There’s surely no way we spend 2m on a player who was free only 5 months ago? The money will likely be to cover the short fall in wages for the length of his contract.

Regarding Mounie, how ironic that when he was in the team we had no wingers and didn’t play to his strengths ( if I remember we rarely threatened from set pieces or got many crosses in for him). Almost as soon as he left, we have been crying out for a ‘target man’ to make the most of our crosses and to give us a presence up front. Typical Town, but not as typical as Bojan getting injured before his first start! I just remember him never being in the box, too slow, poor movement and no strikers instinct IMHO. Would love to see a proper striker on the end of Sorbas deliveries though, hoping Radulovic might be the man if we can get him fit. If Chris Beech could score from outside the box with a header, i'm certain with the right service Mounie would have !

So Mounie isnt good enough for Town and never was.
All we're after is a fast, 6ft3, strong, goal scoring, ball playing striker.
Robert Lewandowski anyone?

Jeez there are some negative sods on this site. Let’s enjoy some positive backing from the owner for once.

He is ready to back the club with what it needs. Now just this centre back as well + a new manager maybe and we’re good to go…

Healy had an ACL issue at Toulouse so we have to hope he hasn’t hit the same dip in form that Wiles has. Hardly played for Watford since his move, though I don’t know what other striker options they have.

This time last year we signed from memory all frees and loans and we’re scratching around for most of the window and other then hungbo none worked out! The 4 so far(I’m presuming) almost to a man have a better profile and potential!!!in my opinion

I assume he has proved his fitness since his injury.

There’s surely no way we spend 2m on a player who was free only 5 months ago? He was a free agent but that just means agent can get a much higher signing on fee

The thing that's been most enjoyable about this window, its once again highlighted how little the likes of Castlehill know despite dishing dirt on Maynard.
But also how great it is to have Dirtyoldtown, Maynard, Bblueterrier etc etc who post actual information which makes the forum worthwhile. Yes this is a bit suck up but grateful they all come on and update us all.

Yes this is a bit suck up but grateful they all come on and update us all. There are plenty on here that get snippets of information and post what they've heard including Castlehill and NewMill. Unfortunately, by the time they've heard the information things have developed (or not) and it appears, incorrectly, that the poster was making it up. This rarely is the case in my opinion. More likely that we have decided not to progress with the signing, or the selling club/player have decided Town is not for them. Loving the ITK wars though.

IMO Healey could score more at town because we play a different way to Watford but 2mill is a absolute joke especially seen as Watford fans don’t rate him

Looks like Balker's been pretty much ever-present for a year and a half since he recovered from his. Healey, on the other hand, got three minutes in Toulouse's final game of last season and has only started two games for Watford this. Also worth noting this was actually his second ACL tear - first was with Cardiff in 2017 (same - left - knee as far as I can tell).

It’s a worry most definitely.the above would suggest if you add his recent record(chicken quoted last 5 years in his piece) that should he be match fit and get a run of games that he will score goals. Saw a Watford fan tweet that he was just starting to get up to speed so meant we’ve picked him off at a good time.let’s hope so
