    My mistake. He remembers him well, though. “A very good half-back, feeding the forward players.”

    He was player/coach when I started following the club - was surprised to find out that he was quite young (30). Given his later coaching/managerial career, he obviously had one eye on the future back then.

    Yes. Better than our Joao, unfortunately. I think he’ll return to the Premiership, if anyone has half a brain.

    Wow..
    It seems Watford may have conned Granada a little.

    85p per Euro. Which equates to around £2.8m to Watford FC. Kerching! Shame about the rubbish exchange rate, eh?

    One who lost his way a bit. I seem to remember having high hopes for him as a left-footed player, but something went completely awry for him. In the five seasons since leaving us, he has only had about 60 first team games - with half of them for Coventry.

    Maybe it's all psychological - every debut he made for the clubs he has played for ended in defeat. When he went on loan to Dundee United, his first game was a 6-1 defeat at Falkirk - his performance was dire and the fans were rather cruel with their comments.

    I thought he was very good. I was quite excited about him, tbh. Was amazed when we sold him, although we’ve some very good LBs indeed, so I think it was right in retrospect. But he was Cov’s best against us (was that League Cup?). Good luck to the lad. :)

    Yes did seem to be highly rated but we don’t really give kids a chance or certain haven’t.

    I doubt it: there's the joint CEO's bonus to pay for and shareholder dividends...

    Oh for the happy old days of a Post Office that wasn’t suffixed plc.
