diddlysquat, but you must have seen a poor one. Watching this one may just change your opinion.

Recovery speed: 10,000
(That’s pretty high on FIFA. Trust me)

Reckon the plan all along was to upset the apple cart and then walk away

Should be an easy win on Saturday now

Brands is a genius just won us 3 points and we didn’t have to spend a penny

A good keeper helps

They are more likely to accept if we offer it sooner rather than later...
Gives them more time to buy a replacement, ideally Sarr right from underneath Watford's nose.

 

[malcson]

Yeah that's all fair comment mate. And I'm sure he would feel an affinity to the Ivorian lads (if Zaha joins) in much the same way that Rom and Bolasie had a close affinity due o their heritage.

But that's not an excuse to say the lad is Ivorian with Italian papers.

Yes, Italian with Ivorian heritage would have been a far better way of expressing it

 

[MikeH72]

Can see Newcastle with their Arab billions joining the race. Worrying.

Keane was by farandaway the best central defender last year. I think too many people still hold a prejudice against him for how he started off.

....he was very ordinary until Zouma was alongside. It will be fascinating if his failings are again exploited when he partners Mina.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

It is so easy to get sucked into the excitement of new signings but I am still sure that Marcel and Marco agreed the plan before they went into the market and they have been sticking with it as best they can without being reactive to the changing circumstances around them. They are professionals.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

...Watford have signed Danny Welbeck.

Good news. I think he will score a few for them

No need for actual pace if your anticipation and mind is faster than your opponent’s. Samuel played for Inter into his advanced 30s almost 40s as a starter purely due to this fact
