One does not need to have any inside knowledge in order to realize that this report is nonsense. Burnley is not going to spend so much on a player, who scored two goals in the Championship last season, and Gino Pozzo will almost certainly wait until Doumbia reaches a much higher ceiling before he sells the player. Watford would also be left very short of strikers: Vivaldo Semedo is still waiting for his visa and Luca Kjerrumgaard has not yet signed nor received a work permit.
Exactly . Also the fee suggested is more than they wanted to buy Georgi allegedly for which snows it must be rubbish !
One of the forgotten men leaving ? https://insidefutbol.com/2025/07/15/club-very-advanced-in-bid-to-sign-watford-star/688597/
Well Sky seem to be tracking one of our potential new signings. https://x.com/Plettigoal/status/1945243837384761665
Well it seems there was a bid which we rejected. https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/25317127.watford-reject-10m-burnley-mamadou-doumbia/ I guess they are hoping he will become worth more but certainly would have been a very good offer to take . Presume the 10 million was made up of all sorts of clauses and instalments ?
Actually a very good offer. Interesting that reviews of our strikers say he is the one with most promise. But if we sell him are we shooting ourself in the (strikers) foot.... and if he proves himself this season then his value will surely rise.
Yes people complain about Sissoko but seem happy to want someone older . I know Young keeps fit well but we can get more long term options if Ngakia or Andrews aren’t seen as good enough ?
Are we going to do a big announcement of two or three new signings at once? Two appear to be in the country and had their medicals.
