Brazilian Hornet Released
By: James | July 18th, 2008Watford midfielder Douglas Rinaldi has been released from the Vicarage Road club after his contract was terminated due to mutual concent.
The Brazilian central midfielder found appearances hard to come by and found himselves in the reserves for the best part of the 2007 / 2008 season. The only contribution he made to the first team was appearances in both carling cup matches against Gillingham and Southend United.
Rinaldi came to Watford on a 6 month loan which was made permanant after impressive displays against Spurs, Chelsea and Blackburn. He netted the only Watford goal on the 3-1 defeat to Blackburnat Ewood Park, just a few days before the 1-1 draw with Manchester City relegated Watford back to the Championship.
In my opinion, it is a mistake letting Rinaldi go. He has proven talent at Premiership level but just didn’t get the chance to play or even make the subs bench last term. I feel he should of been given the chance under Boothroyd’s new style of play that he’s bringing in for next season and if he didnt take off then either, fair enough.
I’m also unsure why he was released. Clubs as big as Birmingham are chasing the creationist as would most likly be willing to pay a decent amout. Why wasnt he transfer listed and later released when there was no luck? I wouldnt mind a word or two with Mr. Boothroyd over this one.
