So notice to all bidding clubs is in his words "This is the starting price"
I just cannot see KP dropping to come back to WFC just because of some old affection - this is not the way football is. But I do believe Hornette's post above... Watford Chairman Laurence Bassini to put a £6.5M price tag on Danny Graham. So notice to all bidding clubs is in his words "This is the starting price" Any decent owner would do the same....If this is true, I will become more impressed by the day
Totally agree w_y, it doesn't mean we'll get six and a half for him, but it should lift the bids out of this silly two and a half to three mil mark.
Agreed Leo , Hopefully another interested party in DG should help to up the price! what I do find interesting is that stoke would want Holt! Why not stoke go for DG and cut out the middle man so to speak! Rumbles that Qpr are getting set to up their bid!
Like about double would do for starters! Nice to see Baz is holding out for 6.5M If true, the man is going up in my estimations , lets give credit where its due!
04 Jun 2011 09:34:10 walsall fc to sign kevin phillips from Birmingham City on a one year deal. He will have the option for a second to do his coaching badges. He will turn down offers from watford and brighton to sign with the saddlers because he does not want to travel long distances. Walsall will also goin Jordan Cook on a season long loan from sunderland.
04 Jun 2011 07:17:20 Bennett definitely goingto Norwich, confirmed in local rag that fee agreed. Only question is how much, £1m not enough as big sell on clause to Wolves. Expect Buckley to move from Watford to Brighton immediately as soon as the Bennett deal is done.
Remember last pre-season when we feared the worst but ended up a with a half decent if small squad... Let's hope Malky has a good plan again this time... and we have the luck of the draw with loanees.. However I am seriously worried about our side without good goal scoring options. Without half of DGs goals last season and with our leaky defence we would have struggled to get up the table.
Although Yorkie we didnt have a lb for half the season , I`m not saying thats the sole reason we let in so many,but it couldnt have helped! This season is I feel pivotal for the club! If we can stay up and reduce the debt to more manageable levels ,getting ever closer to self sustainability! That would be a big success! If we go down ,well that makes things a whole lot harder,but still wouldnt be the end of the world!
Marvin Scordell was scoring before he was rarely played..and Deeney has to score well soon...it's certainly not for lack of trying..
ok... I do feel that graham exceeded expectation which is why we were up there for a while... not sure i understand why sordell was played the way he was..... and yes sordell and deeney may be successful.... but not a proven partnership in any way .. but what do i know
DG was a great find! Like Hornette I think Troy will come good especially if played in position! Proven in this case means expensive !! MM has to work on the cheap as has to guess what would work, He aint doing to bad at that! a couple of quality loanees to add some depth a left back and KP ,we should be ok!
