foxes_rule1978 Posted 9 June 2016 Author Share Posted 9 June 2016 If Vardy stays, he is worth the money but he isn't a replacement for Vardy that is for sure... he is a great partner for him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertstreet Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Weird though we'd be smashing our transfer record for Troy Deeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAnglianFox Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Prefer Deeney to either Musa or Slimani... He's proven in the PL. Pay the money they want for him. Yep!...But I'd also like Deeney with Slimani and Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 As mentioned. Great partner for vardy. Much better in the role just off him that Okazaki was. More goals. More assists. And as we saw last summer. If Everton can afford to turn down 50 million for a player then Watford aren't gonna bend over at the 1st offer. May need Deeney to kick up a little fuss. And if our scouts think he's the man. Then that's enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Deeney wants to join us, he wants to play in the CL. Just a matter of time before he puts in a transfer request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Deeney wants to join us, he wants to play in the CL. Just a matter of time before he puts in a transfer request. He might have a word internally but there is no way he puts in a request. Watford through and through he wouldn't want to disrespect the fans.

Max Power Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Finish at 2:57 is pure filth. Really want us to do this one. The fee is ludicrous but this is the world we live in (if there are no release clauses ofc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Boos Up Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Money is irrelevant, all prices are inflated this season for proven premier league players (unlike Mr £Kram) He has spent half the season talking about Leicester, not Watford. Remember Vardy's ban and how much we needed someone in the box who wouldn't fall over. He's no mercenary and is desperate to put on that blue shirt. I say let him, welcome him and sing songs about him. (plus Watford go down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinio'sCat Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Check this out. I'm not that sure on the source's quality, but this here says we bid 15 and went back with an improved offer of 20, and that he is our primary target http://www.wdsport.co.uk/2016/06/watford-stand-firm-amid-second-leicester-bid-for-deeney/ The more I think about this the more I like it, another captain with proven character and PL quality. If we are going to keep this going we need to back our current style. That means workrate, teamwork and commitment, our real star qualities as a team. Deeney would fit in immediately, and he is a really decent bloke. And remembering what he has said this season, he is right up for it, whatever Watford say. Be a tough one for him to push through tho, so it's very far from in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinio'sCat Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Even those who don't like the price have to admit he is a bit of a handful, and i'm sure he would he would improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 problem is it seems no premier club needs to sell anymore Not really as black and white as that. If Deeney knows a club playing in the Champions League is after him, he'll naturally have his head turned. Power these days lies with players in virtually all cases.

st albans fox Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 It's going to test his relationship with the club. It will be the only chance in his career that he gets to play in CL. It cannot see them accepting a bid below 30m. They may not even be tempted at that price. They, like all PL clubs just don't need the money. they need to feel the security that they won't be relegated and deeney provides them with that to a large extent. if deeney wants to come then he is going to have to put in a transfer request and say goodbye to any loyalty payment. I guess we will have to cover that as a signing on fee. if he puts in the request then I think a fee of 23 mill (inc add ons) might do it. A lot of dosh but if we have identified him as our primary target then so be it. Him putting in the request gets the owners off the hook with the fans. His relationship with the fans may just allow him to come here for that CL experience he wouldn't get otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole world smiles Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Why not first pay the £23m for Slimani or even Musa instead. I know Deeney would be a replacement for Okazaki but still... £20m for Deeney? My god... Mate we just won the league with a team of hard working pro's with the right attitude Deeney is a hard working pro with the right attitude (and no shortage of quality) we are in this position because we don't have any big names with big egos and because we signed players to fit our system. People who say they are underwhelmed can not of properly understood how we achieved what we achieved last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Bob Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 24 & 21 goals in his last two Championship seasons and 13 in his first season in the prem. By comparison Vardy got 4 & 16 in the Championship and then 5 in his first season in the prem. Deeney is 27, has potentially five years left at his peak as a proven premier league goal scorer. He's got the right kind of attitude and would fit well with our culture. Makes sense on all kinds of levels. £20m?A snip at this level. Gerrimin.

SecretPro Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 People moaning about Deeney need to pipe down. He's actually quality in a way that fits into our team like the missing piece of a jigsaw. He's a decent bloke to (inb4 happy slapper went to prison) and was the single best pundit on MOTD this year too. I'd snap hands off to have him here I genuinely would. Anyone that can't see the hard work, dedication and absolute beast of a player here needs to either go to specsavers or learn more about what makes a good footballer. I can only apologise that he's not got long hair and a foreign accent and doesn't dance around like a gazelle being chased by a cheetah but seriously, come on man, we are champions league man and Deeney can help us win it.

Brizzle Fox Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 Would be a great signing for us and would fit perfectly into our system and culture. Hark at all the football hipsters on here pretending they know anything at all about slimani and musa and how they would or would not be a success in the premier league. Have they learnt nothing from how we operate as a club. Clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everfox Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 I can genuinely see this one happening for 22ish million and I'd love it, Deeney is exactly the sort of player that would thrive in our system. His story is not to dissimilar from Vardy's in a sense that he has worked his way up from the bottom, he also seems like a model professional despite his stint in prison which seems to have rehabilitated him. I hope we sign him, I think we will sign him and I will be delighted when it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
