A couple of seasons back I would've expected him to step up to a mid-table prem team like Southampton, West Ham or Everton. He was usually linked to some lower mid-table teams like Liverpool, but he had an ACL injury two seasons ago and he hasn't been able to regain a regular starting place since then.
Watford isn't a bad move for him if he wants to play more regularly. I'm mystified why the fee seems to have sunk so low. Yeah, he's had a forgettable season and has had a bad injury already in his young career, but there's usually a premium price tag added to these young English players.
We've been shit in the transfer market for a few years now, but I'd thought we'd started to get better at the dealings with Curtis Davies for £500k and Andre Wisdom for 2.5m.
