Summer window

I’m really excited by him. More so for in 2-3 years than now. But the fact we’ve given him the number 7 shirt really surprised me as from the limited I’ve seen he’s not “ready” yet. Mind you he’s so young that he could literally rapidly improve in a month.

so you can only assume they expect him to have a major impact this season. Which is quite exciting.

 

Absolutely no need to go after that one.

 

Nothing really specific mate. They said he was great to coach, always wanting to learn. Great attitude. Really calm in the game, which is massive. Lots of scope to improve and probably not yet settled on a best position.

 

cricket thread?

 

Great stuff, thanks.

 

Doh.

 

Yeah, he's incredibly exciting. Even in the play offs, he came on and looked really confident, speedy and slick on ball. Let's hope his injuries are behind him

 

I think he could longer term but not at the minute, so much harder playing with your back to play in CM then dropping into central areas occasionally

The lad has the right attitude to play there long term tho

 

Don't know if I'm bias having seen him over a couple of years I just feel really comfortable watching him, he very rarely loses the ball , demands when he's under pressure, he retains possession incredibly well, like has been said he can play either side and I do see Hume moving in to that CDM role at some point, even if it's not a permanent fixture it's an option, one that would have been ideal when Evans was out

 

I played on either wing and occasionally up front, I would defend as I was lazy and I couldn't play CM as I just wasn't good enough, it's probably the hardest position on the pitch, my son plays there and asks me different things and I havnt got a clue what to advise, other than you need eyes in the back of your head, have half a second on the ball and there are possibly 4 players coming from different directions to challenge you, it makes you realise how good the top CMs are when they make it look so easy

 

I used to hate playing central midfield. Def the hardest position on the pitch in my eyes

 

Underwhelming one for Watford

 

We are well away from being even close to FFP limits. It's a 3 year cycle for FFP and last year was year 1 and we where well under its rules and regulations.

I don't think this year will be any different unless we suddenly spend £20 odd million and sell no one

 

Jonny Evans! a ready made shoe in if he's fit.

 

£10m. Shocking.

 

Bad value that. Let them crack on

 

Why would he leave Leicester (on Prem wages) to come here?

 

Because he said he was leaving

 

7-10 million? Where have they plucked that ****e from?

 

**** that.
