    If I'm honest, that's exactly how I read it BB. Give him a season in the Prem on loan with a team, and if we do go up then send him to us the season after. Satisfies him, his agent, and gives him Prem experience. Just a shame we won't have him to get us up!

    It's the only reason why I think the Pozzo's would loan him out rather than sell him.

    Just how much have we heard from Vydra? Plenty from that agent of his, but nothing from the player. He is tied to Pozzo for another two years and they tell us little until everything is sorted. One way or another he will be on his way, if not now, then January or next summer, but they want to get as much for him as possible. They have to make up their minds just what they will let him go for.

    I'd love to know where Walesonline got their goal figure from - he "only" scored 22. As they got that simple fact wrong, I wonder how much, if any, of the article is accurate.

    But why would they loan him to anywhere but us? We all know that a player decreases in value by almost half when he enters the last year of his contract! The Pozzos know this and as businessmen they want to maximize their profit margin on every player and sell him at his peak value. If nobody meets their valuation he is either going to bench warm at Udinese or come back to us.

    Udineseblog:

    The Pozzo family intends on Watford in the elite of English football and to do that he wants to give Gianfranco Zola an even stronger team last season. For this purpose the leadership giallonera is about to announce the arrival of several players from Italy and abroad. The Hornets would be on the verge of signing the talented Paraguayan Javier Acuna, 25, striker under the Real Madrid B team he left to play the last two seasons on loan at Recreativo Huelva and Girona. In Spain it is said that the agreement would be close to materialize. As for reinforcements from Italy, arrive at the court of Zola Angella while very hot names for a possible transfer in North London are those of the Pharaohs, and Ranegie Fabbrini.

    Shame that we don't have a forum member in Italy who could pop along to the training camp.:(

    If I had the money I would be there. There would be no hesitation. But unfortunately money is an issue.

    Call yourself a fan? Only joking Dan<whistle>. I'd love a footy related field trip out to watch the boys. I can't wait for some hard news on new signings.

    Mainly because he doesn't want to come back... Or make that his agent doesn't. The agent wants him in the premiership to eventually make a big move further down the line. I am just theorising, but maybe they've agreed that they'll let him have one season on loan in the Prem on the premise that he goes to watford the season after if we go up... Signing a new contract with us, and we will let him go if we ever get a big offer for him. its all just guess work but its very unlikely he's coming back this summer

    Also;

    @PozzoPower1: According to a Sky Sports reporter, Marco Faraoni has agreed to join #WatfordFC.

    Also a rumour the young championship player from the championship is Sam Byram from Leeds... Their fans would love that

    But then this was on another forum:

    A future yet to be deciphered, to Marco Davide Faraoni, right outside of Udinese, who has not spent a season in the high-sounding of Udine. After being rescued by the Inter finally, the Friuli decided that the player will gain experience, although Dusan Basta, the holder in his role as the Bianconeri should remain dramatically. According to Il Messaggero Veneto, the player is not paticolarmente excited to go to Watford, but would like to stay in Italy, where there are several clubs interested, with pole in Sassuolo.

    Hopefully it can all be sorted - its good to be linked to such players with potential but even better if they really do become ours!

    Same Udinese blog seems to suggest we don't want Abdi!

    Feels that is unlikely.

    If true - it seems we may have already prepared for the loss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakub_Kosecki
