Zambrano failed a test after taking allergy medication. The club believes he will get off, but the deal is structured so we can walk away at no loss if he's banned. It seems like we still have at least 4 to come in, main striker, RW and 2 CM. Possibly more if there are more going out. It's going...
Better late than never, 3 signed today and in total it's been a busy last couple of weeks (latest 3 at top):
Óscar Zambrano - LDU Quito (Ecuador top flight champions) - season loan with option
Mason Burstow - Chelsea
Charlie Hughes - Wigan
Liam Millar - FC Basel
Finley Burns - Manchester City...
So far it's just Connolly for Ireland, Furlong for Ireland U21, Delap and Philogene for England U21. Not sure if the African players' countries have games in this break so may lose them as well.
It's a note of caution to be sure, but I don't think we should write him off after a bad time at a club as dysfunctional as Watford. See also, Ozan Tufan who got a hattrick for us two games ago and is playing out of his skin.

We almost signed him last January but couldn't get the paperwork through in time. Apparently we've given up now because he has hardly played since then, so we moved on to new targets. One of them, Jason Lokilo is about to be announced, one time promising Palace youngster who lost his way a bit...
You did go for Delap, Blackburn were the other team in for him. Connolly is loan (but he's out of contract at end of season so we could sign him then).
It's certainly a strong rumour, but very hard to understand. We're getting rid of Figuereido because we need centre backs comfortable on the ball and good passers, which Bradley isn't. I think Rosenior will get a big say on who we sign and he knows a lot more than me so who knows. I still think...
