Sorry, it's only 3 years; Cristian Battocchio ‏@CrisBatto18 Very happy with my new contract with Watford! Three years more with Hornest T-Shirt! Come on Watford!! pic.twitter.com/gBshpwVHWd
I notice that the BBC are reporting that Pudil is the first loanee to sign permanently - obviously Fernando Forestieri doesn't exist. Great journalism as usual!!
Our next two signings, so rumour has it: 1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matías_Campos 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_Ranégie Number 2, it seems, will be a permanent signing to replace Vydra who is apparently either staying at Udinese or going on loan to Palarse - how ironic.
BTW Linked to an Hungarian midfielder. http://www1.skysports.com/football/...el-Tozser-focused-on-Genoa-after-Watford-link
Apparently we've been linked with a non-league footballer, probably from St Albans town. Zola commented that 'If Charlie Austin was a bricklayer a few years ago, it just goes to show, this lad might really have a chance.' St Albans town falied to comment on this saying that 'no-one is a bricklayer from their team and that Zola had slipped up again like at home to Leicester.' Check the link, www.notthisseasonthanksBaz.com Also, it has been rumoured that during pre-season: Forestieri and Zola have both been seen testing new non-slip shoes and studs at the new training camp. FF said ' I find it hard to dive in these and the boss said the new loafers were celebration proof.' Ikpeazu has tipped of Zola that Reading's Mariappa might be good and defended his stance on the Jamacain born sounding Italian national. Mariappa had been seen in Watford a lot a while back, so this confirms rumours. Deeney isn't allowed near to the security guards at the grounds in case he mistakes them for bouncers. Vydra has been sent a rattle by other squad members as he feels he is better than the mighty Horns. Fits Hall was seen shopping in poundland for a new hamstring but couldn't find a decent one that wouldn't ping. Lloyd Doyley is considering poses for a foolsgold statue that will be put up at the end of his career. He is taking tips from Foolateli whist in Italy on good statue poses. Tamas Priskin is looking for an Italian passport and has called Zola under the alias of T. Priskini. Subsequently, he failed under questioning about his understanding of the new offside rule. Zola flagged him up to the authorities. The Pozzos are considering new names for the East Stand and have put fowards the Elton Taylorini Stand but this rumor might have few foundations to sit on. John Barnes has recenlty got an Italian agent and registered as a player for Waatford FC. He hopes to push his dream move through to Italy before his career ends and now that Blissett is out of the way, he said he stands a better chance of making it in Italy. Italy, convenientely and coincidently are short of left footed players, boosting his chances. Barnes also pointed out that the shape of the country represents a toe punt, not like his cultured left peg. Personally he said 'I'd curly Sicily into Sardinia not punt it into Tunisia.' Italian authorities have misread his comments and translated this into 'Sicily is not worth punting.' Barnes now hopes to push a move through to a northern City and blames the media. Some might consider these far fetched but seriously who could make up s£$t like this in just a few minutes. That is all from various rumour sites, for now.
Charlton Athletic rumour. They are looking to buy Iketchi Anya for GBP 450 000,-.I laughed loud for that.
Reported elsewhere that Alex Geijo is back with the squad but not sure if that is just a flying visit so to speak or with the view to a transfer.. TBH If he didn't play much last season is he going to get anymore chances o could be back up for Deeney I guess.
There's been pics of him with the lads, one with him in the 'Cool as Cassetti' t-shirt The latest on him: "Alex Geijo travels to Udine to start the preseason with the club but hopes to clarify its future these days" quoted from the Udinese twitter feed Looks like just a flying visit to chat with the lads. Just don't think he had enough pitch time - but understand why he was down the pecking order!
