Watford eyeing boy wonder Bostock

It must be another slow weekend for the sports hacks at the People who reckon Watford "look likely" to sign Spurs enigma John Bostock on loan for the rest of the season.

Boy Wonder Bostock, who as a fresh faced 15 year old made his Palace debut against the Hornets, apparently wants to "test himself at Championship level" again and with Malky Mackay`s unrelenting, undying love of midfielders, well, it`s an obvious link isn`t it?!?

Because, when we are leaking goals at an alarming rate with a wilting defence and have no back-up strikers, a ball playing midfielder is exactly what we need in the middle of a 8-game 'without a win` mini crisis.

Admittedly, Bostock - he was wanted by Barcelona you know - has come back onto the radar of late (albeit in the footballing wilderness of League One with Brentford) after leaving the comfort of Simon Jordan`s arms for the bright lights of White Hart Lane too early in his career.

Hmmm forgetting his obvious talents for a minute, maybe Bostock might just be a good, short term influence at the club… to persuade a certain Scott Loach that the grass certainly isn`t that much greener sat on the bench in North London.
