r/Watford_FC

It seems to me he's in an bit of an awkward position. He's not good enough for the PL, but most other teams in the championship (or even other countries' top flights) won't want to spend megabucks on someone his age with zero resale value.

I can see this one being a deadline day Udinese switch.

Two outgoing players that surprise no one. No details on how much the fees were, which I suspect is the club's way of attempting to give as little indication as to the state of the finances.

Take the fact that Irankunda scored more times for Australia (Palestine, Canada, Curaçao x2, Turkey) than Watford (4 goals, 2 of which were direct free kicks against Swansea and Southampton) last season, any way you like. Young player with still a lot of potential, showcased at the World Cup. Good luck to Nestory!

I feel a little bad for Petris, since he was brought in for a system that hasn't been used by the last two coaches and then he was competing against his first name compatriot (Ngakia) for RB. Good luck to Jeremy!

Unsurprisingly it has been confirmed that Selvik is out of the club on loan for the season. He’s felt complacent for the last 6 months at least. Hopefully at least one of the new keepers can step up.

Did anyone go?

How did we look? From the 3 mins of highlights it didn’t seem too bad but I’m a little concerned we had 36 shots and didn’t score outside of a WORLDIE.

As poor as he is I don’t think Kjerrumgaard is anywhere near this conversation compared to players like Manaj and Jebbison.
