So there's a brief description of Watford FC currently. Now on to the real issue that needs considering. Watford now sit 2nd in the championship with some of the loanee's heavily contributing Fernando Forestieri is technically a permanent Watford player which i do not understand the reason for selling a player from the club you own to your other club,When the owner completed the takeover he reassured Hornet fans that they are here for the long term. This brings me on to the other potential alternative for Watford. If Watford really are part of the long term aims of the Pozzo family then it would only be right to keep the loanee's that have had the most impact on the first team, Vydra, Abdi, Ikechi Anya, Battocchio and Cassetti amongst others, whilst using the obvious financial benefits of promotion to look toward adding experienced heads in key area's to ensure that when the fluctuations in form that occur over a season happen. Watford will still have a solid base of players to keep the younger players calm and in control. effectively paying yourself) but lets say that Watford get promoted, something which i believe is becoming even more of a certainty week after week, and Udinese and Granada are so thrilled with the development of their youth players on loan at Watford that they want them back for their respective first teams. What is the plan then? Is the strategy to send the next influx of youth players to Watford and bank on them all clicking and adapting to Premier League football well enough to ensure Watford do not end up as cannon fodder. If this is the preferred strategic plan of Giampaolo Pozza and Chairman Raffaele Riva then I'm sure manager Gianfranco Zola will not be impressed as I'm sure he will feel he needs more tried and trusted players at Premier League level or around the world. Even an ever optimistic Zola will have to concede that without more experience in the squad, should they get promoted, the loanee's may struggle to come to terms with the weight that would be placed on their shoulders for Watford's survival.
