Supposedly we are signing a midfielder from Le Havre.. https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...deal-place-according-representatives/?ref=rss
It seems that the new Gueye may not be coming after all - his agent disputes that he has signed. Mind you, as he'd be coming on a free transfer, the agent may just be snarky as he misses out on a cut of the fee. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...t-claims-Watford-not-confirmed-elsewhere.html
Never straight forward with us! Probably happy to come to us but as you say agent probably had a bigger move lined up.
You have to wonder what action there is in a free transfer though. Presumably a share of a signing-on fee, if there still is such a thing?

Well he has signed a five year contract - you would think that means something, even in this day and age.
I'd say that was seed planted in his mind by the new agent. Surely the club could just put his mind at rest?
It now seems that he had also signed two other pre-contracts - one with a Spanish club and one with an Italian club, both before 1st January. He's sounding like the sort of brain-dead player we don't really need.
Does anyone on here subscribe to The Athletic? It seems that, as well as details of what's happening with the other players mentioned here, Mr Leventhal has a rumour about a new keeper - by the name of Benitez. Or maybe it's a new Head Coach called Rafael....
Player's head has been turned by his agent. http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-s...ansfer-change-heart-feel-earn-much-elsewhere/
He might be good, but would he be if he doesn't really wish to be with us? I think that with the problems some clubs are going to face, earnings might take a sudden dip for new signings. He might find that he has been offered a good deal.
Apparently been paid a good signing on fee at the time. Definitely new agent stirring it. But I have heard the player described as mature so especially with the emergency as it is and as it unfolds over the next few months he might well find he has the best deal. Only issue I see is that outgoing transfer fees are likely to be subdued and we may well have been hoping to cash in on Doucoure which is unlikely to happen now.
