Almunia in goal is a very good signing. They improved massively when they signed Kuszczak last season, so they've signed the poor man's PIG and snapped up Almunia. Other than that, they've signed a lot of players as a favour to owners/sponsors. Presumably.

Is that Fitz Hall they've signed? If so, that's very wise.

The others are all on season long loans - sounds like low risk youngsters to me.

You want Gus to take on 5 season long loans? Didn't you learn a lesson with Micky Adams mk2?
The signings we've got so far have been excellent and there's still another month left of the transfer window so Gus doesn't have to pull his finger out.

Job lot of reserves from Udinese - suspect that might be as hit and miss as it sounds. The physical nature of the Championship will challenge them and when it's half your team potentially that might lead to some very up and down results

I was messing about, it was a shock to see 7 announced at the same time I would love something like that

Bringing in that number at once is not always wise. Players take time to settle, especially into a new country.
Think of talent like Harley, CMS, Hopkins, all good players but not at their best yet. Try and build a virtually new team, complete with new coaches & manager and their's more than a fair chance it will fail, especially as the fans will have raised expectations.

Are any of them as good as Bruno or Vicente? Or any of our other first 11 for that matter? If not then :thumbsup:

It's quality Gus has delivered this summer not quantity. I don't think our summer shopping is even over yet. In Gus we trust.

The players that have been sent to Watford from Udinese and Granada will not have a problem with the physical side of the championship, They are not kids, Pudil is 25 and has
22 caps for Czech R, Abdi is 25 and 6 caps for the Swiss played 40 games for Udinese in the last two seasons both have played in the champions league, Vydra is 20 had problems with injury last year but Udinese paid 4 mil euro's for him two years ago, Beleck is 19 played for AEK Athens last year and is highly rated, Anya is 24 born in Glasgow played for Cadiz last season the only one that could be a gamble. The director of football has said that there are more to come, rumours are that Tommy Smith and Dj Campbell will also sign

Fair enough. Close to your limit on loan players soon. Campbell will be a good signing - getting the whole shooting match to gel might be an issue but at least you are heading forwards again. Still predict you are likely to have very good games or very bad ones and not much inbetween for that reason and maybe likely to need a very good second half to the season if you are going to challenge. Won't put it past you but think it's less likely. :thumbsup:
