Maybe missed something but where did it say we were after him?

Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP

Forestieri move up in the air amid signs that the striker is reluctant to join Leeds: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... -1-7424610 … #lufc

The player apparently wants to stay down here. It sounds like if we are interested then we're heading the pack (atm).

3m for a player who's scored 18 goals in 75 games. Leeds are mad.

Just had a call at work from a Mr Fernando, booked him in to see a lovely 2 bed semi on Chagford Rd, only thing im not sure about is whether he will be ok with a single skinned downstairs bathroom.

Could be a coincidence, will keep you all upd8ed.

@PhilHayYEP: Forestieri - clearly reluctant to join and Leeds seem to be conceding tonight that the move's unlikely to happen. Won't flog this endlessly.

Local BBC journo up at Leeds seems to think we're in the running to sign him as well.

From what i'd gathered from the Leeds news, it seems as if Watford weren't keen on loaning him out and preferred to sell. If so, not sure if he's worth the £3-4m that Leeds supposedly agreed. Interesting to see if we were to bid that much.

Thought he was more of an attacking mid than a striker? Someone to play off Sa perhaps?

This. If he is then his goal return goes from meh to really actually quite good.

he didn't go for it in the end, he wasn't keen on the surrounding roads, especially Merton Road South. Going to try and get him to view one on Blandford Rd.

My Watford supporting mate says this about him:

One of the most talented players I've seen in a watford shirt. But literally a child - can go missing, dive, make the wrong call. When he's on song best player in our team
Can play as either (cam or striker)- tiny bloke though so I think he's best in a front two or with close support. Does chip in with defensive stuff (though will always get booked) and can spot a pass, so doesn't have to be right up top. Basically if your team can carry a liability game-winner you'd really enjoy him

We're already carrying a couple of liabilities, so as long as we swap one out for him, that's an improvement some of the time.

Looks like all our targets are falling away. Chalobah, Beric and this guy. Could be a very disappointing end of transfer period!
