Watford borrow again

[James Bond's body double]

What do you guys think??

Is it okay to borrow. borrow and then borrow again. If it takes them up is this okay would you be happy with us doing the same.

This type of loan isn't the issue, it's the international ones that seem unfair.

Having said that, Watford haven't broken the rules, it's the rules themselves that are broken.

I'm all for doping the Watford players but is this the right place to discuss it?

About sums it up, it's the fact international loans are treated as transfers.

Edited thank you!!

I think the problem will occur next season as the loan players are returned to their parent clubs (Udinese etc.) So Watford will then have an alarming shortfall of players - not good if they get promoted, and, if they stay in the Championship the Football League will, I believe, have outlawed foreign loan deals. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

They were the best side to visit the Amex yet were piss poor at Vicarage Road.

How this adds to the debate I don't know, but it is my opinion.

I don't have a problem with Wudinese borrowing from Fulham (After all we have borrowed from Man City). It is however, fundamentally wrong that so many players and be taken from Italy.

Not Wudinese's fault. The rules need changing.

 

[TheBigUnit]

We've played them twice already, that's what I'm thinking...!

They were still getting all their new players to Gel, earlier on in the season.

Simple, we played them early in the season so their players hadnt gelled yet, but when we played them at the Amex in December, they had and smashed us and are now playing very well.

And Watford arent breaking any rules, they are allowed to do what they are doing because the Football League rules are pathetic. Trouble is when they eventually do get tightened, Watford will cry murder and say its unfair. Though they would find a way around it, probably.

Oh and its a loan from Fulham, in my eyes thats fine - though if i was a Watford fan, id be concerned after the end of the season especially if they went up - as they would have barely any players.

I thought most on the Udinese players were on loan with a view to Watford offering them permanent contracts at the end of the season?

They'll stop clubs being able to loan infinite players from abroad but it will make no difference. They'll just be free transfers instead. Some people need to get their head around the owners own both clubs. They can move players between them as they wish.

They seem to smash everyone away from home.every time I look when they play away they seem to win.

They've bought one of them, Forestier, but the others can still move freely between the three clubs as they're all owned by the same people. I'm not sure how the League can clamp down on it.

I don't like it

Wont happen as the owners will transfer the players officially. They have already said if Watford make the EPL it will become their priority.

Even if they do get relegated after 1 season they will do so with a load of money from the parachute payments.

The FL are looking to change the rule soon so next year may not be a problem and I don't think you would be able to do it in the Premier league currently anyway. As for signing them permanently, there is nothing to stop them but Watford will be duty bound to pay all their wages and with FFP on the horizon the accounts of each club will have to be seen to be totally separate.

Watford have utilised a system without breaking the rules but probably totally against the spirit.
