Albion 5pm special?
As it’s “strongly unofficially public” I don’t see us delaying things
If he signs today he certainly won’t be playing for Watford again.
Probably too early for an on the pitch unveiling but maybe a causal baseball cap, sunglasses wearing wave from the directors box tomorrow?!
Imagine the stress on the media guys ahead of the managers press conference later, “Roberto we love your honesty but please don’t say anything today”!

Edited it for you.

How soon is now?
Whilst the deal can be done and everything agreed, can a player actually be signed in this manner outside the transfer window? I would have thought that he will be contracted to play for Watford until the end of the season
Yes. Happened loads of time. Transfer just goes through in July

I'm not sure where the idea of him wanting more say in recruitment came from, unless I missed something ?
I'm sure I heard him say that our method of recruitment was new to him, and I mentioned on another thread that RDZ letting his own recruitment specialist go tends to point to the opposite, that he is now showing more confidence in the club's existing methods of identifying/recruiting players

Yes seems odd. I guess they sign something from x of June now. But I want to be sure there’s no chance of a hijacking if this happens now…!
Sky Sports News now reporting a deal agreed in principle. Club record fee.

Owen is on the fence which suggests HE'S IN !!

Just like NSC, from the sublime to the gorblimey:
"Another one who's mostly been completely underwhelming. Not to Sarr's level, but still underwhelming. Has actually also gone beyond just underwhelming into being mostly complete and utter crap for a good while. A year ago I thought I might be sad to see him go, but...bye"
and
"Gutted really.. the only glimmer of hope we had this season. He may have had off day’s, but Jesus Christ, at least he showed a bit of passion and footballing ability. Unlike the rest of em"

I don't like him because he actively unsettled cucurella for Man City.
As for being right most of the time, he said on 3 or 4 occasions that Cucurella had signed for Man City and they were just waiting to announce it.
Largely I find he announces things that are either absolute horse sh*t or have already been officially announced by another source a few hours earlier.

That thread made me feel a bit bad for Watford fans tbh (I've known a few in my life and I'm yet to meet one I didn't like). They all seem so despondent about the state of their club and the people running it. I remember that feeling.

Cucurella was always going to go. Fabrizio was being fed by Cucu's agent, rather than the other way round. Cucu handed in a transfer request, Man City didn't want to pay our asking price, but Chelsea did. I cannot find a tweet where he said Cucurella had signed for Man City.

Talking of Roberto De Zerbi, Romano was right about him talking to Brighton, two days before being announced.
No, he isn't right 100% but then who is?
