Sulberto21 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I’ve got a promotion in the dep of education- I’m banning the internet at all schools. in other news I actually warmed to the Sarr signing ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 He'd be a fantastic signing if we played with wingers, and we had wingers at the club who played on the left side rather than the position he plays in. Frankly I don't believe this happened. I think Sarr agent leaked this to hurry up Leeds and then we leaked the deal was off to stop the rumour mill.

Have to be careful with talented yet very inconsistent players. It’s always worth listening to what fans that watch them week in week out have to say.

Zatman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Ben Foster pod this week talking about how transfers are done so if the way he describes it with this scenario that Watford are the only guaranteed innocent party. Either us or Sarr pulled the plug on it as contracts are usually agreed before the bid is madw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol You think Ismaela Sarr was set to sign for us then decided " You know what, I've heard that he's unpleasant to work with, sod this I'm staying at Watford " He was operating in a different sphere then tbh - the calibre of player is higher now and there is a lot more competition for their signature. Rangers couldn't begin to look at players like Sarr, let alone Kamara or Carlos. In any case, I was hypothesising somewhat. No idea what his reputation is like among players he's worked with but the high turnover of players Rangers has been a concern since the time we were linked with him.

People would accept the ego of those coaches, especially Fergie, because they could back up their arrogance with evidence of success at the highest level. Being difficult to work with is not a good thing, though, and has to be balanced with something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'll be ecstatic if this falls through. We don't use either of our current right wingers enough to warrant buying another one. Never made sense so I predict complete made up rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should probably lock the thread soon. Issue is he probably won't sign a new contract will he? He's two years left and he's guaranteed a move next summer if he just stays put for now. If that's the case Watford will be keen for him to leave this window. Keeping Archer around and not signing Sarr is fine by me. It's not an area we were weak in right now either. A new 8 with Sanson leaving and a CB to replace Carlos are more pressing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
