No and it seems this Wesley we were being linked to isn't coming now. Probably got told of the negative comments about him from some fans online and been put off!
Good signing as we needed a left back with decent Championship experience. Hopefully start of a few .
Best of luck for the future to Dan Gosling. Understand Ismael did not view him as part of his plans but he's fully fit and raring to go. A good guy and a good professional
Going to Stoke means he can probably live at home through the week tbh rather than staying in a hotel here.
Started well , then got injured and that was it really ! It does leave us short and Ngakia can be injury prone but some of the reaction to this has been a bit OTT again. I mean the bloke played about 6 games but some have made it sound like he was the best player and it’s a disgrace he has gone etc . No doubt had he stayed and started ahead of Andrews the same people would have complained about a young kid being pushed out. Yes I actually agree it leaves us very short and we have a lack of new players but then I didn’t expect a mass recruiting drive . Infact I might have kept a Kabasele or Cathcart in as cover tbh .
Finally our Georgian friend is official. Must have got his international clearance eventually. Hopefully his knees hold up ! (Had 2 previous serious injuries) Sounds like a decent player tbf . Just those injuries have held him back .
I wonder how long it will be before we see him play? Once upon a time, new signings used to walk straight into the team - but I can't see him being picked for Saturday...
If we have now got 9 subs instead of 7 put him on the bench Saturday to see a live game and how the manager works during a match and couple of runouts from the bench to see how much he can offer us
Watford’s 19-year-old Colombian striker Jorge Cabezas Hurtado is set to join MLS side New York Red Bulls on loan.
I agree with the Cathcart/Kaba comment, but Ferreira was less Ferrari, more Fiat, IMHO. Wanted to be the star rather than remember first responsibility as a defender. Prefer to see our young lads, including Ngakia.

Three new signings... https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/23711758.watford-snap-trio-youngsters-ahead-new-season/
Actually, we may have - the youngster from Motherwell is quite highly thought of. Although at 18 that doesn't necessarily mean much.
