Glass Act

Stephen Glass is the next player to be heading to Vicarage Road. The Newcastle winger is set to sign a two-year deal tomorrow to join Ramon Vega as Vialli's summer spending takes off. This makes Glass the second Watford signing in as many weeks as transfer activity hots up in the Vic.

Glass has been left out in the cold at Newcastle and a move to Watford is seen as a fresh challenge to the Scotsman, both Elton John and Vialli were key players in bringing in the 25-year old.

Glass joined Newcastle from Aberdeen when Dalglish was in charge, since then he has only made 31 appearances in a Newcastle shirt and scored 5 goals. Stephen has good pace and technique and can cross accurately which makes him an excellent signing for the Hornets.

More Transfer Targets?

Watford have been linked with a couple of players recently. One being Patrice Carteron from St. Etienne, who is also currently being tracked by both Sunderland and Charlton. The Frenchman plays at right-back which would be ideal for GV with Neil Cox on the transfer list. Man Utd veteran, Denis Irwin has also been linked with Watford.

Also being watched is Wayne Turk of non-league Salisbury, he is aparently available on a nominal fee.

QPR get Jackett

Kenny Jackett has been appointed assistant manager at Queens Park Rangers by manager Ian Holloway. They appoint the former Watford man in an attempt to reverse their fortunes and head straight back up to the First Division following their relegation.

Vialli Targets More Top Players

Ramon Vega was the first signing but he certainly won't be the last this summer according to Vialli, he is searching for a new backbone in a new-look Watford team. He is on the look out for a new centre-back, midfielder and forward before his team takes shape.

GV is not only accomplishing this with his first signing he has also fired a warning shot across Watford's rivals bows, this shows the ambitions of the club, that they want to succeed at the highest level.
