    No doubt he will be an Everton player next week after they struggle for signings.

    I don’t agree. I think he struggled in games against the top 6. Love him here but he isn’t making much difference to the big teams if he moves.

    Looks like they're working on a deal for Badou N'Diaye from stoke.

    Spurs lining up £30m Lewis Cook bid.

    It's what his mates call Keith Andrews.

    Presumably no one calls him Gareth Andrews.

    In a world where Keita, Fabinho, Jorginho, Fred are all going for around £50m then I agree £45m is about right.

    But in a world where Danny Ings is packing his bags and preparing to sign for Palace for £24m, Doucoure is worth £75m.

    Where you end up in between those two extremes depends on things like:

    - how hard the player is pushing for a move vs length of contract,
    - financial position of selling club,
    - financial position of buying club,
    - importance of player to selling club vs what he'd add to buying club (this explains why Palace, who don't win when Zaha isn't in the team won't sell for less than £80m but no buying club would ever see him as worth that much), etc.

    I have a hunch that Ings will do well if he stays fit and wouldn't have been a bad option for us. But I accept I'm in a minority. I will however be back to remind you when he tops the scoring charts at the end of October :)

    You may well be right. I've seen very little of him. Which partly explains my surprise at the size of the fee!

    Graeme Le Saux also had a very high ratio of follicle per skin cm2.

    He's retired now and probably thinning though.

    The only player who took his shirt of repeatedly to celebrate goals but was never booked, as the refs could not tell.

    New contract close?

    https://twitter.com/Ant_Watford/status/1025024938430881792

    http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sp...coure-close-to-agreeing-new-watford-contract/

    Abdoulaye Doucuoure is close to handing Watford a major boost going into the new Premier League season by signing a new contract to remain at Vicarage Road, the Watford Observer understands.

    The French midfielder’s impressive 2017/18 campaign, which saw the 25-year-old crowned Player and Players’ Player of the Season, had fuelled suggestions he would move on this summer, with the player himself claiming clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool were keeping tabs on him.

    But in another statement of Watford’s ambition, we understand Doucoure is close to ending speculation about his future by putting pen to paper on a new deal with the Hornets.

    The former Rennes midfielder has yet to feature in any of the Hornets' pre-season games to date, but Javi Gracia has stressed this is due to injury rather than any other issue.

    Would be very surprised if someone like Gino who drives a hard bargain allowed a general release clause in there. I’d say it’s more likely that there’ll be a clause that Watford agree to negotiate with certain teams and a gentleman’s agreement that he can go for a reasonable price. Basically only teams thar have qualified for the CL or Top 6 can activate it.

    Gino hasn't got a ******* clue.

    Or he has.

    One or the other.

    Just time enough for knickers to dry before the next 'crisis'.

    Best signing of the summer. Not that there’s much competition...;)

    Also kudos to the Watford Observer who were ahead of the curve for once, if only by minutes...

    But don’t forget. If Everton want him...etc etc
