Our Watford fans here in the Transfer Tavern are a little worried things could fall apart in 2017 so Tuttomercatoweb reporting their interest in Keisuke Honda has to be welcomed.
The Hornets had started this season pretty well under Walter Mazzarri and looked like they could spring a surprise or two in terms of where they finished.
In recent weeks, though, the wheels have fallen off and if they are to remain in the Premier League, they’ll need to address the slide now before things get serious.
It’s a similar story to last season and so Mazzarri will want to avoid following his predecessor Quique Sanchez Flores out of the door by signing some new players.
Certainly, Honda would be an intriguing prospect given his quality that he has shown over the years and could fancy a move with him barely featuring for AC Milan this season.
Our landlord thinks it could be a good deal, too, but only if the Japanese attacking midfielder puts the work in with many of the Hornets players looking like they are just going through the motions right now.
Thoughts on this one, Watford fans? Let us know below!
