Another day, another outgoing link
A new day so Watford must be linked to another of our players it seems, that are doing the rounds with our midfielders to see who they can pick up cheaply.
As a newly promoted club, with a new manager, Quique Sanchez Flores, looking to build a new side to keep them in a new division, the Premier League, quality players are needed. I applaud Burnley for taking the long-term approach last season. They kept spending and wages under control and while they struggled thy didn't put the club in financial risk.
They will have learned well from their season in the Premier League and will now get their parachute payment that presumably puts the club on a sound financial footing. From there they can build, or tweak the side to come straight back up. Too many sides put themselves at financial risk and their parachute payments only go to pay off the players wages until they can get rid of them. If that is the way clubs want to go fair enough, it works for some but the downside is perhaps another relegation from the Championship,
If you look at the bottom of the table Fulham flirted with relegation most of the season and finished 17th, Bolton Wanderers 18th, Reading 19th, Wigan were relegated in 23rd and Blackpool, who seem to have huge troubles, finished last. All of those were not long ago Premier League clubs.
What route have Watford taken? They seem to be happy to splash some cash, having agreed a club record £7 million (US$10.98m - AUS$14.21m - €9.82m) fee with Genoa for 26-year-old winger Diego Perotti, plus of course asking about every player we have it seems. They have offered to double the players wages to £30,000-a-week (US$47,075 - AUS$60,940 - €42,085) which is pretty standard for Premier League wages and for clubs in Italy like Napoli.
The story doing the rounds is that Étienne Capoue has told friends he is close to joining Watford which is certainly good news. There seems to have been a tightening up of information over Tottenham player sales with work done behind the scenes that isn't coming to light until late. To think that clubs aren't making inquiries for our unwanted fringe players is ridiculous, clubs constantly want our squad players, whether they can afford them or their wages is a different matter.
Let's hope the news of Capoue departing soon are spot on this time.
