I'm trying to find match reports of last night's game between Jamaica and Panama.

If this can be trusted, Mariappa was due to play and considered part of their strongest team, but from the Spanish match reports I've seen so far it doesn't look as though he actually made the pitch. It also mentions that he missed training on Friday through injury. Hopefully it's not serious.
 
Loving the first one <laugh>

Cardiff are understood to be interested in Shrewsbury striker James Collins. Malky Mackay will first need to check with Watford manager Sean Dyce to make sure he is one of Watford's top transfer targets before making an offer.

Reading have agreed a fee for Watford defender Adrian Mariappa.

Watford will loan Reading goal keeper Mikkel Andersen on a season long loan in return.

Watford Head of Transfers Ross Wilson was seen at stevanage tie against sheffield united watching Luke Freeman and bid to be around 450k for the winger and also seen at the league 2 play off tie between Crewe and Southend and was scouting Ajay Leitch-smith bid to be around 350k for the striker WATCH THIS SPACE !!!!

LOL! But for the second quote, I would love to see all those players here but do you really think Owen would come to Watford with the wages he has.
 
Bassini can't guarantee funding ...... new owners by end of week :shocked: according to ex Wobby journo Kevin Affleck

It seems as if this rumour is gathering pace. Jon Marks knows about it and Kevin Affleck is now saying that it is a wealthy European who will buy it. Supporters Trust welcome it if it turns out to be true.
 
Not wishing to spark a wild rumour here, despite the title of this thread. But has anyone read anything from someone reliable (Affleck, Marks, the Wobby etc) to suggest that the guy's surname isn't Russo? The only thing I can remember along those lines were from Bassini to the Wobby, categorically denying that he was a frontman for the Russos.
 
Be a shame if this summer is spent with more uncertain news off the field after the hard work by Dyche and the team to get us to 11th last season.

It does worry me that although Bassini appears to have good ideas and supported Dyche quite well over transfers that we keep hearing he has a lack of funds etc.

Might just be people anti-Bassini making up rumours ofcourse..
 
I see that Kevin Affleck is sticking with his story.

@CLDWOOD It's about providing evidence of future funding. My solid information is that he won't be able to provide that today.

From what I remember every FL club has to confirm that it will have the funding to get through the coming season, and the FL have their meeting starting tomorrow when such assurances have to be given. I am not sure if this rumour is correct or not, but do ask why he is prepared to stick his neck this far above the parapet if it is not true.
 
lets hope so Barry ,Here we go again ,never boring being a watford fan! would also explain why we have sold or bought in any players yet! You get the feeling the end game of last summer is now coming into play
 
IF someone new comes in then:

1. They need to let Dyche stay.
2. They must respect the youth system we have.
3. They must put the sand up.
4. They have to bring some financial stability for a few years.
