Watford after Knockaert

Agree with that. Although I think Stockdale is a key player, we've not seen Maenppa yet, so he might be a good replacement, and we've done okay recently without Bong, although he was great in the first few months of the season. I'm not too worried about Knockaert. He's on a very long term deal so it would have to be a ridiculous offer to sign him and, if March comes back on schedule next year, we're going to have a lot of wingers to keep happy with Knockaert, Murphy, March, LuaLua and Skalak (that's not to say I want Knockaert to go, just that we have more options in his position).

Exactly this - Can't think of anyone significant Boro lost that they wanted to keep..

They'd have probably liked to have had Bamford for another year.

Ah yes if you talk loans he's have been the big one. I'd really like to see our lads stick together at least another year if we don't go up as the team plays some terrific stuff and the squad has a tremendous balance in it...

I think I'll wait until after the Play Offs before getting worried about this, and even then I trust Tony to only sell if the right price is offered.

Absolutely. And, in terms of the original post, I'm sure that Watford (and every other Premier League club) have got loads of players they are watching. It doesn't mean they are going to buy the player, or even put an offer in. I'd be surprised if bottom half clubs aren't watching our players as we are one of the best teams in the Championship.

To be honest, I'm so stressed thinking about what might be this season that I can't even compute the thought of a player exodus in the Summer [puts head back in the sand]
We didn't have this problem last season with COG, Paddy McCourt and Colunga in the team.

I got to 'The Sun' bit and lost interest. I don't remotely believe it as plausible as it sounds.
A wonderful job that would be. Pick a team suited to a players strengths and link him with it. Easy.

Rather wait and see where we are in the summer than start panicking now.

Absolute load of nonsense story.
He's been here THREE MONTHS.

If they weren't good enough for promotion this season, why would next season be any different?

We're fing doomed! We'll be back in league one soon and having to play at Withdean, having 'done a Darlington' and got rid of the Amex. #Kayal and Goldson Must Stay

Belgium <<<<<< England.
Plus there's plenty of evidence to suggest he wasn't happy there.
Not directly relevant, is it.

Would be more concerned about losing our manager

Sounds like a classic agent-driven story to me. 'Take it from me, Watford may be interested if Brighton stay down'. Makes their player look in demand, can't even blame the journalist as it's a decent source and may turn out to be true. It's just very, very far from 100 per cent gospel truth.
Seriously?!
