I like Witsel - He's a good player. I wouldn't pay £30m for him though, but I suppose Everton are probably going to have to start over-paying to get someone of stature across the line.

Maybe being a Saints fan has softened me to losing players, but I think I would've taken both £25m for Deeney & £37m for Ighalo! So I suppose I should say fair play to Watford for standing firm.

DEENEY SIGNS NEW CONTRACT There has been plenty of speculation about the future of Troy Deeney so far this window but Watford have confirmed that their captain has signed a new five-year contract. “This club really means business and I want to be part of this,” Deeney told the club's official website. “I’ve listened carefully to everything the club has had to say to me recently.“We’ve talked things through in a sensible way – and it’s helped me fully deal with lots of my own thoughts. “When you’re right in the middle of something, maybe you take it for granted how quickly things are moving forward. I don’t think I’ve done that; but by talking it over it’s clear that Watford isn’t ever going to settle for second-best – and that’s how I want to feel about my career so it works for me.”

& here it is...

Wait until he says something about having his head-turned by a big club....

It's now confirmed. I like what they are doing early. Keeping Rafa was a brilliant move.

That will be seriously depressing.

Wouldn't disagree with that. Guessing Redmond deal has seen an end to that. He reminds me of Mane when he plays.

Watford complete signing of Isaac Success from Granada for club record fee in the region of £12.5m, according to Sky sources. -------------------------------------------------- Watford have now completed the signing of Belgium defender Christian Kabasele from Genk for fee in region of £5.8m on a five-year contract, according to Sky sources. -------------------------------------------------- Busy morning at Vicarage Road: Watford have rejected a £37.5m bid from Shanghai SIPG for Odion Ighalo. The club is also close to completing the signing of Belgian centre-back Christian Kabasele from Genk, according to Sky sources.

He & McQueen always seem to start off really well in pre-season.

Is this a new pic? I don't keep track of what's been released

Interesting from Neil Perrett @ the Bournemouth Echo: Had Koeman not left #saintsfc, Lys Mousset would have signed for them. #afcb

Very nicely done and completely off the cuff

Looks like it's got a sports-bra on that's pulled up too high!

Guess that's done then

1st team coach then?

Yeah, there was a tweet from a little while ago that said that was happening.

Sky sources: Andros Townsend to have medical at Crystal Palace this afternoon.

Very happy to hear he's extended his contract with us too.
