Another forgotten man off to Portugal ? http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-s...n-move-portugal-set-sign-three-year-contract/
I can roll with it, yorkie, ‘cause we get Sarr, Pedro, Deulofeu, Ighalo, Asprilla and many more that are excellent.
That is my view And the ones that are not as good we never get to see anyway, apart from Success, such an unfortunate name for that player
Pussetto has gone on another season long loan - this time to Sampdoria. It seems that nobody wanted any of our other 'fringe' players as they're all still with us. I wonder why.
I always view transfers as an educated guess or best effort. You can never know how someone will work out, whether they will get injured, gel with the manager and rest of the squad, settle in a new country, develop as they age etc. Sometimes football it just alchemy, and a player will be amazing in one team and bang average in another. Therefore, you enter into this knowing some transfers won't work out, even if they were the right thing to do on paper. You have to accept a certain rate of failure that isn't your fault, but also accept some massive successes are luck and essentially play the percentages. The way to judge the transfer dealings as a fan I think is to look at the failure rate, rather than any individual player being successful, but also judge individual transfers on whether it was the right thing at the time on paper. Were they filling a need the squad had? Was the price right? Were there obvious warning signs? In that context, I think someone like Danny Rose, while a failure at Watford, made sense. Penaranda also made sense as an exciting young player with promise (although I'm sure we wouldn't have paid that price if it wasn't Udinese), although the failure rate from the forwards we bought at the time was high overall (Success, Gray, Sinclair etc.).
