Seem to recall he signed an initial two-year agreement with the option of a third-year, the fee paid was two million. What a bargain. I guess it will also depend on what division we are in next season.
I think Spurs might be setting their sights for someone a bit younger if they want a back up for Lloris ... Not sue Foster would go to be 3rd choice tbh at this stage in his career.
If we stay up I don't think he would go to Spurs to be 2nd choice even. He seems very happy at WFC, maybe would want to leave if we are relegated.
I guess it's simply down to how much we can offer depending on what league we are in.. Probably why we signed Bachman up just in case Foster doesn't stay.
He has said he does not want to go to Tottenham, basically denying the rumour has anything to do with him. Surely he will stay...
I see that one of our multitude of players out on loan has taken an unusual step - Mamadou Mbaye has apparently transferred himself to Cadiz. He was transferred to us from there in 2018, never played - and then decided to go back there this season, telling Cadiz that his Watford contract had been cancelled. Unfortunately for him, it hadn't. After failing to negotiate a compensation package for him, the club complained to FIFA - who slapped a transfer embargo on Cadiz and told Mbaye to pay Watford nearly £27k in compensation. Funny old world...
Everton face more pressure in their pursuit of Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla with Watford having now entered the race, according to Corriere di Verona, as translated by Sport Witness. The Toffees were linked with the Albanian international last month, when Corriere dello Sport reported that both Everton and Chelsea had pushed ahead to ‘inform themselves’ on the player’s situation. Now the report claims that Watford have joined the race to sign the 20-year-old, who has also caught the interest of Manchester City and Liverpool, while RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Napoli and Inter Milan are also keen.
I doubt there will be many transfer until there is a plan for next season. If we drag this one on then the transfer window will have to wait.
I do think, however, that there will have to be some sort of contingency plans for clubs if they lose players to the virus.
Didn't the team go to matches in Albanian Coaches at one time? Albanians have long memories so that may count in our favour.
One rumour and one 'suggestion'. The rumour is Dorukhan Tokoz of Besiktas - never heard of him - whilst the suggestion is Nathan Clyne of Liverpool, apparently available on a free this summer. https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footba...watford-could-line-up-next-season_394337.html
https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...im-watford-close-signing-pape-gueye-le-havre/ Pape Gueye - 21 year old defensive midfielder from Le Havre - rumoured to be signing on a free. The name rings a bell - I'm sure we were rumoured to be siging him a year or two back.
