They say to never fall in love with a loan signing, but for Watford fans this is proving to be difficult in the case of Stephen Mfuni. He came to Vicarage Road at the end of January when the then head coach Javi Gracia was hoping for an experienced centre-back. Some Hornets fans believe he's the best loan signing they've ever had. He surely won't be at Vicarage Road next season as he's already proved he's more than capable at Championship level. The Premier League will enjoy him instead, with either City or another Premier League team, who should be jumping at the chance to take him on loan.
