k me were back there
Yup he was sat on the bench, Conte put Musonda on instead.
I kind of feel for him as I think he was badly advised. I get the feeling Conte didn't really want him so he won't play much, so he'll have no chance of going to the world cup unless he buys tickets and watches from the stands. I understand his agent did very well out of the deal though (reports of a £7m payment!). But then he stiffed us by pulling out of the medical in the summer, so maybe he'll end up trying to resurrect his career at Swansea or Sunderland in a few years time...
In another slightly related note, I see Rodwell's career has taken yet another turn for the worse.

Tell us about Roswell. He was such a prospect. I kind of feel for him as I think he was badly advised.

Your team was certainly to blame for busting my 10 way accumulator yesterday

No, your unwarranted approach was the catalyst for this decision. Turning his head after just 11 games at Watford changed the relationship between Silva and the board. He wanted to move to Everton and made it clear. I look forward to one of the big clubs repeating this trick on Everton, if you ever garner a modicum of success.

What tosh. If he was any good it would not have harmed him one bit. Flash in the pan managerPuggit said:

Moyes and United. He promised he'd sign a new contract and then replaced Fergie with us not getting a bean in compensation.Although I still think we did better out of that deal
It happens many times with players and managers up and down the country sadly. I'm sure Watford have done it to smaller clubs in the past and will no doubt continue to do so.

Sat 24th Feb should be feisty ,
Honestly, I'm not sure how many Watford fans blame Everton directly. There was so much wrong with the Silva/Watford relationship, and some of it started before Everton came calling (the club moved Amrabat on, and Silva had no say). I reckon we still hate Palace more than you - L***n are irrelevant. Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
