TheEnchanter Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Pretty random for them to just state he's coming to us unless they knew some info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely have sources inside the club - i think they get used as a conduit to leak info. They were the first to report Flores was getting he boot way before it was common knowledge Normally pretty reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 This now seems to be the worst kept secret out there. Would be an insanely good signing. Get the feeling however we need a couple out of the door to balance things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohgoditsjames Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Let's hope we shift out some of the players who blatantly have no chance in making the team ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Scram, I'm quite sure that Abdi will be one of Championship's best players next year, but how well do you think he will fit into CC's style of football ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely well He's a fantastic player - i always regarded him as the best player outside the premier and i still stand by that He more than acquitted himself out of position in the premier Like i said with FF - i think Watford are mistaken if they let him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute steal. Shocking business from Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 McGugan out Helan out Vermijl out Abdi in For me that would be a massive improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I literally don't know how we're going to balance our attacking options Hooper Fletcher Forestieri Abdi Matias Only one is really competent playing wide... can you play all four in the same team at the same time? With our narrow fluid 4-4-2 it makes sense that perhaps we see Abdi-------------Lee--------------Bannan---------------Forestieri ----------------------Hooper-------Fletcher-------------------- But FF has been so good in pre-season playing central as more of a striker, so he could replace Hooper or Fletcher and Matias or Wallace go wide... but then you lose Fletcher or Hooper ffs! So 4-2-3-1 of Matias----------Abdi----------Forestieri -----------------Fletcher------------------- But again, no Hooper Or we could see a return to Carlos' 4-3-3, at which point some weird 4-3-3 system like --------------Lee--------------Bannan--------- -----------------------Abdi----------------------- -----Hooper-------Fletcher-------Forestieri--- But again, no Matias who has been superb in pre-season This is one of the most talented and complicated jigsaw puzzles going... how do all the above fit? The attacking talent in this team is startling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If we could get him for another bargain £3 million that would be bargain of the century. Chansiri would be knighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
