Transfer Rumours Summer 2025Transfer Rumours

Derby fans know what happens when owners hire ex star footballers because they are a name and let them spend over budget and then fail

 

That is... disturbing, almost. Crikey!

 

So disturbing that it seems to have been removed.

 

Pierre Dwomoh signed.

Young Belgium midfielder.

The Under-17 international is seen as one for the future by Hornets head coach Tom Cleverley.

 

Yes although at 20 might be involved with the first team .

 

Jebbsion playing for Bournemouth tonight .

I presume it was the only way we could get him by allowing them to play him ?

 

Well maybe it will still happen but if they wanted him loaned out then why play him? Doesn't make much sense to me.

 

I only watched 10 minutes, but he appears to be put on the wing, and not a central striker.

 

Yes .

Be cup tied for the league cup now too .

 

Jebboion having a medical.

Bayo gone.......

......and back on loan

 

Bayo loaned back to Watford after signing for Udinese | Watford Observer

Another accounting fiddle I guess.

 

Jebbison and Kebben incoming too

 

And, true to form, Kebben apparently has a 'knee issue' which will keep him out of action until October.

 

Paying 5 million for him was a sham in the first place tbh!

I suspect if we were a big club or in the PL we'd be in trouble more.

 

This is common practice now, how many times do Prem Clubs buy a lower league player and loan him back for the season or loan out to another lower league club

Man City own several teams in Europe and do the same thing openly and no-one questions it because Man City own the Premier League and several of the referees

 

Oh yes Football club do all sorts now and get away with it if they can .

 

Ai, but between two clubs with the same ownership? I guess it is somewhat common.

Also, what was the fee? Bet it was overly inflated. Just like the Kamara deal. That is the book cooking part.

Wrong really, it'll come back to bite us.

 

They did investigate that but nothing happened.

I mean the authorities seem happy to let us swap players - just not loan a whole load .
