We should win this, but Watford have an excellent new manager in Alessio Dionisi and more firepower up front with Iker Bravo.
In saying that our new recruits Lewis Dobbin and young gun Issa Tounkara are really exciting.
Parabéns Nestory!
Nestory Irankunda has completed a move to Portuguese giants Sporting CP from Watford for an undisclosed fee that reportedly breaks the transfer record for an Australian footballer.
Nestory Irankunda’s reported Sporting CP contract includes a HUGE release clause
Transfer Insider Rudy Galetti reports that Sporting have set an €80 million fee to free the Socceroos star from his deal with the Portuguese giants.
Bayern Munich will also retain a 10% of any future transfer.

Will Lankshear scored a second-half double for Middlesbrough as they fought back to beat Lincoln City 2-1 on what was the Imps' first game in England's second tier for 65 years.
Adam Reach had put the Imps ahead with a well-placed finish against the club where he started his career, while a string of fine saves from George Wickens kept the visitors ahead until Lankshear pounced in the 62nd minute.
The summer arrival from Tottenham did well to divert the ball home from close range for the leveller.
And the 21-year-old went on to make it three goals in his first two games for his new club, coming up with a stoppage-time winner having hit the post just minutes earlier.

Millwall got their Championship campaign off to an impressive start with a dominant 2-0 win at 10-man Bristol City.
Referee Lewis Smith was at the centre of the action in the first period as he booked Millwall's Josh Coburn for a dive rather than give a penalty before sending off Bristol City's Adam Randell for a second booking in the 36th minute.
With an extra player, Millwall struck as Coburn converted from close range shortly before the interval.
New Bristol City boss Michael Skubala's first league game at Ashton Gate got worse as Millwall commanded the second period. Coburn headed them further ahead before last season's beaten play-off semi-finalists hit the post and spurned a number of other good chances.

Ilias Chair scored twice as QPR tamed Portsmouth 3-1 to record only their second win at Fratton Park in 30 years.
The 28-year-old also assisted for QPR's third goal to show how much he was missed as Rangers' campaign unravelled in the second half of last season when he was out for four months with a calf problem.
Portsmouth have big hopes of progressing in their third season in the Championship and took a deserved lead through Terry Devlin's fantastic strike.
But QPR clinically punished them on the break as Chair netted his first goals since November either side of a strike by Koki Saito.
