Sean Murray - Watford

[sheffielder]

Seen this on Bladesmad.

Sean Murray - Attacking midfielder from Watford might be coming on loan. Very highly thought of by Watford fans but can't get a game due to the foreign army.

We should be definitely looking to do a loan with an option to buy if we go down this type of route.

Played in the capital one cup for Watford this year

It seems John Stevenson might be calling in some favours!

Who's John Stevenson?

 

[SotonBlade]

He's our Director of Football, or the equivalent thereof

 

[Latters]

Oh right. I've just tried Googling him (I like to ask first, I find Google is so impersonal) but only found a jeweller, a writer, a Tory MP and a chap from 1800s America. He was the 25th governor of Kentucky, don't ya know.

Anyway, I'm assuming it's none of those, as much as I'd like it to be the American one, if only because he'd be a 201 year old cowboy type, what's our John Stevenson's background? Usually directors of football seem to be failed or retired managers (Barry Fry, Piggy Pleat etc). Does he fall into this category?

So he is, I'd never heard of him either so had to google him, seems he's been keeping a low profile.

It's another loan though isn't it. If there's an option to buy at the end then great, but if not, whatever is going on?

Don't think he has a management background. Had the same position at Watford I believe which may have coincided with Julian Winters time there??

Ooooo, a youth player on loan from mighty Watford. Please, please, please let this be true.

 

[Bladesman]

Decent player Murray BUT it is another loan player and if he performs well will no doubt get called back.

Right now, it's like they play a different sport than we do. Beggars can't be choosers, and the bowl has been out with arms stretched for some time now. If this kid is good and available, get him in.

I'd take this loan move any day of the week. At the end of the day, he's fighting to get into a side with the likes of Abdi, Forrestieri, Battochio, Iriney and McGugan who would walk into virtually any side in the Championship.

It might only be a loan, but it's better than having nobody. With the way Watford are going there's no reason why it couldn't potentially turn into a permanent move depending on circumstances.

A season loan with the option to buy would be a good move for us.

 

[Oreyt]

What would we buy him with though?

With the sheeeyit we're in, I'll just take the loan.

Surely they will take Porter in exchange?

 

[true99blade]

Not heard anything about us being interested in him, doubt it'll happen

Got excited until I saw the source was blades Bastarding mad.

I'm sure Watford fans said "ooh, loads of youth players from Udinese"

 

[Latters]

I'm sure Watford fans said "ooh, loads of youth players from Udinese"

Udinese sounds a tiny bit better than Watford though, doesn't it?

 

[IOM Blade]

I'm sure Watford fans said "ooh, loads of youth players from Udinese"

I'm sure the youth player from mighty Watford is far better then anything we have at the moment, which makes it all the more depressing.

 

[2ndtenorblade]

Also, is it just me that finds it depressing that hull and palace are in the prem?

Hmmm... because we've never had any joy with unknown young players from Watford have we??

Yes and many other facts such as if we were to beat Yeovil or Bournemouth in the FA Cup it would probably be classed as a giant killing with respect to our league positions

We should be thankful that such an event is unlikely.

On the latest audioboo, Weir says he's not looking at this player.

He says they constantly check the market and have a list for each position but they aren't close to signing anyone.

I hope the last bit changes in the next 10 days
