Nosworthy joins on a permanent deal

[nascot]

Well he has certainly surprised me with his form since he joined, after watching him twice for Shef Utd, I thought he would be dire but congratulations to the management team and Nyron

I hope we will be shipping out Mirfin now.

Thompson and Bennet must be considering their futures though with him being on such a long contract, unless Nascot is right though.

His days are well and truely numbered now.

As for the other two they still (just) have age on their side. Tiny won't be around for ever.

When Nyron arrived back in Sunderland the first thing he did was contact Martin O'Neill and arranged a meeting, which took place early this morning. Nyron then explained how he felt Watford was home to him, he's enjoyed every second and wanted to stay down south. Martin O'Neill granted him premission to leave Sunderland after contacting a few importants heads. Nyron's agent then contacted Watford and a deal was made that satisfied both Nyron's Agent and Watford.

Is that true Ron?

Good news!

FANTASTIC NEWS

SUPER NYRON IS OURS

[TheDon]

Love this! Hope everyone joins in on Saturday!

This video was also filmed at the Kennel!
They tried to get the ball past Nyron...

[sonofben]

That will do

This is a quite incredible signing, considering it all fits into Watford's pay structure. I think a lot of credit has also got to go to Nosworthy himself who clearly has made this move a reality. I thought players with an attitude like him were exinct a long time ago. He just wants to play football and loves it at Watford. This is a massive boost for the club and everyone connected. Superb piece of business Dychey and this is a massive coup for the club. Let's hope one or two more will now follow.

Brilliant signing, he wants to wear the shirt, can seemingly add that little bit of steel we've lacked, provides competition... he'll get an amazing reception on Saturday!!

Have to agree with this, well said. All we need now is a striker and a left winger.

Great news, welcome Nyron. But we must keep Aidy as the two have formed a great partnership

Yes, that's exactly how I see it also. I know Watford are trying to get Tommy Smith, either on loan or permanent but it is now all up in the air because of the change of management. Don't forget McGinn will be back soon and will seem like a new signing if he manages to get his pre-injury form. We need to offload a couple like Iwelumo and Mirfin. Walker is on his way to S****horpe which will free up some money. I hope we don't sell any of our "premium" players or else it will be a case of one step forward and two steps back. If we hang on to Sordell & Mapps and bring in Smithy, then the second half of the season should see us sail away from the drop zone and may even flirt with the playoffs.

Completely forgot about McGinn, he appears to be coping well with his rehabilitation and hopefully he will regain his form. I would like to see Cotterill possibly sign as well as Smudge. I swear I remember someone from the club saying that we don't have to sell in January, so hopefully the club stick to their guns. It is a shame Walker never settled in but thats the way it is sometimes. Iwelumo and Mirfin days appear to be numbered as you have indicated. I would like to see some of the youngsters get some game time soon but I am not too sure on Dyche's philosophy with the youth.

[Hornmeister]

He (Dyche) said: "I think it's important we recognise the part played by both Steve Bruce and Martin O'Neill; first Steve in allowing Nyron to join us on loan and then for Martin to allow the deal to go through.

Translates as when Bruce gets a new club, we still want to do business with him and if O'Neill wants to send any young starlets our way we will be only too happy to accomodate them.

Terrific news though, welcome back Nyron, I'm very, very pleased indeed with this news.

Maybe I'm reading between the lines but does it also say that a deal was struck in principle in advance of January and O'Neil was happy to let it continue.

I read it as 'please like us, Martin'.

[krisvad]

Ideally I'd like to see three players competing for two starting positions with another developing youngster as number 4.

Wise wise words. In the past we've have two senior players and two to three youngsters as back-up.

But don't forget that for the central defense berth we also have Mirfin which means we have four senior players vying for two CD berths. This also means no youngster will be able to compete for that berth.

I like what Nosworthy brings in terms of his recent contribution but I honestly think we're getting a bit overloaded for the two central defender berths.

Maybe this is in advance of someone saying bye bye.

That's my worry - that Mariappa will be sold. I don't think we'll do too well with Tiny and Nyron in defense. Mariappa has some pace and attributes complimentary to Tiny/Nyron.

[DrewH]

I don't think Mariappa will be sold. If anything I can see Mirfin leaving on loan (S****horpe could be interested in bringing him back). Tiny's contract runs out in the summer so perhaps we may let him go now if he doesn't want to sign a new one or isn't being offered a new one.

I totally agree with Nascot.

The last time we had any success, promotion with Aidy, we had 4 good center backs, Malky, Carlisle, DeMerit and ****tu. It's not a position where you can have a weakness.

Thompson, Bennett and Hoban are all coming through and will all feature this year. Marriappa made his first start back in 2005 but you would only have put him as a regular last season.

It also means that our center backs have over 1000 games league experience between them, which is probably the most experienced group in the league. With young players around them, Hodson, Hogg, and Loach this can only be a good thing
