No point in keeping him if he doesn't want to be here. If you actually be bothered to read the piece and it said BEFORE HE RETIRE. No issues about that at all.

He's big and powerful and athletic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 17 hours ago, angieram said: According to Watford's site, this deal is still subject to the medical. Anyone know how his eyesight is? Ha ha. For me the bargain basement price suggests we don't think he's anything comparable to the player he was and could have become. And I presume that's a result of the cruciate injury. And it may well be true. But the unseemly haste to get rid while a lot of clubs will be semi-closed for their brief summer holidays before everything begins to ramp up for pre-season (still about 10 days away for most Premier League clubs) is baffling to me. Surely you get a bigger fee by waiting. Of course the medical can't be done yet as Will's season has't even finished! What about the big clubs across Europe scouting the U21 tournament? Why exclude them from the opportunity? I think Hughes' game is more suited to Spain which could have been a better move for him and with the low pound he'd be much more attractive to teams there. The whole thing is perverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of that, but if people can allege that Hughes was desperate to leave based on nothing at all, then I'm quite happy to quote Johnson out of context to show how stupid that line of thinking is.

Nuwtfly Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The latest Rowett interview is definitely worth a watch if you haven't already. Hughes clearly the driving force behind this deal. As were the FFP implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Considering we've been told by the club on a number of occasions that FFP hasn't been a problem, that interview raises some questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't sound like a fire sale before we get a transfer embargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 "I think it's a difficult one, had we stood in his way...knowing his force on [the move to Watford]." The emerging picture is that Will Hughes wanted Premier League football next season, which is fair enough. I think Rowett has been told he has to raise funds before he can spend them, hence selling him early and not waiting around for other bidders. Presume a lot of this deal with be cash up-front as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 We've been borderline FFP since the transfer splash of 15/16, that's why Hendrick and now Hughes have had to go. It's not an issue in terms of we're going to fail but a sale is probably needed every summer, now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
