I heard he had better connections elsewhere?

Spiers says Brugge have offered £3.4m but we want £5m

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

clubbruggeforum.be are currently on at their version of Moxley telling him to "stop faffing about".

 

[Jeb01]

No doubt I’m wrong but it seems to me that once a player has been at a London EPL club (well, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Spurs) they seem to regard coming to the West Mids as a huge step down.
As we all know, there is plenty of arrogance about in top level football, and I hope we do our shopping outside the London/ North West circuit.
Back to Jorge?

 

[HanDoJin]

It’s a huge advantage. Palace, Watford, Fulham would be fuck all if they were outside of London.

 

[Keef]

Err Watford is outside London, be like saying Wolverhampton is Birmingham

 

[HanDoJin]

It’s a lot closer than Blackburn, Preston, Sheffield and Nottingham

 

[HanDoJin]

And every Londoner I know thinks Wolverhampton and Birmingham are one and the same. Every one.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Watford is only just inside the M25 and is in Hertfordshire. It is as silly as calling it London Luton Airport. Now surely no one would do that…

A lot of Londoners are pretty uneducated then.

 

[Tony Towner]

Watford is inside the M25, a foreign player isn't going to reject them because they are technically in Hertfordshire. Isn't their training ground next to Arsenal's? It undoubtedly is an advantage. When Keagan was at Newcastle and they were the second best team in the country he used to moan all the time that he couldn't sign the next level of player he wanted because they only wanted to live in London or Cheshire

 

[AndyWolves]

You can get to London easily from Watford, I think that's the point

Just had a look. Right next door. Something I didn't know.

It's outside the Greater London Authority's remit, but it's still functionally part of London and inside the London Travel to Work Area.

Wolverhampton and Birmingham are functionally different places and have different TTWAs. Apples and oranges.

Both in London Colney. Just outside St Albans. Nice spot.

 

[WolfMan]

Doesn't really matter if it's in London or not does it, it's close enough that they can easily commute from there.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Anything north of Watford was the North according to London geography lessons.

It really isn’t. Nobody in Watford considers themselves a Londoner.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Doesn't really matter if it's in London or not does it, it's close enough that they can easily commute from there.

18 minutes or so from Watford Junction to Euston. Or you could be a mug and take a much longer tube journey. On that line London really starts at Harrow and Wealdstone.

Also citizens of Watford don’t get a vote in London Mayoral elections.
