    True - that is what I said elsewhere.

    We've all read things in the media and thought that was true..

    Its like when Holloway said all our loan players were "world class" - people then started to complain and say its a bit unfair.

    I sense a bit of fear and of course we probably wouldn't normally be expected to push for promotion so its a bit of a shock for some teams to have a new rival.

    If they were from some 2nd division team in Italy and Spain no-one would notice but Udinese are a top side so people will take note of players signed from there.

    If they want to blame anyone then look at the FL - they forced our hand to sign these guys on permanent deals and caused all this fuss about the "embargo" which was never there.

    Somebody said FIFA need to get involved - well they are trying to pick up the mess of giving Qatar the world cup ATM!

    We should take it as a sign that we've arrived - fans of massive, enormous, fantastic clubs like Leicester are all now coming on our forum to have a pop. Good stuff.

    Maybe people should start thinking for themselves and stop letting others, especially the ill informed and factually incorrect national press, do their thinking for them.

    And how bitter are those Leicester fans? Don't scratch your eyes <party>

    To be fair Bloother when you read something on the BBC you'd like to think it was accurate.

    Man, a lot fo unbalanced oipinions flying around on here.

    BEST NEWS IN AGES - a lot have signed up, more to come, apparently?

    NOW, Zola has to get them ALL geared up and raring to go, this is no easy league to get out of. We definately have a squad to challange now though.

    You'd like to think it, but even the Beeb's reporting is poor these days. Just because I'm paranoid...etc.

    The Foxes I know tell me they're normally busy in the transfer market by now. This year? Bought 0, sold 1 (Beckford). That's it.

    Because we're not cheating the system.

    We know that if we were to sign those 8 players we'd be royally ****ed by FFP.

    Where as you get away with it. Happy days for you, but you can't be proud of it?

    Well they seem to make a lot of mistakes in their reports unless its about Rooney or some other "top player" demanding a transfer.

    Of course we can, we've done nothing wrong - and, once again, the FL have sanctioned our every move.

    I know it's Friday night, but you appear to have partaken a tad too much 'bitter'. <laugh>

    Bollocks - where were all your complaints when Eriksson was being bankrolled to the hilt? Ah yes - there weren't any.

    Bitter? You mentioned bitter. I'm sure you mentioned bitter. Why did you mention bitter? It was bitter you mentioned wasn't it? I'm sure you said bitter. Why bitter, if it was bitter you mentioned? Bitter you say, bitter, bitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitterbitter

    I'm going to disappear for a while, I'm getting angry over a supposed intelligent poster who knows nothing about the rules and is accusing Watford of doing something wrong, even though these "wrong doings" have been sanctioned by the FL! <doh>

    Name one thing we did that wasn't out of the rules of the game.


    Every players was signed by Leicester City and the money we spent was accounted for.

    You can't honestly say that you think bypassing the FFP laws is fair.

    I'm absolutely bitter.

    We're trying to work out how the **** we're going to get under this 8m loss target set by the FL whereas you, who would have no chance if the signings had come through Watford's books, are getting away with it.


    I had no problems with the loans last season. Each were fair and in the rules.

    But these 'free' signings are ridiculous.
