The Duke Signs On

It wont come as a shock to many, but it has been confirmed that Watford have signed Nathan "The Duke" Ellington from West Bromwich Albion for 3.25 million squid. Breaking the club's record transfer along the way. This fee could rise to 4.25 million.

Ellington has a decent scoring record, 0.34 goals a game over his entire career. If he can get motivated and form a partnership with King then this is money very well spent. Rumour has it that he turned down a move to the Vic in January because we wouldn't break our wage structure. So the question is, did we break it or did The Duke get more desperate for first team football?

Lets hope this money spent shows the ambition of the club to the minority of ignorant fans who have been calling for Aidy's head. Hopefully it will have the same effect on Doris and will stay and fight for his place, which might leave us with a plan A and a plan B. Shock.
