    Not a bad record but he is going to be good enough or just another Mogi Bayat client ( agent we use for a lot of these deals apparently)

    From memory, he didn't exactly shine at Celtic a couple of seasons ago under Mr Integrity - but there were a few ahead of him in the pecking order. I just hope he doesn't turn out to be another Oulare.

    Exactly the same record as Stipe Perica at Mouscron (7 goals in 15 games) in the season before he joined Watford and he was not a great success. Why do Watford seem to only pay for players to play in the Championship when they are signed through Mogi Bayat?

    Andrew French in the Watford Observer wrote that Bayo scored 7 goals in 15 games, but another source stated that he scored 11 goals in 16 games for Charleroi. One can not really make a conclusive judgement about a player just from a 60 second youtube video in which he scores 4 goals (on the Voices of the Vic tweet). I shall wait to see how he plays for Watford, but I am not greatly optimistic based on what I have read about his past career.

    I know that Cucho Hernandez was a different type of striker, but I would have much rather kept him to play as a second striker, I found Giaretta's explanation of the reason why Cucho left to be entirely unconvincing - especially when Cucho has been replaced by another non-homegrown player.

    Medhi Bayat (Mogi's brother) is the Managing Director of Sporting Charleroi. The Bayat family seem to be making a lot of money from their association with Watford.

    Yes - not sure Edwards would make a full judgement on a young player with talent based on a few end of season games.

    I hope the club weren't trying to pin the Hernandez sale on him - almost would be better saying he wanted to go and the offer was too good to turn down.

    No longer keen on signing old crocks, it seems we now may be looking at signing young ones... Screenshot_20220622-072230~2.png

    The Zinc off?



    That is two potentially decent Championship players gone so will have to be replaced well.

    Don't want much, do they?

    I wonder who they have that they'd be willing to swap?

    I thought we were supposed to be after Swansea's Irish striker Michael Obafemi?

    Maybe got told politely to 'Go away'...

    Might have just been media talk .

    The club say we don’t need many new players as we have an “excellent squad “

    I know they have to be positive and say we are confident etc but not sure we do have one for now .

    While to go yet ..
