http://www.wdsport.co.uk/2016/03/quique-sanchez-flores-to-shuffle-his-watford-pack-in-the-summer/ good read. Heurelho Gomes: Going nowhere. Costel Pantilimon: Only joined in January. *Rene Gilmartin: Hugely popular and perfect third choice, if he recovers fully from injury. Allan Nyom: Will be back-up to a new right-back. Juan Carlos Paredes: Under threat. Failed to make last two matchday squads. Jose Holebas: Will need convincing to stay while Sanchez Flores is in charge. Joel Ekstrand: Set to move on a free transfer. Sebastian Prodl: No need to find a new landlord for his Cocker Spaniel. Miguel Britos: The first-choice centre-half…when fit. *Craig Cathcart: A revelation and a firm part of the plans. *Ikechi Anya: Could Celtic revive their interest? Mario Suarez: Signed a four-and-a-half year deal in January. Adlene Guedioura: Arrival of Doucoure knocks him further down the pecking order. Ben Watson: Indispensable judging by how the team played against Stoke without him. Almen Abdi: Not guaranteed to be here when next season kicks off. Valon Behrami: He’s talked about wanting to return to Italy. 50/50, we’d say. Etienne Capoue: Loves it at Watford. Going nowhere unless Watford get a stupid offer. Jose Manuel Jurado: Much to the chagrin of some, he’s here to stay. Steven Berghuis: What the club do with him this summer will be fascinating. A season-long loan beckons. *Troy Deeney: Seriously? Odion Ighalo: Big price tag placed on his head by the club. Smart money on him being here in August. Nordin Amrabat: Here to stay. *Sean Murray: Needs to leave to restart his career. • Denotes home-grown
Think we will look at getting some new full backs as I suspect Paredes/Ake and Holebas will go.. Already got a new midfielder and striker of course!
I think that we can expect at least six new players, maybe more. So there will be some of the current squad that will be moved on that we will not be expecting.
Vydra if he can convince QSF - a maybe; Angella - I was surprised when he left on loan, but upon reflection he may be too lightweight; Layun - I'd like to see him back but suspect Porto will take up their option to buy (unless we recall him before the end of the season?) Ikpeazu, Pudil, Diamanti, Arlauskis - no And then there's the loanee who can't return as he has never been here - Juanfran. We will be looking for full backs, so who knows...
