Edoardo Bove

So we just need that extra body back.

I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but we are missing Eduardo Bove so badly at the moment.

He is the missing cog in the Watford wheel.

Just missing that energy in the middle.

So...

My choice would be to take him out.

I slightly worry about Kipriano when Bove's back.

Pajero...

At the moment, every August...

And this year, Bove, Bravo.

Where do they come from? Why haven't we got players that believe in the club and want to stay in the club? The reason we don't is because of the way that players are paid and the way that clubs make themselves financially secure.

We made a big profit in the summer on our transfer window, but we shipped out players.

that we really liked, Chad Fetadze, Iren Kunda, we liked the look of them, we thought, oh, they might develop in, gone.

And we've got two new players, we like Bravo, he looks like a player, but Bove looks quite, but they'll be gone next summer, because they'll get offered money for them, and they'll go, we need that money to keep our heads above water.

So it isn't just about, Gino and Watford it is about a kind of model of second tier football which is that it's very hard to keep your players because you have to sell them for profit in order to make up to pay the wages and to make up for the revenue you don't get so we get 11 million or something like that from Sky for the midweek games and we probably get a bit more overall and And then we get the revenue from gate receipts and so on.

And then we get some sponsorship money.

They're very light in that area.

Ever since Eduardo Bove has been out injured, the midfield has fallen apart and they are getting...

They're getting well.

Even the 2-1 loss at Stoke, they were battered in that game.

Yeah

... and X player is, like, Eduardo Bove-

Exactly

... and you're like, "Lads, come on."

So you, you kind of we- I, I think everybody's hoping for it and hoping that some players will come back into it, but I don't see it.

A player who's really important to us is a guy called Eduardo Bove.

Um, he is, uh, this, this is the, the quality lad, um, who w- we only got in because he was at Roma, uh, under, under Mourinho.

Mourinho absolutely loved him.
