I think Zielinski is ready to take over for Hamsik. But Jorginho will certainely need replacing. Torreira from Samp would be a nice pickup for them. Although they have been grooming Diawara for that role it seems.

Didn't he sign for Juve?
just about to post this - thought so myself
Its all opnion, personally think he was an average left back and central midfielder (though I think he was best there) and an awful centre back, always caught out by flick ons, bullied strength wise and lacking in pace. I think he is an intelligent footballer, but a very average one, we didnt pay much for him anyway, was a decent squad signing and neven with a year left £10-15m is still a bargain in todays market for a team, but rightfully sold
Yes....but they can sell him....why not. They bought him for 40m therefore to sell him for 100m would be amazing.
Obviously due to the World Cup but absolutely nothing happening at the moment, very frustrating for muppets.
Why would they sign Costa when they're getting Mahrez?
Alternative and a better player than Mahrez.
What is would give to have him in our right. Hope it's not true.
Maybe it's an alternative. He's a better player for slightly more money.

It is not slightly more. I doubt the report is true anyway. Look at their Jorginho offer, they arent paying over the odds for players anymore
What is Costa better at than Mahrez?
Think he's a better more explosive winger than Mahrez who is more of a playmaker.
Sunday is a poor day to satisfy my hunger for muppetery.
Roll on to the World Cup.
Roll on to the World Cup.
More explosive, not drifting in as much, and Pep has worked with him before. Price sounds ridiculous though.
Mahrez is incredibly lazy. Costa is much better when opposition has the ball. Pep game plan requires higher work rate than Mahrez has ever delivered.
Mahrez to united then?? I mean if City are after alternatives to Mahrez then where's he going?? I'd have him here for sure, and definitely over Costa.
Agreement Barsa-Watford for Deulofeu,13m€
How many will see the irony, I wonder?I want to play this game once
Spanish deny their physical & financial massive doping
Italians always think they are still in the 90s
English are utterly deluded with the PL actual value
Dutch are still in awe of their distant Cruyff past
Portuguese exploit their South American connections
French are racist and do not understand football
..and Pep was so happy with him that he benched him and he was shipped off to Juve. So of course he will buy him „back“ for €100m.

Costa's best form at Bayern came when Pep was manager.
Ancelotti was the one who benched him and he was then shipped to Juve.
Is it me or is Serie A one of the leagues where transfers between top clubs is ridiculously common? The teams are constantly improving their rivals' squads, it seems. Cases in point: Bonnuci (Juve-Milan), Higuain (Napoli-Juve), Pjanic (Roma-Juve), El-Shaarawy (Milan-Roma) from the top of my head.
The top Italian managers seem to keep rotating around each team in the league too.
Well, Higuain was sold for double his real value, so Napoli did well in fetching all that cash... Bonucci fell out with Allegri and probably had a gentleman’s agreement in place... and El-Shaarawy is average. Pjanic is great though
He's a decent player, but hasn't really shown anything to make him better than a mid-table signing. His best season was in 15/16 for Everton where he scored 2 and assisted 8 in the league. Is 24 years now, so he should have developed a bit more output then he has. That being said, a club like Watford could be good for him.
Yeah it's strange. Lots of ridiculous loan deals too where shall clubs will just loan their prized asset with an agreement to buy at the end for next to nothing. I'm sure there's some money laundering or something going on.
Can't say I agree. Sure, he is not a world beater, but on his day, he is a really exciting player to watch. I think this will prove to be a good piece of business for Watford.
13 million Euros is peanuts for a Premier League club these days.
Happens all the time here too. Just off the top of my head:
Sanchez (Arsenal-United)
Van Persie (Arsenal-United)
Mata (Chelsea-United)
Matic (Chelsea-United)
Oxlade Chamberlain (Arsenal-Liverpool)
Welbeck (United-Arsenal)
Mkhitaryan (United-Arsenal)
Nasri (Arsenal-City)
Clichy (Arsenal-City)
Adebayor (Arsenal-City)
Cech (Chelsea-Arsenal)
Sterling (Liverpool-City)
Torres (Liverpool-Chelsea)
Cole (Arsenal-Chelsea)
Gallas (Chelsea-Arsenal)
Sanchez, Shaw, Berbatov, Torres,
Yeah. Happens in Premier league too. Only between United and City/Pool doesn't have much action.
You have to add Spurs in this, they sold Bale and Modric to Real Madrid for less price than what we offered. Chelsea learnt their mistakes, they probably won't deal with us again in the future. It seems Arsenal is the only club that would be happy to sell their best player to us.
I’m pretty sure we sold Benayoun and Raul Meireles to Chelsea. Sturridge went from Chelsea to Liverpool.
