Do you not think in the final two games of pre-season giving more time for the 1st choice keeper with the 1st choice defence is more beneficial than the 3rd and 4th choice keepers playing? I'd guess Bazunu will be 1st choice, so he should really play in at least one of the games if not both.

Some Barnsley fans on their forum seem to think he is heading to them. So perhaps he is training with them ahead of a loan move like Chauke did at Exeter.

It is far from ideal, but with Perraud and Livramento out injured the options are limited unless a loanee comes in to cover Livramento until the New Year.

Why do you think that is 'clearly' what the club want to do with them? I think it looks like the plan may be for them both to start in the 1st league game.

No Simeu in the B team squad tonight vs Eastleigh, so perhaps a loan is close.

We play formations that use two strikers, that really needs at least four strikers in the squad for decent depth. So neither Adams or Armstrong need to leave.

Can you outline an alternative strategy you'd be happy with?

Their local paper claims it was... 'In the region of £30m' https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/17825048.watford-announced-signing-ismaila-sarr-rennes/

Is that higher or lower than insane?

Would you go as far as saying it is an insane signing?
