Apologies. My error: I was in too much of a hurry to post my comment. The report did state 50 million Euros (and not Pounds) as you wrote, but it is still a lot of money.
Sounds like a cheap loan option between the clubs. Manning sounds useful but not sure how true that is.
About Valecia's interest in Capoue - two statements that don't seem to gel... "Watford have dropped to the Championship, so any approach for the 32-year-old, who has two years left on his contract, should be relatively easy." "... and Valencia’s finances are in a mess right now." http://sportwitness.co.uk/impossibi...ees-club-identify-watford-player-alternative/
I think they will find it won't be easy dealing with Mr Pozzo and co. Even more so if it's an old manager trying to buy Capoue.
How much do you think Watford want to raise from outright Transfers ? 25m Doucoure 5.5 Wellbeck 10m Perayra? Delefeou 30m (after proving his fitness) - more likely a season loan with right to buy. Estupinan? 20m if he goes 1 x CB for 2 or 3m?
Gone quiet on Pereyra hasn't it? Most seem to be paper talk but clearly Delefeou wants to go despite that injury which might put teams off.
Would the Hornets be interested in the other Luis Suarez ? ! Apparently Ronald Koeman has told him that he doesn't feature in his Barcelona plans for next season. Suarez has said many times that he wants to finish his career at Ajax Amsterdam, and he still has many friends there - rumours have been going around that Ajax would settle for 20 million plus Suarez for Donny van der Beek. Many are sceptical about whether his love for Ajax is enough to tempt him into a large drop in wages - it would also involve standing in the way of their young talent, which is not their way of doing things - also they have a lot of other players for his position, and he doesn't track back in the Ajax way. Could he add a bit of bite to the Hornets attack
In talks to sign Alfie Mawson from Fulham apparently. https://www.footballinsider247.com/...to-sign-fulham-player-signed-for-20m-in-2018/
Details in @TheAthleticUK transfer news tracker just dropped on: Capoue to Valencia Doucoure to Everton Plus, Seirralta, Troost-Ekong & Mawson defensive reinforcements.
It now appears that Valencia are asking for a loan deal. I really can't see why that would be agreed to by Gino - he has two years left on his contract, will be 33 if he returns after a loan and his transfer value will have dropped. We'd be better off keeping him and hope he can help get us promoted again.
