Was thinking this the other day, I like him and it's a great shout!!

Slowly slowly catchy monkey

What position does he play though? Seems too frail and slow for attacking misfielder in my opinion. (Didn't seem so the first time I saw him in the U21s years ago, but injuries have taken their toll)

He is left footed so playing on the right and cutting inside is something he likes, but he doesn't have as many matches there to formulate a valid opinion.

He could be a deep lying playmaker, but would need 2 box-to-box or attacking midfielders next to him to secure him.

From Watford? Deulofeu (currrently injured, but good player), Doucoure is a great box-to-box, I'd like Roberto Pereyra if he were free (but I doubt they let him free) and even Holebas, even though he's as old as a grandfather. His physique is one of a 28-30 year old. Cleverley is a decent box-to-box midfielder, but he wouldn't be cheap either.

Decent player. Remember when Hughes and Johnny Williams Were the up and coming midfielders that people were looking at.

All there strength is in midfield.

I’d have Sarr, Decouré, Gray, and Deulofeu in a heartbeat.

I’m in agreement that we need box to box midfielders, dynamic, with pace. We have all the deep lying players we need in Cheikou, Luka, and the Mc’s.

Sarr cost them 30mil and was on Barcà radar a few years ago, he’ll be at Udinese unless they get the fee they want. So I think we could rule him out on price. Decouré I think will end up at Arsenal and will be 20+mil region so he’s out, so Deulofeu or Gray.

Still owned by Gino Pozzo so if they go down expect a few to go on loan to Udinese for a season+. It might be though that there is a significant clearout and he cashes in on the squad with a view to building a new team. He makes more than a few wild decisions I don’t think Watford fans are ever bored. When you look at them it makes to you grateful for SP.

Will Hughes probably would trade Watford for Palace. Decent midfielder who knows which way to kick.
