https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...-willing-to-lower-15m-valuation-a3620036.html According to this we are back in for Gibbs - after Arsenal lowered their asking price by over 50%...
Still in talks about Gibbs - they have dropped their asking price - but will the player drop his wage demands?
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed the Hornets as the new favourites in the race to sign Manchester United winger Ashley Young, ahead of previous front-runners Aston Villa. The United ace would be an exceptional signing for Watford, and his ability to play in a variety of different positions would surely prove to be a major asset to Marco Silva''s men.
Fee now agreed - £5M - but, as you say, he needs to lower his wage demands. Sometimes I wish the salary levels in Education were subject to the same system, but I can well imagine the response I'd get from my boss if I started 'demanding'...

Still four days to go before transfer window closes - I suspect there will be a few goodbyes coming up.
Okaka could be off to Udinese - http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/watford-okaka-move-being-considered-by-udinese And we're still being linked with Leicester's Slimani - http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2017/marseille-watford-in-talks-for-islam-slimani/
Are West Brom fast become Watford C? http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/spo...ews/west-brom-transfer-rumour-albion-13543056 And they're even hoping to gazump us over Briggs. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-brom-watford-kieran-gibbs-11073814
Be a shame to lose Okaka. Useful lone striker to hold the ball up or to come on as a sub and give defenders the run around.. Certainly more than Gray did on Saturday.
BREAKING NEWS Sky sources: Watford have pulled out of a deal to sign Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs. We understand they couldn't come to an agreement over personal terms. Arsenal and Watford had agreed a fee last week. Good, if he is asking for too much money. The rumour was he is on about £80k at Arsenal so imagine he would want to similar to come to us. Glad we won't pay silly wages... So imagine it's now down to Gibbs on how realistic he thinks his market-worth actually is!
If you believe the rumour mongers Troy is very unhappy and will go to... Aston Villa - Birmingham Mail Birmingham City - Birmingham Mail Everton – Hertfordshire Mercury Leeds United – Birmingham Mail Leicester City – Leicester Mercury, Daily Mirror and The Sun Newcastle United - HITC West Bromwich Albion – Birmingham Mail and Hertfordshire Mercury Are the suitors. Anyone else wants to start a wild rumour.
