    I don't understand the desire to have him back. Sure, a good player. But the last thing we need to focus on right now is a forward. Though would be very Pozzo to bring in some 19 year old South American winger as the January move.

    You don't understand the desire to have a player who is probably the most talented player we have had in the modern era? No one is saying bring back Delofeou and don't sign any defenders.

    Are you trying to tell me you wouldn't want a player who can single handedly win matches on his own?

    I'd still like a forward (behind a CB and a LB of course), but I do wonder if Deulofeu would still be able to hack English football, I think Serie A is probably the ideal place for him post-injury

    Has he noticeably declined then? If anything his injury record would be the only factor which makes him coming back realistic!

    Very talented player. If Sarr’s out long-term (guessing he will be) then we need a little extra spark in attack.

    But obviously a CB and LB are more important. Probably a GK and CM too.

    Not true - neither Cucho or JP have done much when starters, and we've got some key games during the Afcon when we could definitely do with someone else to fill in for Sarr and possibly Dennis.

    Could Udinese just lend him to us for a few games during the Afcon, then recall him at the end of Jan?

    Doesn't he absolutely despise his country though? I thought he left because he wanted to raise his child somewhere better.

    I don't believe so, no, loans have to begin and end during a transfer window

    Tbf we've already got plenty of those. Troost-Ekong, Rose and Bachmann have already won matches for teams this season.

    I would like to bring him back AFTER we go down, as the things Deulofeu would do to Champo defences boggle the mind.

    I'm sure he'd be up for that as well.

    True. The weather is better in the Championship and you are famously less likely to be kicked up in the air.

    Send him home. Udinese have 20 points, they’re virtually safe.

    Udinese and their 8 fans don’t appreciate his celebration like we did.

    The answer is obvious.


    Just bring him back and play him at LB.

    Was channel hopping last evening and happened to flick onto Udinese’s game against Lazio. Needless to say, within seconds of turning it on Geri scored.

    There was no great joy in his celebration. His eyes spoke of a desire to come home to Watford and fight for them. Everyone in the stadium could see it and some of his team mates even made comments like ‘go and help them Geri’ and ‘we know your heart is there’. Even the Lazio players nodded in the encouragement.

    Watch this space.

    Geri in the championship will be a sight to behold.

    Nah, he just did his usual ‘man running into the chip shop one minute before closing’ celebration.

    If he’s happy, he’s doing that.

    Can't wait for Udinese to make a massive profit on him after getting him for below market value.

    Yup, I've got a joint account as well. If you think the spend from that is equally proportioned you're smoking something.

    I'm Watford in this analogy

    Not sure they’ve even paid us for him yet. We borrowed against what they owed us.

    Strange behaviour when it’s ‘all one pot/bank account’.
