Doyley testimonial is 'vital' (From Watford Observer)

I'm sure GZ will realise that he needs a permanent quality striker with Beleck & Vydra struggling with fitness, if he hasn't already

Not sure what there is to do for 2 hours in between matches other than have your face painted, will be a first!!!

It would be great to see Tommy Smith back but he is not the Tommy Smith of old, and nor is Heidar Helguson. They were both heroes but time marches on. We need a striker but neither of these two. We want a Danny Graham, who is still of today.

Feff what is this DG obsession mate? They aren't ten a penny you know and I think Smudger would add to our squad. Heidar is now with Macpies mint sauce eleven

Think old Feff does have a point about Smiffy tho, LD. It's been, what, 2 seasons since he left us and a couple of years, when you're in your 30's is not summat to treat lightly. I hope he comes but I'm worried that he'll battle a bit. Wadjew fink?

But as an intelligent a player Smit (!). Is that helps compensate for lost pace. I would love a DG but who knows whose going to benefit from Zolas style? Garner?
I'm old enough to remember how poor the real Ross Jenkins was until GT got hold of him.
Glad Heidar wasn't considered I don't think he ever repaid the WFC fans for their devotion to him.
Looking forward to Spurs game, it's all damned exciting buddy!

Kevin Phillips is still knockeing them in for Blackpool.

Dont want Smith..time to move on from this old chestnut of old players coming back and setting the division on fire. He's past it now, forget sentiment we need to look forward with attacking options and going down this road does nothing but excite the traditionalists among us.

Younger, stronger, faster - there are plenty of other options that will be available to us from the Pozzo's and their contacts, I cant believe they will have sat down and said to each other "There's this bloke who used to play for Watford at QPR. He's not played much recently so lets get him back and get him to score 20 goals for us and get us in the Premier League" - its not their philosophy to go down this road and it wont happen, so forget Tommy Smith, he's had his time here and we are a different animal now, he will not be our saviour this season.

be glad to buy an old mucker a beer

Have been told Smiffy still a decent player, just not up to the standard QPR are looking to bring in for in Premiership. Have always felt he was one of those players who are borderline premiership but quality Championshiip. Would like to see him back, but, then again, there are plenty of others out there. Will he be another one year contract if signed?

To Casterbridge - Tommy Smith was never a goal scorer in the Kevin Phillips class. Forget the past - you'll want Danny Webber back next! Look forward, in every way.

Not quite sure how a thread on LD testimonial has turned into a debate about TS and HH?!

Re Lloyd - you probably won't read this but in a time when many professional footballers are 1) Foul! 2) Greedy 3) Ignorant 4) Arrorgant, I am pleased to say you avoided being any of the above - old school footballer and a great ambassador for our club - many heart felt congratulations and well done.

Mangoputney---- well said, couldnt agree more!
