Thanks for supplying the thread Highland I'm going to forget about football now

Probably have to beat Brighton to have a chance of staying up. But after that performance and with so many injured or suspended, it is difficult to see us raising our game.

Who would you want to keep? None of this lot seem good enough

I'd first get Ayling, Dallas and James out the door. They're a disgrace and if we go down, the finger of blame points at them.

come on watford!!!

We got exactly what our investment in the summer and zero January deserved - nothing.

Cheers High, Lads and Lasses.

£25 Million for James - you could not make it up.

Dallas ?? for getting injured

Orta needs to pay back that 25 mill he spent on James.

25 mill for James, but refused to pony up 30 for White.

Laughable.

Ayling and Dallas have been great assets over the years. Seems like the pressure got too much and they went in for wild challenges but it's ridiculous to slag them off like that

Brighton were asking 50 million, which is what Arsenal coughed up in the end?

when i think of ortas disasters i always think JKA first but others always forget him

They were actually asking 35-40 mill initially when we had a crack at him. But we bailed.

You watch LDL, we'll get relegated (obviously) and Raph's fee will drop to 25 mill. Then we'll find out we
have to pay RB 25 mill in the JKA settlement.

Thought they refused to sell White to us

Reports at the time said Brighton wanted 30-35.

A year later after a season in the prem he went for 50.

Money talks High. Unless it's in Radz pocket then it's silent.

Nothing we didn't expect and maybe now James is suspended the team will have more balance, well let's hope so and JM doesn't play 2 goal keepers or something equally eccentric...
Gelhardt must now surely grasp his opportunity up top on Sunday for what is last chance saloon time.

probably play greenwood now lol

High, when we won promotion, Brighton wanted 35-40 mill. I bet 35 would've got us White. We didn't go for it.
White stays at Brighton. Then the following season he
goes for 50 to Arsenal. Even if we'd bought him first
season and then sold to Arsenal we would've made a
15 mill profit. But our club thinks small.

Insult to injury: club invested 31 mill in Llorente & Koch instead. Absolutely sh. 1 TE decision all round.

Thing is we have spent money but on the wrong signings we didn't need James. Rodrigo and Firpo big money but clueless. We've spent money on rubbish what we don't need.

Can't help thinking we should have gone for Corberan. Can't see Marsch doing anything in the championship either.
