Surprised this hasn't been posted yet (unless I've missed it).

OFFICIAL: #watfordfc are delighted to confirm the signing of Roberto Pereyra from Juventus on a long-term deal.

From what I understand this is a bit of a coup from Watford. Supposed to be an excellent footballer.

Their Italian ownership helps, but yeah, solid player, IMO he's a Southampton/Everton level player

Starting to sound like we've finally given up on K2

Got a week and a half to sort out our threadbare defence.

Joel Campbell is going to Sporting on loan for some reason. Not like he is better than Ox, Feo, Sanogo or Akpom.

 

[Shoei]

He maybe but he's still not good enough.

Gnabry will be a better option.

 

[go you pups]

We're supposed to be pretty close to signing Ante Coric. Will be loaned straight out if he does come.

What's the sauce on that one? We were linked to him before the start of the window but haven't heard anything about him in like 2 months

Chelsea to troll us and get Mustafi.

We haven't made bids for him but have watched him closely. Guess once city come in we drop out

I thought he was signed sealed and almost delivery a couple if weeks back, what happened?

I assume haggling over price and a bit hesitant to drop a somewhat decent amount of money on a player that isn't a striker, as it's been said that has been a number one priority for a while now.
With the window closing in under 2 weeks, probably need to commit to signing at least one of our targets.
I honestly can't see Arsenal getting a striker, knowing Wenger he might try his luck in January.

 

[Latro]

Still a good bench option.

Gnabry has not played in 2 years really.

 

[FAITH]

poor guy, leaving lfc must be devastating:

 

[RossFC]

Wish Tekkers the best of luck. Good player in the right system.

 

[Cooldude]

It didn't work out but he seems like a nice man, good luck to him (except when he plays us!)

 

[Magma]

3 sentence statement and he discusses the 'hard moments'

shit mentality.

He is one of the biggest duds Juve have ever signed.

Got it off the CityWatch twatter. Was in one of the nationals, can't remember which. But it backs up a lot of talk around forums and the like that it's not far off happening. Apparently not the easiest of negotiations but two clubs not too far apart.

Yeah guess so

We normally treat City with respect re transfers and they show us likewise, there seems to be some mutual respect between the two clubs imo, they've never came in and tried tapping up one of our stars or come over the top on deals we have in the pipeline


Chelski on the other hand, **** em

we already have a london feeder club.

I know

And you have a couple of Merseyside feeders also

He's not a dud, but I think he was overrated for a while by some media and FM/FIFA games etc

Soton/Everton level player imo

Hope not.

Got a week and a half to sort out our threadbare defence.

Last year, we spent the whole window chasing Stones and steadily increased our bids before being snubbed at the end of the window. We then turned our attention Marquinhos. PSG said no so we ended up signing some shit truck that no one has ever heard of.

This year, we spent the whole window chasing Koulibaly and steadily increased our bids before being snubbed at the end of the window. We then turned our attention to Marquinhos. Guess what happens next
