I read that we need to sign him by tomorrow if we want to register him in our champions league squad. This one may happen rather quickly if it does.

Under a tree.
I watched some of the Watford-Reading game on the weekend, and Reading just parked the bus for most of the time and he was very ineffective, though he was playing upfront in a 3-5-2.

On a loan, its fine, to see how he is might integrate into the attack but on a permanent deal it would be a straight up panic and very pretty disappointing

Be more than happy with Sarr, looks like he might actually wanna track back too unlike bling boys Sancho and Dembele.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
Makes little sense if we’re spending 30m plus on 2 other RW prospects and supposedly still want Sancho next year. They want 40m apparently so that’d be 70m spent on three right wingers in a day... Unless we can get him on loan which was rumoured a while back. He’s probably on big wages for the championship.

I watched him few times and I must say he has Lukaku first touch.

Watford are going to demand £40-50m for Sarr, Bournemouth are going to demand £40-50m for Brooks.

Norwich want £20m for Buendia, Brentford want £20-25m for Benrahma.

Very little difference in their current levels. Buendia did create 80 odd chances last season Grealish was 90 odd...

Proper underwhelming.

Not good enough. If he comes here, everyone will be furious with his inconsistent technical ability and lack of end product in no time.

We want him for a season long loan with an option to buy. We have no actual intention of exercising that option which is why Watford have countered with a €25m penalty if we fail to sign him next summer.

Ed is the most transparent negotiator around. He probably thought he was being clever.

Can I shock you? I like Sarr, he is actually quite simply the one I've had my heart set on all summer. Over the moon.
Same. Much rather have him over Amad Traore. Liked Sarr since the world Cup.

Please don’t drop 40m on him.
According to talksport Watford want 25m penalty clause if you choose not to sign him end of the season.

He's a good player but didn't assist or score a huge amount last year. Probably where Adama Traore was two years ago.

Would've thought if you were spending that much but can't get a Sancho or Dembele you'd go all in for Saint Maxinm.

Genuinely shocked we haven't been linked with Zaha at this point.

Are we actually going to spend 70 odd million on Sarr, Traore on the Urugyan kid? Maybe the latter two are great talents, no idea, but Sarr seems limited to me. That's a lot of money to spend on okay/prospect players.

Liked the limited bits of him I've seen but if Watford have any sense they'll try to absolutely scalp us on the fee.

If we are going for a cheap backup option out wide I’m not even convinced he’s the best option from Watford. Deulofeu could be worth a cheap punt for somebody.
Going to Udinese apparently. I actually think that's an arrangement so Watford can get him back easily if they go straight back up.

His injury v Liverpool was a massive blow to their survival hopes. Sarr didn't do much in games post lockdown but does have pace and talent so more coaching to could get him up to top 6 standard.

This is sickening, just go with the 2 kid wingers, to spend £25M on a loan for this bum because you fecked the Sancho deal up is stupidity, even worse if we pay £45M and are stuck with him.
