Apparently they were forced to turn it down because he didn't want to go to China!

That's not how it works, Watford can still accept the bid and if he doesn't want to go to China then he turns the move down. If Watford wanted to sell him they wouldn't turn it down on that basis.

Ok so they accepted it, he said no, they turned round to the Chinese team & said no deal! Better?
 
Has anyone from Watford said they were FORCED to turn it down?

That was what was reported which is why I put FORCED in the first place!
Obviously if the player has said no then Watford will be FORCED to turn it down!
Forced does have more than 1 meaning you know, depending on how you use the word!

Jesus H... Do you even know how transfers work? There are 3 elements to any transfer of a contracted player - the buying club, the selling club and the player. If the player says no Watford 'are not forced to turn it down'. You only need to look at a recent high profile incident - Lester accepted a bid from Arsenal, it was then left to Arsenal and Vardy to discuss and the player rejected the move. Lester did not turn down Arsenal at any stage.

I really don't give a ****! I was just writing on here, what I read on SSN, whether it's the club or the player, the bid was turned down due to the player not wanting to go to China!
 
Four premier league clubs are interested in signing Hal Robson-Kanu.

Sauce BBC Gossip
 
PSG have completed the signing of Polish midfielder Grzegoz Kyrychowiak on a five year deal from Sevilla. Good player, but it feels like Ligue 1 is becoming a bit SPL like, with PSG winning every year and then the likes of Monaco, Lyon and Marseille hanging on the tail coats.
 
Ferriby have resigned Ben Middleton on improved terms for the coming season.

They have, however, missed out on former Tigers utility player Danny East, who has joined Guiseley.

Finally, another blow for Ferriby as player of the season Ash Palmer has also joined Guiseley as they offered a full time deal.
