    Dodi Lukebakio has completed his move from Watford to Budesliga side Hertha Berlin for a reported fee of £20 million.

    The Belgian spent last season on loan in the same division with Fortuna Dusseldorf, scoring 14 goals and assisting a further five.

    He made just one appearance for the Hornets, coming on as a substitute in a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United in February 2018.

    Speaking to Hertha's website, Lukebakio said: “Hertha is a big club in Germany and showed a lot of interest in me. I knew very quickly that I wanted to join the club. I want to play a lot of football here and score loads of goals.”

    We did not want to use him and the better he got the more he did not want to play for us

    Saw this elsewhere......


    Imagine doing a transfer teaser tweet for Wellbeck

    An ambulance pulls up outside their training ground. The camera slowly pans up to reveal a figure in a full body cast wearing the new Watford home strip. The ambulance lift slowly lowers the mysterious new signing to ground level. His two aides lift him underarms but still he falls to the ground. Face down the camera pans out, the name on the back of the strip is Wellbeck.

    He could be a tiptop signing. I am happy with it as he could add something different to the squad.

    An England international with a fair few trophies wouldn't come cheap if it wasn't for his injury record.

    I can only hope the deal is well structured - pay as you play even. He played 88 games in 5 seasons at Arsenal - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Welbeck - He is obviously a top striker but the jury is still out on this one as to whether he has regained fitness. He passed the medical, so that is a start.

    Maybe this means Okaka or Success will leave now?

    ¡¡COYH!!

    I’m pleased. From the YouTube highlights, he had speed and trickery, but no final ball. Success was like that in the early days - would anyone want to spend £40m on him now?

    I was having a little joke at YH putting Sarri by mistake and not Sarr !

    The latter still hasn't gone anywhere yet ..

    Who would have thought that little old Watford could compete and buy players with such a high reputation?
