Watford sign Udinese loanees Sergio Piccoli Neuton, Joel Ekstrand, Fernando Forestieri and Jean-Alain Fanchone
6:51pm Friday 31st August 2012 in Sport
By Frank Smith, Deputy Group Sports Editor
Watford have taken their number of summer signings to 16 with the addition of four more Udinese loanees.
The Italian club confirmed this morning that Cristian Battocchio had joined the Hornets on loan and this afternoon the Championship club added highly-rated Chelsea defender Nathaniel Chalobah – signings 11 and 12 since the Pozzos’ takeover.
And tonight Udinese have announced that Neuton Sergio Piccoli, Joel Ekstrand, Fernando Forestieri and Jean-Alain Fanchone have joined Watford on loan.
Fanchone has been with the Hornets all week, as previously reported by the Watford Observer, and was joined by Battocchio today. Now the pair will have three more Udinese team-mates at the London Colney training base.
Fanchone, 23, is a left back who joined Udinese from RC Strasbourg in January and was on trial with another of the Pozzos’ clubs, Granada, earlier this summer.
Like Battocchio, Forestieri was at Argentine club Newell’s Old Boys in his early teens and signed for Udinese from Genoa in 2009.
The 22-year-old, who predominantly plays as a forward or behind the front man, has featured for most of Italy’s age groups up until Under-21 level and has spent the majority of the last three years out on loan.
Last season he was at Serie B side Bari and scored twice in 30 appearances, the year before he scored three times in 20 outings for Empoli in the same division, and in the 2009/10 campaign he netted once in 20 outings for La Liga side Malaga. He has yet to play for Udinese’s first team.
Neuton is a 22-year-old centre back who can also play at left back or in defensive midfield.
He joined Udinese from Brazillian side Gremio in 2011 but only made nine appearances for the Italian club last season, although five of those were in Europe and included two starts against Arsenal in Champions League qualifying.
As for Ekstrand, he is a 23-year-old Swedish centre back who started his career at Helsinborg.
He joined Udinese in January 2011 and made 19 appearances for Udinese last season; seven of those coming in Europe and he also played in both games against the Gunners.
One player linked with a move away from Watford is centre back Martin Taylor, who has captained the side in recent matches.
The Watford Observer understands Sheffield Wednesday have been keen on the defender for more than a month and there are reports the Championship side are set to make a move before the transfer window closes at 11pm tonight.
The Hornets will not be in a rush to offload today, however, as the loan window reopens for British clubs next week.

That's an entire team! They won't need time to gel because they already know each other.
The big question is
HOW LONG BEFORE OTHER SIDES IN THIS LEAGUE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF LOAN PLAYERS WE HAVE?????

I didn't realise I'd bought a ST to Udinese reserves.
I really disliked Bas but the Pozzos seem to be screwing us over a different way.
They've taken away the soul of my club in a matter of weeks.
I don't want this method of running a club to be successful and if it does fail we'll be left with no players and a debt the Pozzos have failed to state they will clear.

Of course we could send all of the loans back because they are not english and focus on a relegation dog fight how about that? I hate negative people!!! Watford are on the up maybe not this season but within 2 years we will be there.

This is going to create massive pressure for Zola to get results given we will have no excuses about lack of numbers.
Lets see how much these guys fancy Charlton or Cardiff away on a Tuesday night.
TBF I'd been impressed with Vydra,Abdi and the new left back so far.
Didn't go on Tuesday night though.

Think it's great , 8 weeks ago the safe wasn't opened and the police were called, now we don t give a stuff about the safe ! I understand the concerns , but sadly the Watford way, family club, clearly needs revamping , we are all sick of struggling , and I am personally looking forward to being a glory hunter, not so sure about the st prices but. certainly looking forward to Derby tomorrow !.

BAZ ROBBED SEVERAL MILLION OUT THE CLUB !
We were 48 HOURS FROM ADMIN, Minus 10 points, FIRE SALE ETC ETC
SO WAKE UP !!
EVERY EXISTING PLAYER HAD MORE THAN A FAIR CHANCE TO SHINE
HOW MANY GAMES DID GARNER START IN PRE SEASON ETC ?
After going for 40 years, and staring at a crap stand etc, I am the most excited I have ever been !!
ZOLA is a Gentleman, he wants to do really well. The management are backing us, yes we may have too many players, but it's a case of "pick the bones out of all this potential"
If we play good football, build a new stand, I will be a happy bunny, championship or higher
SO EMBRACE OR DON'T GO !

francowatford wrote:Totally agree! Seems like Zola has no choice over these players and has to somehow keep all 93 players happy!
I agree with some comments that I feel the heart and soul is being ripped out of the club as I would have liked a slow progress with home grown players in the squad making the results that pushes us up the table. I really hope that the players that have been through it all in recent years are good enough to stay in the team. I think Nosworthy is a fantastic acquisition for us, he has been rock in defence, Eustace is slow but has great leadership skills and chips in with the odd goals and I actually prefer Bauben. Hogg is fantastic in midfield and dispute Lumo’s slow progress from last season he has done extremely well to win the fans over with his end of season performances. As for this year Lumo look like a man possessed!! Defenders can not handle him!! The perfect combination is a perfect mix of loans and the best of last year. We should not have lost in the capital cup as this would have been a perfect cup to test Udinese loans. On the positive side I'm ridiculously excited about what the Pozzos are doing but I really hope they keep the entity of the club close to their heart like they said they would do in the press releases.

I think this is a genuine attempt at fast tracking the club to success but i guess the concern is that it is a lot of change in a short time and will it gel and work. It does feel a little scatter gun and over the top as well as exciting but if the hype is true the players coming in on the whole are a class above most of what we had already. At least its being done in a way that minimises the expense to the club and if the players dont work out were not stuck with them and if they do by the sounds of it they'll be back next season, and the one after and so on until they get sold for big money.
If the worst happens and this doesnt work out and the Pozzo"s decide to bail out the club isnt going to be left lumbered with a bunch of players on wages it cant afford. Nathan Ellington anyone?

It is a 46+ game season.
The fact is some of the existing players are not good enough for the club to progress.
As for the youth set up, Zola has not been frightened to use these players again if they are good enough eg Connor Smith.
The trouble is we have been so use to fighting against relegation, using our youth players etc.
It wasn't so long ago that we were doing not too bad before xmas only for the players to flop and us only taking 9points from the last 14 games. That was under MM.
Expect a large number of players to go out on loan when the Window opens.
Be patient, get behind the team and the time to start whinging is NOT NOW.
If you don't like it go and support that lot up the road!.

I'll tell you why: as anyone without their head up theirars can see, this is no way to run a football club. No-one can keep up with the signings, (least of all Zola), none are from the area or even the country they will play in. None will be committed to the club, beyond putting themselves in the fabled 'shop window'.
I can remember when Watford wanted to be more than a shop window, when we wanted to be special, different, a unique place, a club with a soul.
Those days are long gone - and the men who are killing us are being hailed as saviours by their brain-dead cheerleaders on here.

I find it odd that you are generalising about all 16 new players and saying none will be committed. How can you be so arrogantly judgemental? As for slating them and saying they are just putting themselves in the shop window isn't that what all young aspiring players do at smaller clubs?
People are surprised why the crowds aren't coming back, why the Pozzzos have not captured the imagination.
I'll tell you why: as anyone without their head up theirars can see, this is no way to run a football club. No-one can keep up with the signings, (least of all Zola), none are from the area or even the country they will play in. None will be committed to the club, beyond putting themselves in the fabled 'shop window'.
I can remember when Watford wanted to be more than a shop window, when we wanted to be special, different, a unique place, a club with a soul.
Those days are long gone - and the men who are killing us are being hailed as saviours by their brain-dead cheerleaders on here.

I guess there will be coach loads going out on loan next week when loan window opens and for other clubs there are some decent players avaialble also garner and jenkins for any sunday sides.

As I have said before, DJ Watford is actually Bazzini!! The Pozzo family have been in charge of Udinese for 25 years. They are not here for the short term. Udinese pay a maximum wage of £45,000 per week. They do not spend beyond there means. They develop young potentional like we do. They sell that potential for multi millions. We used to sell for pennies, so its good that we now have some real negotiators in charge. Udinese are one of the only clubs in Italy to have a managable debt so much so that they could clear it outwright if needed. They have one of the best and most proved business models in Italy. They are used to dealing with small crowds. Udinese average around 20,000 people per game and they challenge for champions league football. They have the smallest budget in Italian football but like i say reguarly challenge for champions league football playing passing, attacking football. Granada have had loans from udinese with them for 3 or 4 years, but as the balance sheet isnt as healthy they are classed as loans. Like ares why put on the balance sheet we have signed 16 players and put us 30 or 40 million pound in the red when Udinese keep the cost and we keep an improving balance sheet. Good business sense to me. Against Bradford I saw a number of kids with tops with Vydra and 20 on the back! They are embracing the change as they are now seeing a positive, attacking and passing style that now wont get them laughed at at school! All the players been bought in are top quality who will get us all buzzin an give us such a good atmosphere!

What are these concerns you are so worried about? If they turn out to be average then we give them back with no cost or commitment.
We are talking about owners that have run successful football clubs for many years and a manager that would have graced any team in the world.

Most would be off in a flash for a better deal and I include most of ours in that expect maybe Doyley.
I see some are worried the youngsters won't get a chance but then Dyche hardly played them and the Under 18s were pretty awful last season only winning about 4 games.
The best players in Murray and Smith have been involved in the 1st team squad.
One thing I would say it that I hope Taylor doesn't go as ie one of the defenders who has ability on the ball.

As I have said before, DJ Watford is actually Bazzini!! The Pozzo family have been in charge of Udinese for 25 years. They are not here for the short term. Udinese pay a maximum wage of £45,000 per week. They do not spend beyond there means. They develop young potentional like we do. They sell that potential for multi millions. We used to sell for pennies, so its good that we now have some real negotiators in charge. Udinese are one of the only clubs in Italy to have a managable debt so much so that they could clear it outwright if needed. They have one of the best and most proved business models in Italy. They are used to dealing with small crowds. Udinese average around 20,000 people per game and they challenge for champions league football. They have the smallest budget in Italian football but like i say reguarly challenge for champions league football playing passing, attacking football. Granada have had loans from udinese with them for 3 or 4 years, but as the balance sheet isnt as healthy they are classed as loans. Like ares why put on the balance sheet we have signed 16 players and put us 30 or 40 million pound in the red when Udinese keep the cost and we keep an improving balance sheet. Good business sense to me. Against Bradford I saw a number of kids with tops with Vydra and 20 on the back! They are embracing the change as they are now seeing a positive, attacking and passing style that now wont get them laughed at at school! All the players been bought in are top quality who will get us all buzzin an give us such a good atmosphere!

I didn't realise I'd bought a ST to Udinese reserves.
I really disliked Bas but the Pozzos seem to be screwing us over a different way.
They've taken away the soul of my club in a matter of weeks.
I don't want this method of running a club to be successful and if it does fail we'll be left with no players and a debt the Pozzos have failed to state they will clear.

I just don't understand how people cans realise that the Pozzos own us, they also own Udinese, therefore any players playing for either club are theirs, when they get sold for big money it will only benefit both clubs along with Granada and themselves.

People are surprised why the crowds aren't coming back, why the Pozzzos have not captured the imagination.
I'll tell you why: as anyone without their head up theirars can see, this is no way to run a football club. No-one can keep up with the signings, (least of all Zola), none are from the area or even the country they will play in. None will be committed to the club, beyond putting themselves in the fabled 'shop window'.
I can remember when Watford wanted to be more than a shop window, when we wanted to be special, different, a unique place, a club with a soul.
Those days are long gone - and the men who are killing us are being hailed as saviours by their brain-dead cheerleaders on here.

I think the difference now is if Baz was still owner now we would have a team & at best we would have 10 point taken away.. This football team will always be ours.. Players, owners all come and go.. It's us the supporters who make Watford...
Personally I'm gutted my little Watford, who I have supported for 45 years has been decimated and the " good little old Watford is no more" but I'm clever enough to embrace progress and see this as " at least we still have our Watford " so lets make the most of this, Hypothetically in 2 years time if all these players turn out to be as good as we've seen with Abdi, Vydra, Pudil etc and the Pozzo plan works and brings Premiership footy back to the Horns, how many of the negative comment writers will decide to go, in my 45 years I have seen players come and go, I was mortified when we sold Billy Jennings to West Ham, nearly had a coronary when God GT left in 1987, but I'm still an ardent follower and will be for the rest of my days.
You could be a supporter of Portsmouth who have probably only 2 weeks of life left or be the team from near the M1 playing in that coloured square league.
Rumour has it that the Vic will be renamed Old Trafford 2, but we are watford, we are still here, so lets all jump on the latest reincarnation of the merry go round and enjoy it, The future's bright the futures Golden.....COYGB

What a joke.
I didn't realise I'd bought a ST to Udinese reserves.
I really disliked Bas but the Pozzos seem to be screwing us over a different way.
They've taken away the soul of my club in a matter of weeks.
I don't want this method of running a club to be successful and if it does fail we'll be left with no players and a debt the Pozzos have failed to state they will clear.

I have been a season ticket holder since 1970 when my dad first took me along to see the hornets - I used to stand on a box by the wall between the Shrodells stand and the Rookery watching us play the likes of Rochdale and Workington when we were scrapping it out at the bottom of the old 4th Division. There have been may ups and downs on the Watford FC roller coaster over the years. I think the takeover by the Pozzo's will turn out to be the start of a wonderful new era for our club.

How childish name calling and swearing at people who have a diferent opinion to your own. How ignorant not appreciating people can love Watford just as much but feel differently about what they are seeing. Thankfully despite their attitude no one has actually put the bully boys in charge - seriously who would?! - and they can f off themselves.
Financially with Udinese sharing wages and the club not shelling out on transfer fees WFC is not being put in jeapordy. This mass influx is just an attempt to fast track promotion but you cant get established in the Prem without a settled core so things will calm down if promotion happens with the same players if theyve done ok coming back on loan or being bought and staying at the club until sold on again for bigger money. There is always going to be some comings and goings thats the way it works, but not on this scale.
Flip side is that weve seen time and again clubs try and buy success and fail so trying to loan your way to the big time may not work either. such a large number of players means if one doesnt perform you move to the next but that doesnt encourage a successful team necessarily.
All these signings has also masked the fact weve still not heard much from the owners, management or even gfz about what happened/happening. Be good if gfz told us if these players are ones he's asked for and wanted or if he's been told to accept them.
Also there must be numerous rules surrounding multy club ownership both within football and maybe the financial world. What for instance happens if down the line both clubs meet in European competition?
Also as immigration rules apparently make it easier for Italian clubs to sign youngsters from outside the EU does that mean Udinese will remain the centre and preferred club for the scouting network or will wfc have equall access to scouted players?

If I was another fan looking from the outside I would take a quick dislike to Watford...but I'm not, so let's just all sit back and enjoy the ride. If it does all go wrong (having the reserves of 4th place Italian side does not mean we'll go up) we'll have that right to vent our spleen at the board for what it's worth.

Why do you seek out my posts? Obviously to get a response so you can go running to get me banned. Typical lefty liberal twaddle from you, and if you look it was Scully who sought confrontation as he does with my posts when he appears..
Like I've said I'll meet any one to give my view, and no that's not a threat, just comfortable.
So let's leave it at that, or I'll be in Walkabouts till two next home Saturday match

As to getting you banned wasnt me. Unlike you and your mates who tell everyone to f off i believe in free speach.
I will however have to inform Walkabout to look out for you before the next home game, they wont be happy about under age drinkers.

Ridiculous really can't see any Englishmen keeping their place except for Murray despite an excellent start from the likes of Taylor, Nos and hogg.
Hope rumours of tiny going to weds aren't true.
