[CONFIRMED] Will Hughes

Yep, we're probably just waiting to make sure he doesn't get broken in half at the U21 Euros before finalizing the deal

 

Thought about trying to coax him back for a game of werewolf when I saw one was happening soon but I don't get back from china till first week of July!

 

Song writes itself IMO.

 

Confirmed on twitter https://twitter.com/WatfordFC/status/878643888495312896

Terrific signing, homegrown with bags of potential, at a decent price, I'm absolutely delighted by this one.

Some more official news. Signed on a 5 year deal.

Ticks a lot of boxes. Affordable, home grown, young, has promise and is eager to step up and make an impression.

A decent addition to the squad.

Looks like Troy has given his seal of approval.

I like this signing always rated Will very clever player what do you guys think??

 

Really good work by the recruitment team. More of this please.

 

Welcome to the Vic Will.

A great piece of business by Gino and Dux.

 

Great signing - young, talented and I'm sure he'll think he has something to prove. Martin Samuel must be choking on his kebab, trying to find a negative spin on this transfer.

Let's hope he's given time to settle in before he's written off by the negative voices amongst us.

 

Very nice indeed. Has the natural ability to become an excellent player.

Now, one of Allan and Lemina as well (or both - we can dream) and with Pereyra back too our midfield is looking very, very good.

 

How he will perform in the prem will be interesting, but I think he has every chance of succeeding. A good signing!

But when are we going to be seriously linked with a goalscorer or two?

 

Happy with this d

 

Good signing, not sure he will make the step up but for that money and his age it's worth the gamble.

We really need a striker or two though, it's absolutely paramount.

 

Very pleased to have this confirmed. Hopefully a good few injury-free seasons to come from a player with a lot of potential.


Welcome to Watford Will.

 

Really good signing - I think he will do really for us with better players around him. well done Luke Dowling too - rarely gets a mention but I believe he leads U.K. deals.

 

Very good signing (especially at that price) who I look forward to seeing in action!

 

Well done Dowling! After how many years at Watford FC, you are finally earning your paycheck.

I do think this is a good signing though. Very un-Watford, perhaps that's why I'm so pleased.

 

Welcome Edgar!

Where's Johnny?

 

Great signing. Happy with this.

Now all we need is a pacey ST, Winger, CDM, CB, RB, LB, GK ... shouldn't be that difficult should it?

 

The wobby seem to think it's an initial £4.5M plus add-ons, which would be daylight robbery if true. No wonder it's "undisclosed".

 

Great signing. We may need to be a bit patient with him. Still a young player.

 

Kevin Philips chatz ****.

 

I'm probably going to boo him relentlessly if he doesn't play like Messi in every single match, but I will go away & think about your suggestion as an alternative

 

Hilariously delusional, idiotic set of fans. Really right up there with the Liverpool's of this world.

 

Good point, well made. I too will consider my hasty position.

 

Christ, Derby fans inventing buy back clauses and all sorts. He's gone. Their best player in a generation and they couldn't fulfill his ambitions despite him giving them about 5 years to get up. No wonder he's scarpered for a proper football club.

 

He did his knee in, pal

 

Honestly believe he is a great signing. If we sign Lemina too Silva will have quite a task deciding on the team in August...
Pereyra, Hughes, Cleverly, Doucoure and Lemina would all be great options and that is forgetting the likes of Capoue and Watson; Behrami won't be here.

 

A message from Will to the Derby fans on Twitter...

"It's been a pleasure to play for Derby and I'm sure I'll see you at some point in the future. Once a Ram..."

"...but now a Hornet!" ....is probably how he should've finished that sentence

 

Young HG and hopefully he will fulfill his earlier promise of being the next Steven Gerrard.

Now lets concentrate on bringing in a Goal Scorer or two!

 

Of all the other forums I have looked at over the years, this one, more than any other, would be the easiest to mistake with our own. Change the names of the players and the nicknames, and you wouldn't know the difference, apart from they have over 160 pages on a single player's transfer, generated in the space of two weeks or so.

They do the puns, they do the word play, they are our country cousins.

They just lack some of the finesse that we have here: like Moog and his "Two Face" coin, and GD with the DVD commentary. Edit: or the pompous ramblings of 424, if I am being entirely balanced.

 

If the reported price is right it's a great deal. Still young enough to develop and improve. Has a point to prove.
Read an interview with him a while back and he said he just wants to play as many games as he can! Seems to have his head screwed on.
Welcome to Watford Will.
A Derby supporting mate of mine said on his day he is brilliant. Sad to see him go but feels it's his time to have a crack at the Prem.
Happy days.

 

How is it in Toms Lane?

 

The mentality of footballers these days is pathetic. No ambition or pride whatsoever.

Imagine leaving a club that won the league a couple of times in the early 70s to move to an established Premier League club.
