Matej Vydra

[BensGrandad]

We all know Vydra was awesome when he played for Watford at the AMEX.

But signing players because they played well in a game against us is something we've done before, hasn't ever worked out, and is hopefully something we no longer do.

It worked when Pearce played left back against us for Barnet some years ago and wasnt Robert Codner and a CB cant remember his name bought under similar circumstances. Also IIRC didnt the club buy the wrong player who had played against us and Mullery said he wanted him from Shrewsbury Jason Peake he actually wanted Gerry Daly. I do agree it is not a good move to follow generally. I would however like to see Vydra and Murray as an alternative to Hemed and Baldock if the price was right as I think that would give us a good attacking option.

Not only have I heard of him, I've even seen him play.

Therefore that's an emphatic NO from me.

are you sure you've never seen him?? he won the player of the season in 2012/13

In fairness and by all accounts he played well for Watford throughout that previous season and he scored a good few goals alongside Deeley. His performances dipped when he went to Reading but there could be any number of resons for that not the least of which could simply be Reading ffs!! I think he would be well worth a punt, he'd provide a bit of Czech support for Jiri and I think Houghton could get the best out of him. That said, I think its unlikely that he will be transferred to a club in the UK if Watford sell - more likely to go back to Granada or Udinese or to be loaned out to a spanish or italian club on the Pozzo's merrygoround

Think you need to read Stat Brother's post again..

Worth a punt?

He was easily Reading's best player when we last played, and I think would score goals for fun at this level in the right team.

Play him up alongside Hemed and that's a excellent strike partnership, and then put Baldock in reserve.

Reading had a clause in their loan to buy him for 10 million if they went up, although Watford don't need him any more, so the price might drop. If we get 10 million for Dunk, I don't see why forking out 7-ish million (...I know) won't be a good investment.

He scored a fair few but was woeful for reading and lazy although he would be better in our 4-4-2 and worth the punt.

Probably in the 4-6m region. Alot of money and wage demands would mean it's impossible to compete even if we do want him.

Well there's a boring surprise. The sooner that club give it up and accept that the Championship is their destiny the better.

Oh the irony

Oh the irony

What's this got to do with palace?

 

[Icy Gull]

I gather we came very close to signing him on loan last season, I wonder if we have given up on him a year on?

I think we can compete with Derby, if we choose to, personally.

How wrong was his agent about us not needing another striker..and nothing has changed in a year.

I would love it - LOVE IT if he is as poor as he was last season.

It would be amazing to see them with yet another expensive striker flop

 

[Pavilionaire]

Vydra is MADE for the Albion, this is a no-brainer deal like the Zamora and Murray deals - just do what it takes to get it done.

Wow ...... with Chris Martin, Johnny Russell, Abdoul Camara, Nick Blackman, Andreas Weiman, Darren Bent, James Wilson and Matej Vydra ... that will be some stricker lineup to keep happy

Derby county = the new Nottingham Forest until FFP kicks in

Their FFP embago should kick in by the January transfer window ?

It's more of a polite tap on the shoulder than a kick, and you aren't obliged to turn around.

FFP is a convenient excuse for our board. Investment in stadium blah blah blah.

It has already been abandoned as the FL cannot fight legal challenges raised by clubs, such as QPR
