The step up has proved beyond him, I wouldn't be surprised if Watford wanted to send him back in lieu of further installments, maybe with a contribution to his wages?? You can analyse an individual match but the ones I have seen, he has been one of the better players. Ask Watford fans if you don't believe me. He is a premier league player.

Pearson and his Assisant have both singled him out for praise in recent weeks so must be doing pretty well however, I can’t imagine watching the ball sail over his head towards Deeney and jogging around defending in banks of four was what he had in mind when he went to the big time....

Ghost of Clough Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Moussa Sylla. Just 20 years old and a free agent after being released from Monaco. Can play anywhere across the front 3 and is the quick, agile sort of player we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a suggestion thread, not a scouting thread ? Benrahma had only scored 4 in 27 Ligue 1 games before Brentford signed him. Not too dissimilar to Sylla, but a little bit older and with more experience at lower levels. It’s remarkable we recruited Abdoul Camara after watching Angers, and missed out on Benrahma, Saiss and Nicholas Pépé who were all at Angers at the time.

RamNut Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If we want a right back to compete with bogle, or so that we can play wisdom at centre back.....Then I’d go for this lady but he would command a fee. p.s. anyone else notice how pished off Chris Martin looked when he scored?

jake0603 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Definitely think Hughes is of the ability for Southampton, Brighton, palace, Newcastle, Burnley, Everton. In this market, he’s be worth £15m at least, I remember hearing we had a big sell on clause in the deal. Could net us about £3m which would be very useful to put towards a winger, goalkeeper and striker without the need to sell too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 12 hours ago, Mostyn6 said: Who would buy him? He’s been very ineffective and has fallen behind so many others in the PL, I’d imagine clubs will think they could find as good abroad for half the price. Where have you heard that? My understanding was that the Watford fans loved him. I think when a team is as bad defensively as they are due to lack of investment in those areas an attacking player can still come out of the season looking alright. I doubt anyone will bid for him, because he’s not an eye catcher(speaks volumes that fans at both his clubs loved watching him though), but he’s certainly better than this level.

Abu Dhabi Ram Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Will Hughes was bypassed in a poor Watford team. To shine he needs to be in a possession based team at the furthest forward point of the midfield three. Such a waste, I’d definitely have him back here, but I’d say he will go to another mid table Prem team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I would score at least 10 goals over a season in that team and I am 54 ( especially if they let me take some of their penalties) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Hughes playing the furthest forward is that he offers extremely little goal threat. Ideally, if you're playing 4-2-3-1 then the number 10 position will chip in and be at least within your top 3 scorers. I think in his absolute best season with ourselves he had 5 goals, 6 assists in 48 appearances. He's an aesthetically pleasing footballer to watch, but definitely lacks substance - especially in an attacking sense. He's at his best keeping things ticking over in a deeper role and he's a pretty combative midfielder when he's in the right mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
