Ellis Simms to Sunderland from Everton on season loan.
https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com...l-championship
There was a vague link to us a few weeks back - but most of the press speculation was about Sunderland (or back to Blackpool or Hearts). Not really 'one that got away' and not that much of a prize?
The Jacks sold a player for 17 mill….and bought a player for 1.2 mill. Where did the remaining 15.8 million go ?
Liam Delap linked with a loan move to Stoke
Who did they sell for £17m? I must have missed that. I saw Downes was sold for between £8m-£12m depending on which media outlet you choose to believe.Quote:

Swansea were interested a while back - maybe the impact of the new loan ruling as we are a different FA?
Nathan Broadhead signing for Wigan and Sunderland according to Twitter. Could be interesting.
Alfie Mawson released by Fulham and now signed a 1-year deal with League One Wycombe Wanderers. He cost Fulham around £20m in 2018. How the mighty have fallen.
wow I'm surprised nobody in the championship has given him a goQuote:

Good move for him. Shame we didn't get anything for a player who's clearly considered to be premier league quality.Quote:

I wonder if that puts an end to the Davies speculationQuote:

if he scores 12 goals this season he definitely will beQuote:

:hehe:
yeah I did think about our Zohore deal, but I think this Watford one is on another level of dodgyness.Quote:

in this latest deal Watford appear to have paid well over the odds for a player in order to increase their income and be able to spend more in England without falling foul of FFP.
a player they bought in January for 3 ish million they suddenly sell for £16 million and have him loaned back for the season.
no way would anyone else have offered that money for him.
how has his value increased so much following 19 games and a relegation. They only won 2 of the games he played in for them in the premier League.
