    Good thread. To summarise, It's little old Watford without seeing the potential.

    Translated article:

    Find confirmed the news exclusively launched by Sportitalia - and not reported by the British tabloids - that Gianfranco Zola is in discussions with Watford. Also confirmed that the lawyer Fulvio Marrucco is in London to try to work out the details. Zola, remember, has received a proposal of four years of English society.

    So 'apparently' the lawyers are here thrashing out the details..

    This is the best and weirdest time to be a Watford fan I can remember. I am not sure I am not on some hallucinatory drugs and will awaken in a cold sterile room of a country asylum

    Yes, that made me laugh, but he almost sounds like a grown up in this interview. Maybe dealing with professionals has rubbed off on him.

    This is an odd one..

    Watford, UFFICIALE: Ecco Kuszczak dallo United
    21 giugno alle 14:20
    Tomasz Kuszczak lascia il Manchester United per andare a giocare in Championship. Il portiere polacco è un nuovo giocatore del Watford.

    Translated, it says..

    Watford, OFFICIAL: Here Kuszczak from the United
    June 21 at 14:20
    Tomasz Kuszczak left Manchester United to go play in the Championship. The Polish goalkeeper is a new player of Watford.

    While from www.tuttomercatoweb.com they reported at 5:06pm this afternoon..

    As learned from TMW, the Pozzo family would be a step away from the acquisition of Watford. The company is performing the test funds for economic checks, at this point appears to be only a matter of hours. Ginaluca Nani is going to become the sports director of Watford, less than sensational twists is ready to resume its activities stopped a few months ago. By evening, new developments are expected.

    Translated:

    The Pozzo family has come closer to the acquisition of Watford. The British company is now close to new ownership, a new project after Udinese and Granada. E 'confirmed the name of Zola as a temptation for the bench, Gianluca Nani for executives (already ex-West Ham, England) and also an idea to the market. He is the young midfielder Cristian Battocchio class '92, who would arrive on Udinese. The new Watford already taking shape ...


    We know that Zola and Nani aren't involved as we previously thought, but this is the first mention of a player I believe...

    I think there was feeling that Zola is likely in DoF role. Not sure about Nani. I meant in the positions we previously thought.

    I like your thinking outside the box, but it sounds slightly gay. I don't want a randy Caskey come sailing back to wfcforums because of this.

    I hear that it will be confirmed today, the role that they are talking about for Zola is almost managing the 100 plus players across the 3 teams balancing the development players needs & the respective clubs needs. I understand that the model is some activities that are similar across the 3 clubs may well be centralised, I guess players recruitment might be one of them ?
