In fairness to Britt, it wasn't his fault that we were daft enough to spend £15m on him.
At the same time, he should have been busting a gut every game when you take into consideration how much we bought him for, and the wages he was on. He would have games where you'd feel he'd put a shift in but it didn't happen consistently.
Reality is, he really didn't offer us much aside from goals, and his goalscoring record was half-decent at best.

From a Watford fans point of view it’s probably a very low risk gamble as he’s only there until the end of the season and has scored at this level before. Imagine he’ll be used as an option from the bench at first. Nothing really to lose and everything to gain, a bit like when we signed Watmore.

6 months with the option of a year.
If he does well, he'll probably be at Watford next season still.

He sent a decent enough message when he left

He 'laughed' because he was embarrassed. Dwight Gayle did the same when he missed chances at the time , but plenty on here wanted to sign him

Not selling Gestede to Leeds for £6m was the big one!
Could we have sold Britt Assombalonga?

Watford could have had him! Surely they could have squeezed him in as manager at some point.

The man is a footballing genius.
He has made a fortune out of the game without really doing anything.

He’s a low technical ability player. Replied on pace until his knee broke, then robbed a living after that with tap ins against Burton and Birmingham papering over the cracks of his anonymity against pretty much every top half team. Glad he’s gone to Watford, he’ll score 4 or 5 but ultimately make them less competitive in the big matches

Anyone who bought the carthorse that is Gestede off us for 6M after he tossed away his time picking up big bunce without playing surely wouldn't have had the nous to get their side up anyway, so buying him wouldn't have harmed their chances.

Why do you all waste your energy on that sorry sack of Shyte…..Jesus!
He’s a past it failed striker….just enjoy the ride and watch a couple of proper forwards in chuba and archer

Apart from the 2nd season with us where he scored 4 goals against top half teams you mean
He was garbage. Couldn't be arsed to tun, couldn't hit a barn door and thought it was funny to miss. We played with 9 players because of that other spud Watford later took a chance on.

I’m being a little flippant with top half. It’s top 6 in 48 games for us against top 6 sides he failed to score in 46 of those games, because he just doesn’t have the technical ability
