[firefly]

oh.

[StuBoy]

Definatly Xavier Gravelaine MK II. It's 1999/2000 all over again. I'm in a time warp! Boothroyd even looks like Taylor from a distance, King (aka Mooney) is injured...Clint Easton will soon be resigned....Chris Day will return...ahahahah!

[PaddingtonsYellowArmy]

Are we a community club or a communist club?:)

[Big Dave Airey]

From now on he shall be known as 'Saggy'!!

Didn't Jamie Moralee used to pull faces like this one!!

[Big Dave Airey]

Two threads for one player!!

Must be definite.

Two pics and both show him puffing his cheeks!!

[Big Dave Airey]

Make that 3 threads. Keep up firefly/admin!!

[firefly]

sorry.. didnt notice!

[wfc4ever]

Don't we usually have people on trial anyway and lets give the lad a chance to even get pass this before dismissing him as rubbish or whatever.

At least the Polish bloke will be cheap and probably not on much in terms of wages unlike a lot of Premiership rejects/Championship 'stars'

[Big Dave Airey]

Untired.

At least he won't be sleeping alot then!!

[Defunct]

Merged the threads, apologies if it looks a bit mixed up in places ;)

[PaddingtonsYellowArmy]

Why's this thread a bit mixed up in places ?:)

:confused: :confused: :confused:

I'll merge this one into the other two and really confuse everyone ;D

[reindeer horn]

At least he won't have trouble settling in, plenty of fellow Pole's in the area!

[GscottW]

something tells me we're going to regardless!!!

[WatfordÉire]

something tells me we're going to regardless!!!

i agree but i dont give a **** as long as he score goals!

[wfc4ever]

I think Priskin actually cost 1 million though so not very cheap....

[WatfordÉire]

this, if it goes through will be a 6 month loan deal with the availibility of a permanent move.

[Hornmeister]

How the hell are we going to come up with a song for him. I can't even begin to think how you pronounce his name.:confused:

[WatfordÉire]

thers definatley only 1 Marek Saganowski, only 1 Marek Saganowski;D

[Hornmeister]

Your right as far as the interweb is concerned.

Hearts offered £350k for him in July 05, not sure what he'd be worth now?

[jobr]

Ho Hum

[Hornmeister]

No, I think you'l find it's Ho Ho Ho;D

[WatfordÉire]

you scumbag, ya maggot, ya cheap lousey ******:cool:

[Hornmeister]

[WatfordÉire]

[Hornmeister]

[WatfordÉire]

and the bells are ringin' out for christmas day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lowerrous]

thers definatley only 1 Marek Saganowski, only 1 Marek Saganowski;D

'One Saganowski, there's only one Saganowski' would fit the tune.

His name's not difficult to pronounce; just remember that 'w's are pronounced as 'v's.

[sexybadger]

I've just found a compilation of goals from this Polish geezer we got on trial. He don't look half bad....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCV_FORI-jw

:D

[WatfordÉire]

theres already another thread on this mate

[sexybadger]

theres already another thread on this mate

DAMN IT! :mad:

[GscottW]

3 goals in 16 isnt too good though. Better than DHs 0 goals in 17 I suppose! About a minute of that compilation is the same shot shown from many different angles. Having said that he can certainly hit it!

[wfc4ever]

That is at International level though which isn't easy ofcourse.

Looks like a good European forward though and worth a risk on a loan deal with not a massive wage/fee involved unlike a lot fo English strikers.

[Hornmeister]

He's better than what we've got at the moment, nothin!

[The Voice of Reason]

He certainly looks good on the videos, but how long ago were they filmed?

Having said that, he looks quality, and he should not have lost that at the age of 28?

[WatfordÉire]

He's better than what we've got at the moment, nothin!

very true

[TivertonHornet]

Sign him up ASAP. Can't be any worse than we have at the moment. The lads are trying but without Marlon its like Pi**ing in the wind.

I hope he will follow Billy Sharp of Scunny and a.n Other.

Yellow army keeping the faith even if we look like we are doomed !!!

[lm_wfc]

he looks good!
im excited

[The Voice of Reason]

I have C+P the report below from another thread, because it seems strange that we kept that guy for 4 WEEKS, and then rejected him, but we are going to make a decision on Saggy...whatisname in 4 DAYS!

As the author of the post below says........

Are we getting desparate or what ? :confused:

Default Rafik Djebbour
From Sky Sports...

Rafik Djebbour has returned to Greece following an unsuccessful trial with Watford.

The 22-year-old striker has been training with the Premiership club for the last four weeks but failed to impress manager Adrian Boothroyd and did not earn a deal.

It seems The Hornets did not impress Djebbour either though, as reports in his homeland suggest he did not care much for their style of play.

Djebbour has now declared that he will not return to Atromitos Athens and will look for a new club instead.



Are we getting desparate or what ?

[Hairyfrog]

Are we getting desparate or what ?

Look at our goals for tally, our league position, Darius's goal count, and the striker options that we have on the bench.

Of course we are f'kin desperate!!!:rolleyes:

He may be on a four day trial, but you can bet he has been watched and spoken to already, Done deal I reckon.

[willmer]

It's christmas would you want to be away from family? 4 days will make it the 23rd and i would hope if we weren't sure he'd be back in the new year for longer. I agree 4 days isn't long though. Looks good on youtube but think there is a few seasons worth of goals.

[wfc4ever]

.

Are we getting desparate or what ?

Well we aren't going to pay over the odd for English strikers it seems....

[Berkohorn]

Four days is plenty of time to get a feel for his ability. We are only talking about a 6 month loan deal with an option to buy at the end - we are not spending the Crown Jewels.

I would say that this is well worth a gamble.

[Sir Chez]

Same deal as we had for King then, loan then option to buy

[Sir Chez]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCV_FORI-jw

:D

After watching them goals i have to say i'm pretty impressed, isn't afraid to have a shot and looks half decent in the air.... only problem though, all those teams he's playing against are probably no better than us.

[krisvad]

only problem though, all those teams he's playing against are probably no better than us.

You're right - the lower half of the portuguese table is CCC strength I feel. But who knows - he may adapt well to our game. He can shoot from distance, head the ball, slot it in from inside the box and the chip in the beginning shows he's got a decent touch and a bit of flair. I'd make the gamble if given the chance. Of course my only evidence is that video compilation which isn't much to go by...

[Big Dave Airey]

The quieter AB keeps this the better. Some good Prem class goals in there.

[Sir Chez]

He also scored against bolton in the uefa cup!

Both footed
Can shoot from distance
Can score a one on one
Can score against a premiership team
Can scoe in the box

Could be worth a punt!

[LittleBigHorn]

I think his form at previous clubs and his goals scored to games played ratio is completely irrelevant. The lad has obviously great talent in abundance, a good touch, silky skills and the abilty to accurately put his boot through the ball and bury it when required! An eye for goal! ! !

His lack of form could be down to a number of reasons, wrong club, wrong manager, confidence etc.... Aidy will sort that out! (like he did with that waster Marlon King who was heading for medicrioty before Aidy got hold of him)

Hope his 4 day trial is a formality... He looks **** hot!

[WatfordÉire]

saying what level he's playing at is bull****. look at kevin doyle. he played in the irish premier division before the premiership which is about league 1 level and he's the leagues top scorer now

[Hornmeister]

AS a loan deal with an option it's a very low risk gamble which could potentially pay divdends.

[Sir Chez]

saying what level he's playing at is bull****. look at kevin doyle. he played in the irish premier division before the premiership which is about league 1 level and he's the leagues top scorer now

So because Doyle managed to play at this level it's completely irrelevant what league Saganowski plays in????? Theres plenty of players to counter argue you're comment about Doyle!

Despite this, i think he has the "midas" touch and could be worth the punt! Can score with his head, scrappy goals, chips, out side of the box. He also has 2 feet and on top of this he has a great first touch by the looks of it!

Nothing to lose but it's all down to if he impresses aidy or not!

[WatfordÉire]

chez I was responding to people saying the league he is currently playing is not as good as the prem and gave example of what kev doyle did;)

[kingjames77]

Well I guess we can only look at Heidar when he first came here... it was a case of Heidar hi.... heidar who???? :)

Still think this is a cunning ploy by Aidy and is a smokescreen for when he unveils none other than Lee Nogan!

[Big Dave Airey]

He can only improve our threadbare squad anyways.

[orn2000]

Sky Sports claim watford arnt intereseted in sagan after his trial. leaves me very anxious. WE NEED SOMEBODY GOOD! These lower leaguers are gonna be jokes i can feel it.

[wfc4ever]

Sky Sports claim watford arnt intereseted in sagan after his trial. leaves me very anxious. WE NEED SOMEBODY GOOD! These lower leaguers are gonna be jokes i can feel it.

hm....interesting because it might be any reason knowing Aidy.

We do need to get a good striker in but not at a silly inflated price like 6 million for Nugent who is unproven at this level.

To be honest the only Premiership based forwards I can see coming is somebody like Rossi on loan.

[orn2000]

I just feel that this is the 3rd known trialist striker to fail to impress aidy. This just strikes me as him being too indecisicive not really knowing what he wants in the transfer market OR hes being espeically specific im undecided. Either way when i say lower leaguers im old fashioned meaning lower than championship. For me these kinda of players are always such a gamble even the step upto the championship is big yet again the premiership. Do not want to end up with sombody aidy doesnt really want but hes forced into.

[krisvad]

I just feel that this is the 3rd known trialist striker to fail to impress aidy. This just strikes me as him being too indecisicive not really knowing what he wants in the transfer market OR hes being espeically specific im undecided.Aidy wants someone better than what we have and someone who can keep usup by scoring numerous goals. Obviously Saganowski et al haven't been able to assure Aidy that they were that player.

I must admit a 4-day trial is very short - could it be that Saganowski returned to play a league match - and that it was the condition for him coming. And that we have not decided yet?

Anyways - I don't want us to waste money on someone Aidy and team are not certain can cut it.

We need to gamble on a few players for sure but we also need someone we know can go straight in and do the job. Only thing is - anyone like that will have many clubs other than us looking, and furthermore they won't be cheap.

[Big Dave Airey]

10 days to go so he needs to make his mind up soon.

[GloryHornet3]

The last thing we want is to spend money and then realise it was a mistake. Id rather aidy was certain about a player.

I would personally go for collins john if we can get the right price.

[krisvad]

Collins John would be a fantastic signing. Loan with option to buy when we stay up?

I am pretty sure HH is staying with Fulham - it seems Coleman has finally seen the light. But John would suit our style of play well, and I could see him and Marlon being a formidable force next season.

[wfchornet2]

10 days to go so he needs to make his mind up soon.

To be honest.. whats to say he hasnt already?
For all we know a deal has been done but it was a part of the deal that it be kept quiet... you know how the club has always played their cards very close to their chests.
