Player Valuation: £80m
Without Carlo we don't have Hamez and Allan, nobody will dispute that, but without Brands these boys don't get snapped up for less than 50m.
You can take that to the bank.
We arent struggling to get Donkeree over the line, we are just doing the dance, the dance that normally ends in Watford bending over, lubing themselves up and taking every inch of the Dons massive chequebook.
But Watford don't need to sell - they have nice parachute money to keep them safe until atleast next season before any inevitable fire sale of players.
Same way Bournemouth didnt bend over for Man City - they had a price and ultimately had to pay it regardless of their relegation.
Do I think Doucoure will sign - yes
But I worry it will drag on for a few more weeks when we could massively do with him in the door for the opening fixtures - we saw what rushing Gbamin into the league did and we shouldn't be doing with same with either of Allan or Rodriguez - both need to be eased into the Prem.
