    If the marketing teams don't release special Cor-Netos then then all need sacking.

    Yes, you can and I'm pleased to finish it off.

    Just one Horn Neto
    Between the sticks
    Brazilian keeper, from Italy.
    Clean sheets, just like a dream,
    Norberto Neto! Watford FC!

    Sky Italia have confirmed that Neto and his agent are meeting with AC Milan tomorrow after Donnarumma's shock announcement.
    TuttoUdinese have also said Karnezis is our backup if Neto does sign for Milan (or anyone else).

    What's the difference in quality between Neto and Karnezis?

    If we don't get Neto which seems likely now, there's no point in signing Karnezis. Signing him doesn't solve our long term GK problem. Karnezis is 31 which I know is nothing for a GK but it just feels like signing him would be like buying a secondhand Honda car. Yeah it's reliable most of the time, doesn't really breakdown, but doesn't offer much hope for the future. It will run its course before eventually being scrapped. Personally I think we already have that in Gomes. We need to sign a newer more updated make and model that will last a long time, develop into a vintage model before being sold for millions. If we don't get Neto then I hope we go for Scuffet or Meret and force Udineses hand, especially if we're signing players and then giving them away to them "on loan."

    When I saw the YouTube of Karnezis I was very impressed with his positioning, handling as well as his saves. I think at 31 goalkeepers should be in their prime. karnezis even likes to catch the ball, not like Heaton the other night palming it into the danger area, not once but twice with the obvious result of two French goals. I agree that any of the Udinese goalkeepers would be great and the young guys would learn so much from the legend that is Gomes. Hopefully Gino can do some horsetrading with his dad. Surely Udine can give up one of those guys to become a 1/or 2 for an EPL side? COYHS!

    Karnezis is a great keeper and would be perfect for a couple of years. There's no difference between signing him or signing a younger keeper who does well for us for a year or two and then gets bought by a bigger club. Except getting a transfer fee obviously.

    You d hope to get 3 to 4 of the best years out of a 31 year old keeper .

    I feel for Gomes though as he's been brilliant for us . Hope he stays at the club , coaching role, ambassador etc etc

    Sounds like AC Milan are trying to get Reina or Leno. I guess talks with Neto's reps didn't go well.

    Sky Italia said talks went well with Neto & his reps but Juve and AC can't agree on a price, there's about €5 mill difference between the two clubs.
    Perin is now AC's first choice so looks like Norberto is avaliable again.

    I would expect nothing less than a raid on AC Milan for Donna Kebab, give them the 20 million or so and bring this boy to the vic. Its about time we started acting like a top 4 club.

    Valencia and Napoli seem to be the names mentioned for Neto now. I'd expect Karnezis to rock up in the next week.

    31 is fine for a keeper - How old was Gomes when we signed him after all?

    F*ck Neto, we're better off bringing over Meret from Udinese permanently in exchange for Behrami, Dje Dje and maybe Lemina too on short loan (if we do actually get him). It would benefit all parties; Meret who would get some prem experience, Watford who will get a potentially great understudy to Gomes and Udinese who may possibly receive a number of arguably decent outfield players.

    Also, I think Gomes would be a great coach for Meret as I can see Heurelho as the type of player to spend time training individually with the youth keepers as well having the sort of personality that would like to see the manager starting the u21s from time to time

    Can't agree more. Gomes would be a great teacher for either of the two younger Udinese guys. Also I would not rule out Karnezis either. Not as young but seems very sound and confident in his handling. Clearly Gomes wants to slow down with more coaching and controlled rotation at No.1. Makes more sense to me to get someone in you already know and can support. The Pickford sale shows that keepers are now commanding serious money... That is if you can find the right one. You know it makes sense Gino. COYHS!

    As we know, Gino doesn't do bidding wars. If the rumours are true and Neto is being whored around by his agent to every Tom **** and Harry then our interest in him will no longer exist.

    Again if true, we were close to signing him according to reports but it appears his agent wants to hear every club out to increase his pay cut. He obviously looks at us an option but not really the option he wants. If we were he would have signed already.

    Karnezis is definitely a solid option, I was hoping for a younger/more potential GK but Karnezis can fill that void for 3-4 seasons. As has already been said we only want players that actually want to be here.

    I gather the main issue for him was the level of abuse he would get from this forum. That's despite Gino telling him not to worry as there's "just one TVOR Neto".

    Do Behrami, Dje Dje and Lemina get any say in this? I'm not knocking the idea of going after Meret but it'd be for cold hard £££, not some sort of Championship Manager fantasy swap deal.

    Well considering it is rumoured that Behrami wants to leave anyways I can't see why he wouldnt want to go back to Italy. Dje Dje likewise sat through the whole of last season in his comfy house, only being picked for the Millwall and Burton games. It would be a no brainer for him to join a club where he can get gametime whether it's a permanent move or not.

    Lemina on the other hand is a difficult one. If we buy him for the reported £20,000,000 then i'd like to see him a Watford without a doubt. As you say though it would be difficult persuading all parties to agree to a particular deal but as we know, since the Pozzo's do own both clubs, it will be primarily persuading the players rather than clubs.

    Behrami has said quite clearly he wants to finish his career in Switzerland. Hence him lining up the move to Sion.

    Dje Dje I can obviously see moving on but whether Udinese need/want him and whether he wants to go to Italy is a different matter.

    But the Lemina idea is a special kind of bonkers.

    Napoli fans are pretty c0nvinced they all but have Meret already, and think Reina leaving is part of the plan to incorporate him.

    And yeah, the Lemina idea is mental.

    Buy Lemina for 20m and then loan him out? Jesus, thats more than a difficult one. If we sign Lemina, he'll be in the starting XI, nowhere else.

    I really think if we are aiming to buy a young keeper, we should be looking at Lafont from Toulouse. Or Areola (insert joke here) from PSG as an outside bet....

    I worded the Lemina part wrong. What I was meant to say is if we actually pay £20,000,000 then loanig him out would be a mistake

    Daniel Bentley from Brentford, 23 years old and played nearly 200 league games... Could easily get him for £3-4mill

    For the Gilmartin role? He'll need to send the scouts a tape of himself summarising a football match first.

    According to Di Marzio there was a meeting yesterday between the club and his agent. Sounds like it's between us and Valencia. Di Marzio is suggesting that we are offering €10mil outright for him, while Valencia want a loan with option to buy at the end of the season. Juventus apparently more interested in our deal.
