    An initial £300,00 is the figure I read, but what is to follow I don't know. Have we taken the two from Villa instead of some payment on the Ashley Young deal?

    That's a possibility OFH. The ins and outs of transfer deals tend to pass me by these days :( I've also been wondering how we managed to sign a 'Premiership' player - albeit a fringe one - with our much publicised stringent wage structure. Hope there's nothing dodgy going on that the tax man will pick us up on!

    I feel sure that Mr B wouldn't want to be involved in anything to deny the taxman his due. <doh>

    Undoubtedly we have done a contra deal with Aston Villa &#8211; it would suit both clubs.

    Walker going out on loan again &#8211; he must rue the day he signed for us. To be honest I don&#8217;t know much about him even though he has been with us some time, I imagined he would play in a similar role to how Landsbury played for us. I don&#8217;t think he has been given enough of an opportunity myself.

    From our good friends at http://www.football-rumours.co.uk/watford-rumours.php

    Shocking last min bid sees QPR's Heidar Helguson heading back to Watford for £350,000. The Icelandic striker will be on a 2 year deal and is on his way to Watford for a medical today. Good news

    Watford to sign Nile Ranger on a 3 year deal. Fee undisclosed. Scott loach to Newcastle for £800,000.
    Charlton goalkeeper having talks at the moment

    Personally I think Heiðar Helguson is not the player we need now, for many reasons. Even as he is a favourite of mine.

    I think that SL is not the great option he once showed he might be. In two years of reading comments he has not made progress. Perhaps we should have sold him years ago and got a lot of money and let someone else worry about his not coming to collect crosses of commanding his penalty area. Sell him now for a small price and a new goalkeeping coach will make him a world beater. What the solution is is that Watford will not win with Scott Loach, we missed our chance.

    Hello Roo :) Usual thing to get more money , tie them up in a new contract stops them leaving on a free. Thats just a guess in this instance! We already have a striker the wrong side of 30 ,do we need another one? Would prefer to buy a younger striker tops 25/26 and hope he becomes the next DG :)
