I heard that Chelsea's Frank Lampard is considering a shock move to Championship side Watford. He has promised to let ex teammate Zola know within the next week regarding a player / future coaching role after revealing that money is no longer his driving force and wants a fresh challenge.
 
Added my thoughts...

Djourou is apparently wanted by Hannover, so I suspect that one is out - didn't thought it would be on anyway.

Bookies are offering 7/4 that Lampard will join the Struggling Steptoes
 
I thought Harry Redknapp wanted to lose the people earning too much. How can QPR justify Frank Lampard unless he is like a prize wife, one you pay lots of money for.

Unlike for a prize wife, money may no longer be an issue for him. ;) I'd hazard a guess that, like a lot of Chelsea players, he has more of the stuff than he knows what to do with anyway.

brighton player mackail smith may finally make his dream move to watford, as watford are lining up a 1 million pound bid for him

Nottingham Forest have put a 3.5million bid in for watford striker Troy Deeney!

2 Jan 2013 11:09:58
Watford defender Tommy Hoban could be set for a move to Peterborough as Gianfranco Zola looks to bring in another loanee from either Udinese or Granada, and Posh see Hoban as an ideal replacement for Gaby Zakuani, who has joined up with the DR Congo squad for the African Cup Of Nations

02 Jan 2013 07:20:04
Hull City and Watford will fight it out for the signature of Fraizer Campbell, who has only six months left on his contract.

Gawd they come up with some tripe! ;)
 
And still they come........

Wigan Athletic are looking to prise Watford's 18-year-old Tommie Hoban from his long-term contract in exchange for Premier League football.

Plymouth Argyle to sign Bernard Mensah on loan from Watford.
 
Latest from the Rumours Site;)

Crewe are in talks with Watford over the possible loan signing of Striker Chris Iwelumo who's loan at Notts County has concluded. Steve Davis and Neil Baker (assistant) have however put the deal on hold before a decision is made on the current on-loan Fulham forward lauri dalle valle who has scored 5 goals in 11 appearances for the ever improving Railwaymen. The Wage of Iwelumo remains the biggest obstacle for the south cheshire club who aim to get a striker in before the close of the transfer window. Whether that still be LDV or not remains to be seen.
Another striker on steve davis' radar is out of sorts AFC Bournemouth striker Matt Tubbs. A short term loan is one option but due to the league standings, moving to a rival club looks unlikely at this moment in time.

according to other football sites grant holt is on his way to watford ... i hope this dont happen

03 Jan 2013 11:29:41
Zola is rumoured to be leaving Watford but in strange deal that would see him effectively swop with the current udinese manager Francesco Guidolin. The pozzos feel that this would help Watford get promoted and aid udinese to a European competition place.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is ridiculous. they wouldnt swich managers. ezch manager knows the club and players at their respective clubs. switching them will destroy the hopes of both for the season


03 Jan 2013 15:43:24
Cheltenham Town are interested in resigning former striker Chris Iwelumo, but a almost certainly going to be priced out of a move for the Watford man.

Forest Green Rovers captain Eddie Oshodi is a target for local rivals Cheltenham Town, who are considering a £25k for the former Watford defender.




03 Jan 2013 15:41:11
Troy Deeney has been linked with a £3.5m move to Forest this January with the striker out of contract in the summer but Watford are said to be keen to do a straight swap with Henri Lansbury.




03 Jan 2013 15:37:25
Lloyd Doyley has been told he can leave Watford. As of yet there is no interest in the player but should this be made public knowledge there may be clubs interested.
 
I tried to get "Watford are confident of signing Udinese defender Ferrero Rocher on loan for the rest of the season" on the rumour site, but they didn't bite.
 
Watford FC News ‏@News_WFC
Apparently Aston Villa are interested in Troy Deeney

Could he resist a return to his aptly named old 'stomping' ground? :(

According to Sky, the club are trying to sort out a long term contract with Troy Deeney as his current one runs out this summer.
 
In an ideal world you'd hope Deeney might show some loyalty to the club who supported him through the troubled times...but then footbal isn't like that.
 
Lots of 'Rumpers' ;)

Personally, I don't think we'll see many ins and hopefully a few outs back to Granada or Italy and a few out on loan.

Would like another decent centre back in, we are obviously playing well but shipping too many goals. What has happened to Nos?
