From my watford mate re Tozser and Angella
Morning, Beth!
Tozser left us at the end of last season, before we made any of our new 12 signings. He’s a classy midfielder, able to tackle, good dead-ball taker: our only worry last season was that he seemed too slow for the Championship. I don’t think he’s got a club at the moment (I seem to recall that he was on loan to Udinese from Parma), and so if you’re giving him a medical it looks like he’ll be your player soon.
I’d be a bit surprised if Angella left, though I suppose it’s possible he’d go to you on loan. He’s generally excellent at centre-back, again classy, can see a pass, too, and scored a wonderful backheeled volley from a corner once. Occasionally, though, when you think he’s defending his centre-forward well the other guy will get a run on him and you’ll suddenly concede. But I hope we keep him – one of our other new signings, Britos, who was bought as cover for our starting centre-backs, played his first game on Tuesday, following a suspension for headbutting in Italy, and got sent off on his debut.
But you’re right, we do have a problem in only being able to have 17 foreigners in our 25-man squad, and some old favourites will have to be shipped out – maybe on loan in the UK, but of course we could always just redeploy them to Udinese or Granada (in countries where they don’t have these restrictions and where the teams are consistently better than English ones …).
So both good...we will see soon
