Watford manager Marco Silva admits last week of summer transfer window was 'not the best for us'

Watford manager Marco Silva has vented his frustrations at the club's dealings in the final week of the transfer window.

Winger Nordin Amrabat joined Spanish club Leganes on a season-long loan in the closing hours before the deadline, and against Silva's wishes.

Despite starting Watford's opening three games of the campaign - indeed the Morocco international had been included in Silva's 25-man Premier League squad - Amrabat followed goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon in a deadline-day move to Spain after the goalkeeper joined Deportivo La Coruna on loan.

'Now the market is closed, I don't want to talk much about it, but first, I'm clear with you, the last week was not the best for us in the market,' Silva said.
