Sounds very promising.

BTW Why do I still keep reading some fans saying we cannot loan anyone!?

No doubt there will actually be a fuss made despite the fact the FL voted for allowing 5.
 
Technically it's 8. 4 from any 1 team, but only 5 in the match day squad. (Unless that is what you meant.... Sorry)

Latest;

@WatfordTalk: It looks like Mr. Pozzo has said Angella, Faraoni and Fabbrini will be coming to Watford. Great news. #WatfordFC

@WatfordTalk: Giampaolo Pozzo on Angella:

"He needed to play, Fabbrini with him and Faraoni all go to Watford to express themselves with continuity."
 
defenders Gabriele Angella and Marco Davide Faraoni - this REALLY pleases me.

NOW then, how many loans can we have from one club now? Technically it's 8. 4 from any 1 team, but only 5 in the match day squad, is that it as Kev mentioned?

Surely that means the other HAVE TO either go or sign premanently...
 
Vydra is NOT with the Udinese squad, at least he wasn't in any of the photo's I've seen nor has he been mentioned by the BiancoNero.

Fessi has posted a witty singalong on his fb page... see who you can spot?!
 
Rumour has it that many journalists and fans are confused as to why we are signing players. <wizard> They should have done thier homework.

HAHAAHAHAH <somersault> Pozzo's scouting network seems to be reaching into diverse areas.

Am I the only person on here that feels if Vydra doesn't want to rejoin us, then I really wouldn't want him if, by circumstances (i.e. his agent can't fandangle a move for him) he has to?

I kind of agree - I mean, can we replace a 20 goal a season player overnight? Probably not. However, I do want a player that will work hard and get us in to the Premier League week in and out. Will he be that guy?

We have heard a lot of noise from his agent, none of us know if he does or does not want to come back to Watford and remember it was not a bad season for him in terms of upping his profile last season. If he were to join us again and he bagged another 20 goals his stock would rise a lot further as 22 year old capable of consistent high returns. If he joined a premership team for example and did not manage to make an instant impact he would find himself warming the bench and may have to drop down by way of a loan to reignite his career. What he actually needs is some good advice and coaching to develop his career. He does have age on his side and if he does not look at his bank account as the main motivation, Watford would be a good fit for him next year. Time will tell.
 
The problem for the Pozzo's with Vydra is that he has 2 years only left on his contract and so to maximise his selling price he has to be in the right window this year to attract the best price if they don't sell him now. It doesn't make much sense for him to come back to us in the Championship and unless he signed a new contract he won't be back the year after either. They will sell.
 
A loan to a Premiership club sort of makes sense for Vydra. The Pozzo's get a fee, he gets a bigger wage (paid by the loan club). He gets a shop window in "the best league in Europe" (sic) and if he does well , his value goes up by a few million--probably by more than if he scored another 15/20 goals in the Championship for Watford. The risk for all parties is that he might flop in the Premiership , but he would have a high motivation to succeed. Another risk is that his development passes out of the control of the Pozzo system--would a loan club manager play him often enough , or in the right position or bring him on tactically?. Zola would, but could Allardyce or Di Canio be trusted to develop a prize Pozzo asset? That might be a factor--as are the wishes of the player himself.
