    Watford have opened talks with Tottenham for Moussa Sissoko, the agreement is ‘possible’ - work in progress for the outgoings on Spurs side. ⚪️ #THFC #WatfordFC

    Serge Aurier will be an option for Lille onli if Celik leaves. Still looking for a solution for Tanguy Ndombele.

    The above is courtesy of our favourite journalist Fabrizio Romano.

    An absolute monster, Spurs fans don't like him because he can't pass a ball but us gurning simpletons will love him.

    We’ll have a team of midfielders at this rate !

    Did well at Newcastle but seemed a bit hit and miss at Spurs.

    Mind you Spurs are generally !

    Cannot image he is that cheap wages wise .

    That would be a fantastic signing. Apparently this is at an advanced stage. Reminds me of when we signed Capoue from them. I think he'd have the same impact for us.

    I agree. Even though he's 32 I'd be really happy with this. I've no idea why many Spuds fans seem to hate him.

    Fair play if we pull this one off. We saw how easily Brighton, and Bissouma in particular had the beating of our midfield, but a dynamic destroyer like Sissoko would go some way to addressing the ponderous nature of our midfield - Kucka and Etebo aside.

    They hated Capoue and Gomes too, so that's nothing to worry about.....in fact, it's a good sign.

    32 now is he?

    Definitely one for the youth side while the older pros like Kucka hold the first team spots.

    My mate just messaged me, '32, can only run in a straight line, has a worse touch than you or I.'

    Good luck.

    My mate said "He's ok, good engine" and then "His shooting is terrible but he'll run all day"

    I replied "So an older version of Doucoure"

    He replied "Yeah, very similar players"

    Apparently, deal virtually done.

    Sissoko and Capoue were the Toulouse midfield for 6 years

    My mate said “He’s name is a monster score in scrabble” Become a fan favourite and the shop gets another use for the K’s in case Kiko leaves.

    Would prefer someone like Herrera and use money from the Hughes deal to reinforce at the back. Not so sure about having Sissoko here.

    Did Capoue carry Sissoko like he carried Doucouré?

    Sissoko was actually rated to be one of the best midfielders in the world when at Toulouse.

    Granted, he isn't...but he does have a World Cup winners medal. Not many Watford players have one of those!

    I'm wrong. He was dropped from the initial squad and does NOT have a WC medal... Whoops

    No, but we’ll have 17 AFCON winners soon enough
