One-year Hornets deal for Powell

Watford have signed veteran left-back Chris Powell from Charlton after failing to prise former defender Paul Robinson from West Brom's grasp.
Hornets boss Adrian Boothroyd is desperate to bolster his rearguard ahead of the club's Premiership adventure - and last week tabled a £1.4million bid for Robinson.

The Baggies turned down the cash, though, and insisted he is integral to their plans for trying to secure immediate promotion back to the top tier.

So Boothroyd has turned his attention to 36-year-old Powell, who has been deemed surplus to requirements by new Addicks boss Iain Dowie.

Powell is believed to have agreed a one-year deal at Vicarage Road.

It is the second time Boothroyd has raided The Valley after he signed teenage defender Sheku Kamara - and he will now step up his efforts to recruit powerful centre-back Danny Shittu from QPR.

He ain't no Robbo, but I guess he is reliable...
He will add some useful experience to our younger players like Sir Les did last season I hope.

Looking forward to seeing how ?Watford get on next season. Good luck!!

Reliablility and experience is what he'll bring to the squad I imagine, a bit of stability along the back four to go with Malky.

I reckon Ferris Bueller could do better than CP.He was shown up the year before in the Prem. I dont like this signing much truth be told.

And are we still chasing the Hungarian Kranjci ? Dont know if Upjest (the old famous Upjest Doza) have finished their cup final yet .....

Some of the irons in the fire appear to have been quenched.

I haven't heard anything more on that one, but I'm sure AB has a few tricks up his sleeve.

There's a lot going on, all will be revealed soon I hope Including, my sources inform me, a major signing

Chris Powell doesn't sound too promissing but then neither did Marlon King so expect a suprise, I think he'll do ok.

Looks like Aidy's building from the back forward which is good news as I have reservations about Doyley also our midfield needs some one with a bit of creativity.

[Golden_Boy™]

A major signing eh....tell me more HC tell me more.

I agree we need a creative midfielder, Eagles was poor towards the end of last season.

[hornychihuahua]

I wish I knew but it's going to raise some eyebrows, thats all I know.

Pippo Galli is coming back

[MRMILLWALL]

He might be old but Powell is old school boys!!

He is & ultra reliable no frills full back.

Remember i said this he may well end up as your player of the year.

[ovechkin8]

Crumbs Mr.Millwall.I that case we might be having a very poor season .

Is this major signing a World Cup player ? I hope its Lionel Messi. ;D
