On the face of it I could agree with you -ie the inexperience factor. But there's a whole different level of ball game being played here by the Pozzo family who own Watford. I don't necessarily agree with it but I can see the commercial attractiveness of it for the owners and players. If you don't already know The Pozzo family also own Udinese and Granada. Their business model has been to get all 3 teams in the top flight of Italy, Spain and England by legitimately loaning players between their clubs and then cancelling / restarting contracts at will so that players resale values are maximised according to the market their playing style is most likely to be commercially most valuable. With Watford now in the Premiership they've achieved that. The thing is most of watford's players already have either serie A and/or la liga experience as a result of them being loaned between the 3 clubs in the past 3 seasons. 2 of the players also have premier league experience. Most of them have also been plucked from obscure leagues to join the Pozzo experiment because with serie A, LA liga and premier league on their CV they become more valuable personally (in terms of attractiveness to bigger clubs) and also to the wider Pozzo project. As I say, I don't agree with it but it is clever in a way and every one of those 10 players they've 'signed' knows that they have 38 games to impress and win a contract either to move to a bigger club or stay in the premier league. They'll be right up for it this season and I reckon will surprise a lot of people.
