He also states that retaining players in the current squad is 'highly important' - which, to me, is a nonsense. There are quite a few who need to be moved on as they're simply not good enough or consistent enough - Bachmann, Porteous, Morris, TDB, Ince and Kayembe spring to mind immediately. Not to mention Sissoko.
But neither appear capable of dragging the team up to their exalted level. Georgi tries but too often comes to nought with the final pass, Imran is more an inspirational moment (that pass!) player, but we're lacking someone who can lift the team by example, a Les Taylor, Allan Nielsen, Andy Hessenthaler, type. IMHO, FWIW.
Porteous going back to Hibs? https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman....us-watford-sunderland-nectar-triantis-5151190
No idea how true this is but sure our fans will be willing to drive him there ! https://x.com/thewatfordway/status/1928521797365809379 Although probably play a blinder v us next season if this happens. And Sierralta off too - again a good fee to get ? https://x.com/louorns/status/1928543366557376669 https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/25204914.watford-defender-set-complete-move-auxerre-1-5m/
Defender Francisco Sierralta is on the verge of agreeing a move to French side Auxerre The 28-year-old Chilean internationals is in advanced talks with the Ligue 1 side over a move that could net Watford in the region of £1.5m https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/25204914.watford-defender-set-complete-move-auxerre-1-5m/
That is a good fee for someone who has basically been a squad player in recent seasons . Bit injury prone and reckless but did have an excellent season in the last promotion campaign.
Don't hold your breath. Leeds, West Ham, and Fulham are eying him off too. https://the72.co.uk/2025/06/02/watford-leeds-united-eye-striker-davie-selke/
I wouldn't take that. If you watched PSG demolish Inter yesterday, you will have seen lots of very quick players for them. Baah has pace, and a bit to spare? He needs forwards who can get in the box far quicker.
Baah is our best asset, if he gets a full fit season he'll be worth 30m. Particularly if we got promoted or top 6.
Didn’t he start at palace, before being let go? We need to keep him if we are to be serious contenders, I don’t think 7m is crazy enough money that Pozzo can’t turn it down - triple or quadruple it and they may think about it
