When we go down,

who do you think will leave?

 

Surely Sarr will go.... and Dennis, Foster will retire.....

 

i think some of the recent mercenaries will go as they wont want to stay and we wont be able to afford them

 

We might well have a midfield to rebuild too.

I need to see how long some players contracts are for too.

Might impact decisions on Clev, Kucha & Sissoko too.

Sure, Louza, an international, might want out too.

 

I think hope that we will keep Foster, Cathcart, Kabasele, Feminia, Massina, Etebo, Bashiri, Cleverley, Herandez, Pedro and Kalu

That will give us the basis of a squad, there must be some players coming through the academy that we can use in the Championship

As i said before we may have to accept a couple of years the Championship to build a strong squad again

 

Don't tell some on Twitter and WFC forums that!

But you are right - those sort of of players probably will stay and do well in the Championship.

I hope Pedro and Cucho can stay - they'd be good potentially.

Sarr will be off - probably at a loss and Dennis might go.

We will see Hungbo, Baah, Pollock etc get a chance they won't get in the Premier league.

 

We just need to keep all the players we can and hope some of the under 23', and under 18's can step up

I think Pedro, Hernandez and Kalu could rip apart the average Championship defence, provided they are motivated

I wonder if Kamara and Samir will stay, be great if they do, almost a full squad

 

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-watford/kader/verein/1010 ,oght be accurate, if so then these players contracts are up in the summer:

Foster, Etebo (wasn't he a loan,) Clevs & Kucha.

Sissoko, Carthorse, King to 2023

Sarr's is until 2024

Pedro 2025

Dennis, Louza 2026.

I know that doesn't mean they'll stay or go, but has some impact on fees etc.

 

Foster, Cathcart, Clevs, Kucha, N'Koulou, Gosling, Sema - too old or injury prone or useless. They can go.

Let's face it, Sarr, Louza, Dennis, Kamara, Femina, and maybe even Sissoko will want out and who can blame them. (I kind of want to put Sissoko in the above category) Maybe, Femina will stay.

Even JP and CHdz might want out, I'd like to try to hold on to them two. Etebo too, but I think he is on loan to the end of the season. King and all, he could stay.

We are going to need some serious rebuilding, we need to rediscover a style and set up all over again.

Bright side, I think if we stayed up, we'd have to buy Tufan, so maybe relegation is worth it. Clutching at straws, I know!

 

That'd leave u with

-------------Bachman
Ngalia--Sieralta-Samir- Masina
------------Kayembe---------------
CH-------------------------------Baah
--------Kalu-----King----JP------.

Subs - randomers left.

Get a couple of loans back. Zinc, Fletcher, Polock, TDB, Hungbo.

A complete reshuffle needed. Get the oldies out and rebuild,

I know, all guess work really!

 

João Pedro extended his contract until 2027 and not 2025.

Transfermarkt is not always accurate.

 

Would be a half decent champs team.......
need to form as a team though..........
a half decent coach is probably the most important thing in the mix

 

It might be easier to ask who will stay - or who we want to stay. I can't see too many of bigger names wanting to stay though...
A major clear-out is needed imo - but we should do whatever we can to keep
Samir
Pedro
Etobo
Kamara

and possibly

Sierralta
Kabasele

Then hope that Okoye, Hungbo and Pollock want to come back.

 

And we need to get that coach in early so that he has the benefit of a pre season first.

 

A neutral’s view on things .

 

Yes...very well put

 

Apparently had we not gone up we’d be in a right pickle financial wise but how much no sure ?

Guess it might be the same next season although the wage bill won’t be so high .

 

After reading this, we have no option but to stay up. If only to put Chris Sutton in his place...

Not also 'Cucho' Hernandez?

 

I put him in the category of 'bigger names who may not want to stay.'
Would be happy to be proven wrong though.
