Watford attempt to sign Manchester City's Jeremy Helan on permanent deal
3:23pm Friday 25th January 2013 in Sport
By Frank Smith, Deputy Group Sports Editor

Watford are in talks with Manchester City over the permanent signing of left-sided player Jeremy Helan.
Helan played four games on loan at Shrewsbury Town earlier this season before starting 11 times for Sheffield Wednesday during two months at the Championship strugglers.
The Frenchman’s loan expired after last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Dave Jones is keen to resign the 20-year-old, but fears he will lose him to Watford, who want to sign Helan permanently.
Helan , who can play at left back or on the left side of midfield, made his Manchester City debut as a late substitute in the Capital One Cup defeat to Aston Villa in September.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield today, Jones said: “We wait for the Jeremy Helan decision. Watford have come in and want to buy him. So we are still waiting on that decision.”
Jones continued: “He came in and did well. We are disappointed that someone else has come in but at this moment in time, we cannot match what they are offering.
“It is a case of seeing if the deal falls through. If it does then we have a good chance of getting him but if it doesn’t, then we move on to somebody else.”

We used to sit at the bottom of the championship food chain but now we can compete with the biggest!
Only concern is that this may alienate pudil who seems very close to vydra

He ran his contract down at Rennes and joined the famous Man City acadamy.

I don't know him at all (Helan), but he sounds like a great option on the left, where we have less natural options to choose from

He started off as left back but was then played more in the left midfield as his defending was seen as being 'slightly dodgy'. Very fast. He wishes Wednesday were keeping him permanently.
Finally, he was the player recently booked twice and wasn't sent off in a match.
One of those bookings was for diving - so sounds like he will fit right in! (only joking)

Mr Pozzo I love you so thanks for buying the Orns!
It makes sense that we are going for this lad as we do need back up/healthy competition for Pudil as Forsyth, Dickinson and Franchone are just not good enough for the first team... Not there fault it's just a case of "the bars been raised"

If you listen to this clip, Dave Jones says he thinks the deal for Helan with WFC will fall through. The interviewer carries on as if Jones has said it won't. Wednesday fans are split on how good he is but united in being upset that Watford can out bid them. Nice.

If he has so much potential why are City letting him go? I hope Forsyth stays - he gives 100% and I reckon will improve again under Zola.
Given regular games this lad will be a top quality player at Championship level---and will develop into a decent Premiership player---Mariappa, Danny Graham level.
(This is, in effect, what I have heard from some fairly knowledgable City supporting relatives. I know---! I send them food parcels and sympathy cards). It's another Pozzo investment in the future.
