Summer 2020 Transfer Window (Extended Version)

[Tony Towner]

I know it doesn't mean we won't sign other positions, but if we are to only sign 2/3 first team players as most expect, I wouldn't want defensive midfield to be one of them. There's at least 4 positions I'd prioritise over it.

RWB/LWB/CH/ST?

HTTP/HTML/C++?

Attacking midfielder as well.

I think that's the problem but clearing the history tends to fix it.

Could it be we are signing an out and out DM to push Neves further up the field?

 

[Deano]

I don't think it's Neves game to be a proper attack minded midfielder really. His passing and shooting is obviously top drawer but he is very slow, think it would be better if we had someone more mobile to play next to Neves and Moutinho when we play 3-5-2.

 

[BGreenWolf]

Palhinha looked pretty mobile when we played Braga, to be fair.

Judging from the details in that article, I could see him fitting quite nicely- covering a lot of potential positions for us.

Didn't really do that when he had Saiss alongside him in the Championship. He had something like one touch in the box all season

 

[BGreenWolf]

TalkShite reckon we're after Doucoure.

 

[Dinowolf]

TalkShite reckon we're after Doucoure.

Personally, I hope this is true. Think he would fit in well with us and offer us a quality option.

 

[Tony Towner]

His attitude last season was a disgrace. I wouldn't want anyone with that character. TS are just reporting a rumours site

 

[Deano]

There's no way we will sign Paulhinha and Doucoure

 

[jd1981]

The whole of Watford midfield last season was a shambles Capoue and Hughes were far worse from what I saw

 

[Tony Towner]

Sky saying via the Mail that we are in for Maitland-Niles. He fits our age and versatility profile

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Doesn't fit our "can play football" profile sadly.

I'd say he has remarkable consistency in that he plays a lot of positions and looks equally rubbish in all of them.

 

[Tony Towner]

I kind of agree and certainly wouldn't pay the £20m they are after, but there are glimpses there to work with

 

[Lycan]

In the 3-1 Arsenal home game last season he got absolutely rinsed by Jonny & Jota. This season he did a little better Vs Traoré but Adama was having one of his off days.

Backs himself as a centre midfielder. I think he is OK but I wouldn't be targetting him as a priority

Not having Maitland-Niles at all, never been impressed in any position that i've seen him. Rob Dorsett has also tweeted about this and also that we're interested in Ocampos but only if Traore leaves, guess we're not interested then.
