Good call, AK - has improved since his Plymouth days & he silenced Ibrox with a well-taken goal on Saturday. Aberdeen don't want to lose him though - they've offered him a much improved contract.
24 Jan 2012 11:53:53 Mariappa looks to be on his way to Newcastle as an offer has been recieved by Watford, looks like him to Newcastle and Sordell to Fulham Source BBC Sport rumours Newcastle's offer for Marriappa was rejected. 24 Jan 2012 11:14:14 Watford have rejected a 2 million bid for Adrian Mariappa. Where as the daily mail are reporting that Watford have rejected a 3 million bid for Marriappa Very unlikely Watford would say no to £3m, but £2m is too low. 24 Jan 2012 10:10:59 Arsenal running the rule over Watford defender Adrian Marriapa over possible 4M transfer. Marriapa currently a target for Pardew's Newcastle however would rather stay in nearby to his London roots. The Watford defender currently has 18 months still to run on his current contract and would provide much needed funds for Watford to continue to rebuild. I guess Wenger is looking over the fence at the training ground.
I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere but this is a statement from Bassini from the Watford FC website: WITH both Marvin Sordell and Adrian Mariappa currently the subject of January transfer window speculation, Hornets' owner Laurence Bassini stressed that he is "not interested" in anything other than what serves Watford FC best. "We have our own priorities here at the club," said Bassini. "I've talked previously about how I thought Watford was viewed as a soft touch by some. Well not any more. "If people want to show serious interest in one of our players, then for me that means the kind of offer that this club couldn't refuse," he said. "The value of a player, to us, goes beyond just a transfer fee. We invest time and money into developing all our players so we do not want to see that wasted." Sounds good & fair to me.
24 Jan 2012 17:05:15 Francois zoko to Watford not true because Carlisle board has said after the dealings with Watford over Graham they will not consider transfer deals with them. Very good player though -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carlisle board are idiots then, they got much more than they deserved from the Graham deal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What cr*p. If the money is right they'll sell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Aldred!!! - What tosh 24 Jan 2012 15:54:02 Watford are on the hunt for Inverness CT and Republic of Ireland winger Jonny Hayes No need to hunt hes in inverness your sure to find him there! 24 Jan 2012 15:49:26 Walsall defender Manny Smith is wanted by Sheffield Wednesday and Watford
The football clubs linked with Marvin Sordell has grown to eleven. Arsenal Aston Villa Blackburn Rovers Blackpool Fulham Norwich City Southampton Swansea City West Bromwich Albion West Ham United Wigan I used bragis list as a start.
I would be happy if he went to Villa, Blackpool, Norwich or Swansea. I think the managers there know how to get the best out of him and are also likely to give him his shot rather than just dump him on the bench.
26 Jan 2012 08:45:56 Watford to get arsenals sanchaz watt on loan till the end of the season & watford will sign shrewsburys james collins for 500k -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is possible
He was always very under-rated in my opinion. I like the guy and think he would be a good creative player for us. Such a shame he was not given his chance.
He was a young lad who could pick a pass, liked to get forward and would also have the odd shot. He was a bit like Matty Whichelow and Piero Mingoia rolled into one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John-Joe_O'Toole
26 Jan 2012 23:18:00 Watford have made an approach for Leyton orients Dean cox and John parkin from Cardiff Wasn't Parkin a target for MM when he was with us?
I think you may be right there, but if he was & MM is now prepared to sell him, do we really want him?
"0856: The Journal claims Newcastle are set to table a final 'take-it-or-leave-it' offer to Watford for Adrian Mariappa." Let's hope it's the latter!
Daily Star "Brighton striker Will Hoskins is set to join Bournemouth in a £450,000 deal." Back down to his level I'd say.
I knew I had posted that somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. It is all taken from the Rumours site anyway
