Announcement at Brighton Friendly 09:25 - Aug 2 with 12560 views | numptydumpty | Know we have the transfer thread but just highlighting this on its own. Am thinking Varane will be announced on Saturday and possibly the Juventus defender, although that may depend on Paal being sold. QPR have done this a few times in the past. Anyone agree ??

The trouble is, if the Italian transfer breaks down, how is Paal going to feel? The club have made it clear they are happy to move him on, so if he ends up staying for the season, will it affect his attitude and performance. He certainly won't sign an extension now if he was even considering it before. A bit of a mess. You would have thought they would have made sure his move to Watford was cast iron ( it's being talked about all summer) before lining up a replacement | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Absolutely. For weeks now the general election thread has been far more active than the transfer window one. Even though last time I checked the general election was settled. There seem to be a minority of posters keen to contest a culture war. Arguably its a good thing if people get out of their silos and debate with people of very different opinion. But some seem far more animated on here about their political opinion than they are about their football club. Perfectly legitimate - indeed sensible - to regard politics as more important than football, but as Clive says this is actually a football forum. As a liberal I should report that not a word written on this board by the Faragists has changed my mind on anything; and it would be arrogant in the extreme to imagine anything written by a liberal on here has changed the minds of the Faragists. To get it back on subject, I'm fairly indifferent about the Italian and don't think its imminent. But I am curiously excited by the Varane potential signing. Even though I have never seen him play, nor had I heard of him until we were linked to him. Which probably makes me the worst kind of football fan just getting excited about players for the sake of it, who Clive has quite rightly satirised on here many times. But such a relief we seem to have moved on from the Jeff Hendrix years and are trying to develop young, skilful, technical players. Until he turns out to be the next Andre Dozzell... | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Apologies, I was only messin with you You may be right, but given half the stadium is closed and the rest sparsely populated they'll need to work hard to big any announcement up They might be better just popping into the Crown with any new recruits before the game | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Do we actually know if Pal has had an offer from us or if he wants a better deal at Watford or somewhere else? Is it the club's decision or Pal wanting more money than we can offer? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I dunno Paal has always struck me as a real professional. He was only of the only recruits who came in with Beale who didn't behave like a child and kept at his task. He'll know it's all just part of the game and if he stayed I'd be confident in him just doing his job | ![](/images/avatars/6058.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Have the Club made it clear they are happy to move Paal on? I've not seen that and doubt they would do that in public either. Only seen rumour and speculation. I'm hoping this Italian player who doesn't seem to have played a lot of 1st team football for some years is an alternative to Paal, and more of a replacement for Larkeshe. Not sure Fox will be sufficient back up alone for either Frabotta or Paal. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It could be the five pints of overpriced beer that I consumed last night, but I am already highly sceptical of the contribution this 'Varane' is making to the team. He needs to pull his socks up pronto if he wants to count on my continued support and such and so on. | ![](/images/avatars/2096.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Two. Fox played at LB until Stoke played him CB. My Watford supporting mate is not to happy with the signing as he had a bad time at Sheff Utd. | ![](/images/avatars/21942.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
