    Someone posted a list of players we could still have after this season.

    Most of them were still the old guard so to speak who maybe are past their best or players we hardly use now.

    I mean forgotten the like of Fletcher and Quina were still with us.

    Does make you wonder how much money has been wasted.

    EDIT: Here it is

    Another year of Kabasele.
    Another year of Gaspar.
    Two more years of Troost-Ekong.
    Another year paying for Quina
    Three more years of Kayembe.
    Two more years of Manaj
    Three more years of Ashley Fletcher
    Four more years of Bayo.
    Two more years of Kalu.

    That is at least £20m possibly even more that could be used to finance 3 or 4 players who could make a difference

    A bit harsh on Bayo - he's no Ronaldo but at least he's managing to score some goals.

    I'd forgotten all about Manaj - is he one of the walking wounded or just out of favour?

    Whoever made the list is wrong - we have more than two years of Kalu left.

    Surprised he lasted so long .

    Basically everyone is going apart from Giaretta?

    Do we have to pay all these people off ?

    I presume so, unless their contracts expire?

    Silly by Louza if found guilty.



    Total lack of discipline and very disgusting act so will rightly be punished if this holds .

    He was so good for Watford, and under Ken Furphy's leadership gave us fans something to smile about. Shame that his final season at the Vic was a disappointment with relegation. I really hope that the club does something to recognize his contribution to our clubs history. <rose> Sleep well.

    I remember watching Keith Eddy when I was still a schoolboy. He was captain of the Watford team which was promoted - for the first time - to Division Two (as it was then named - now called the Championship) and he was a very successful penalty taker. Recently he was appointed as one of the club's ambassadors and this year gave an interesting interview on the Hive. R.I.P., Keith Eddy.

    I can only remember him missing one penalty - in the 'crunch' game at Swindon in that promotion season.
    We all forgave him when Barry Endean scored the only goal of the game though.

    Will her fans be protesting at her matches ?

    Maybe people should concentrate on why she keeps changing and not really making much difference..

    Personally I think the problems really lie with her director of tennis.

    No, just based on our performances and reality that we are not promotional contenders at the moment.
