Jeremy enters the Hornets' nest

Jeremy Ngakia doesn't have much to thank his advisers for. He's now joined Watford, which is a downward move for him since the Hornets' relegation. It's all very odd, as in the five games he played for the Hammers he looked really impressive and showed no fear against teams like Liverpool and Arsenal. Next season he would have been in with a good chance of playing regularly. He looked a better defender than Ryan Fredericks and was being picked by Moyes ahead of Ben Johnson — and Pablo Zabaleta has now retired. While not even signing an extension to play until the end of this season deprived him of games too. After a solid season with West Ham next time round he would have been in a good position career-wise. As it is, his head was turned and he could be stuck in the Championship for several years.
