Super_horns Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Say what you want about Watford and their recruitment, theyll still struggle to make the cut Sounds like our new players could be good or very good but they will need to settle in quickly - certainly not lacking the ambition to spend money but will it work!?
Wymsey Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 May as well call WBA an old people's home for the nearly retired players. Fletcher, Lescott, Olsson, Myhill, McAuley.
lgfualol Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 "Watford has reached an agreement with AZ for the transfer of winger Steven Berghuis" Must be nice being a Watford fan and getting someone new everyday. They seem to be buying anyone though.

CosbehFox Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 I'm pretty sure our scouting network is the most overrated piece of our over inflated opinions on the current state of the club. Looking at other clubs signings this summer and even (Watford) it's clear our player recruiting policy is utter dogs piss. Helps when you have another club to do all the scouting for you.
Captain... Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 They should ask Palace how that went with Holloway in charge.
Carl the Llama Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Watford already looking favourites for a disjointed season ultimately ending in relegation, whereas Villa have been shorn of their key players and it remains to be seen if tactics Tim will be able to replace them adequately enough to improve on a dismal 17th place. That's two teams already looking like relegation certs. To outsiders we probably fit the bill for that 3rd spot before a ball's been kicked what with Nigel & Cambiasso out the door; realistically though I'd be surprised if we don't finish above at least one of B'mouth, S'land, Norwich, and West Brom. Still plenty of time for signings to change that outlook, but this is where I stand at the time of writing.

Looking at other clubs signings this summer and even (Watford) it's clear our player recruiting policy is utter dogs piss. Scouting and recruiting are completely different things. Just because Watford have signed a billion players doesn't mean their scouting is better than ours. And signing numerous players isn't proof you're better at recruiting anyway, and it's not always the best policy. Look at QPR last year, signing any player they could. Or Palace when they first came up, Holloway signed about 15 players and only used a couple of them and it took Pulis and some wheeling and dealing in the January to sort it. Basically you're talking out your arse.

MC Prussian Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 if bournemouth stay up ill eat my own legs. I think you may want to consider buying a wheelchair already then.
purpleronnie Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 I think you may want to consider buying a wheelchair already then. The wheels would be nicked within a week.
Stuntman_Mike Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Our scouting system is probably best in the world IMO
Leicesterpool Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Well this is a good start for Billic potential going out of the europa league to a malta village idiot team.
JPM1983 Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Well this is a good start for Billic potential going out of the europa league to a malta village idiot team. They got rid of Allardyce for this? Perhaps this is the 'West Ham way'.
lgfualol Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Hope West Ham go through, can see them struggling with Europe + Prem next season
Tuna Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 West Ham are fooking it up. Gone to penos against Maltese part timers!
Carl the Llama Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Hammers off the hook for now then. Serious questions nonetheless...
