The Official Silly Season January Transfer Thread 2017/18

If a tiger and a polar bear had a fight , who would win?

I'm calling this one for the tiger.

I saw a fight between a polar bear and a walrus on Planet Earth the other night. The walrus parked the bus and the polar bear couldn't break him down. If the tiger spends any time at all in the tape room, he'll see that the bear is pretty predictable and can be beaten on the counter.

We don't have any cups to play the kids in, and Edun is ahead him in the pecking order. Would be good for him to get some first team minutes.

You are so right  - the place to continue their footballing education

The place to .........'Ponce '

In Joka we trust
With Joka we ponce

la liga is also the best place for them to go and learn our tippy tappy style of play

Levante want to sign Fulham's highly-rated 17-year old central midfielder Matt O'Riley on loan until the end of the season.

The La Liga club are keen to boost their midfield options and believe the England U18 international would provide a significant boost to their ranks.

What do you think, would do him no harm.

thoughts anyone?

Do him good but why is he not playing in the U23s or the U18s...is it because the feeling is that he can develop better by training with the first team. If so, does raise question marks about the value of those leagues. Same applies to Edun.

I would say the only winner would be Sky Box Office! 😟

Pleasantly surprised if the club pulls this one off. Good striker in the Zamora mould.

Hope hes improved, thought he was rank average last time around. Had a decent spell in a weak league in Belgium but one in five for Watford

[grandad]

Saw him play a few weeks ago on TV. He looks to have bulked up. Got some dietry tips from Martin I expect.

#WatfordFC transfer window breaking

#FCB's Gérard Deulofeu set for loan. Talks taken place & deal expected to be signed in 24hours.

Expect up to two other signings before deadline - defensive midfielder & attacker.

Understand reports of Okaka to Fulham loan not done.

Shocking if true, and would really, really question our boards intentions, if this one went through. Yes, it was 8 years ago, but, Okaka is absolutely bang average, and his goal scoring record is poor. Wouldn't mind if he was technically gifted, but he isn't. Would rather we continued to develop Kamara.

[@jolslover]

If we signed Okaka, Big coup. Milan were after him not too long ago. Italian international.... I'm skeptical.

[Tabby]

If it is a loan we also run into the trouble that we can't have more than 5 loans in a match day squad. With Ojo, Norwood, Kalas, Piazon and Targett all seemingly being in the first choice squad, it would be strange to add more.

He is technically good, Not a donkey by any means. Watch his goal against Everton for Watford and then tell me he isn't a skillful player.
A selection of tweets from Watford fans include
"Okaka would bully championship defences. Would love to watch him get Slav promoted."
"Okaka is too good for the championship imo. Fair f**ks"

[St. Andrews White]

Would love Okaka, strong boy and would do well here I think

In American baseball parlance, Okaka is a "AAAA player." Not quite good enough for the top league (Premiership or Major League Baseball), but better than the standard for the second tier (Championship or AAA minor league baseball, which is above AA and A).

He seems like a more polished (not as fast) AK to me, which would mean goals. He definitely knows how to get into spots in front of goal. Makes decent runs, has a bit of holdup skill. Hard to complain with this loan if it comes off. Low risk, possibly big reward.

Agree - Hardly inspiring. Not a lot better than we already have.  Maybe it's just an attempt to appease the fan's call for signings.

[MrFFC]

Would be happy with Okaka he would bring something different
