It's funny you mentioned DP, I was actually thinking about him when I read the article and how this resonates
How do you know that Hooper is "happy" to sign? I can barely find any info about the situation at all!
I understand that Hooper has agreed to sign on a season long loan but Norwich want us to pay 100% of his wages while Wednesday thought they had agreed on a lower percentage. Both clubs are now posturing with Wednesday saying they have other targets & Norwich saying Hooper will be involved this weekend.

I see.
To be honest he's not worth 32k a week. That's surely double the wage any other player at the club is on, nearly 1M in wages over the course.
Add the fee for the loan and we're looking at 1.5M to borrow a player for 8 months.
Arguably this is peanuts if he propelled us into the playoffs. No risk, no reward and all that.
I just can't make much sense of what's happening. We have 5 strikers, apparently only one is worth a shit?
We've signed a defender that CC doesn't rate? And now a veteran defender on a season long loan.

If I was in charge then they'd blink first

I suspect that Lachman, May & Lavery will be going out on loan or leaving shortly with Dielna probably joining them.
Wasn't Lachman signed before CC joined?

I believe that's the case MS.
I think Lachman signed a week or two before CC finally announced? It's the committee responsible for the signings now if I am not mistaken and not CC?
If I were Lachman I'd be pissed off, signing a 2 year deal at a new club, within 2 weeks the new manager doesn't rate me. Who's going to take him from us?
Which is sort of my point about the committee, Shouldn't they have known CC was in the pipeline with regard to a couple of these signings? What level of communication are we operating at within the club?
IMO there's a little bit of incompetence and desperation knocking about the club still.
I am surprised that May/Lavery already haven't been sent down the A61 to Chezzy so that they can play football.

Some players look for loans so they can play while others shun them.
We will have a better idea of which category players are in next week.

"Forestieri scored his first goals as a permanent Watford player against Sheffield Wednesday on 5 March 2013 – netting a brace at Vicarage Road in an emotional 2–1 win where Forestieri was spotted crying and kissing the Watford badge after the final whistle"
We could do with a good badge kisser
So, we're listening to offers for May. He's as good as done with us. This just leaves Lavery needing somewhere to go, and now Lachman unless he is nothing more than backup.

No idea why there's 2 Stevie May's in the picture. It's against the laws of physics.

I mention Vydra last weekend as a decent option after Watford said he could go on a season long loan.
