HankMarvin Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Watford demand £35million for Troy Deeney, Watford will tell all suitors for Troy Deeney that they will have to pay £35million to get their man this summer. The 28-year-old is a target for West Bromwich Albion while Leicester City and Everton have also discussed the Birmingham-born striker. However, Sportsmail understands that Deeney has a clause in his contract that stipulates the club would allow him to leave but only once they receive a clear £25million, after sell-on percentages are taken into account. Deeney's former club Walsall are due a cut of any fee while the player is one year into a new five year contract. Deeney is understood to be concerned at how his season finished under Walter Mazzarri and, though the Italian coach is being replaced, the Watford forward is ready to look at a fresh challenge should it arise. Albion manager Tony Pulis has held talks with the club's Chinese owners about improving their budget, including wages but the price on Deeney may still prove too high. Pass
TheUltimateWinner Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Feel like we've waited too many seasons with deeney, I admire him as a player but no way is he worth 35 million.
Matt Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 I said no last summer, in hindsight I wish we had gone for him, £35m now? Certainly not. He doesn't even start for Watford does he? £35m for a player that doesn't even make Watford's starting 11?!! That said he's an improvement on Slimani and we threw £30m away on him...thing is he was never worth £30m in the first place, which leads me back to my first point, I wish we'd spent it on Deeney last summer if that was the choice.
lcfcsnow Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Slimani is better and believe it or not twice as mobile.

Deeney better than Slimani?
mullet Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 £35 million?? Apparently Leicester has slapped a £30 million price tag on Mharez!!!!! Lets see if rudkin sees sense ✊️?
M0901 Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Can't even get into Watford's team recently. He's a Slimani 2.0. No point.
lgfualol Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Watford fans saying he doesn't give a shit anymore and is overweight. No thanks.
Jaspa Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 You'd imagine him complimenting Vardy well, if he and we hit form he could be looking at an England place. Only issue really is Slimani and to a lesser extent Ulloa, we have big bustling Centre Forwards and one with a point to prove with Slim next year. I'd press around £25m but higher still seems crazy. West Brom have Rondon who'd similar and Everton Lukaku; although who could be leaving, would he be big enough to go in and fill those boots?
bridport007 Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Thought he looked overweight when he came on against us. Prefer to give Slimani another season personally.
Countryfox Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 I'd have him .... Then go all out for Keane .... Good business.
Countryfox Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Just now, buzzer_b said: Troy Deeney for £35 million!? Behave The way the price this season looks like peanuts next season is a good enough reason for me to focus on the player not the price .... Might be talking bolox .... Waits for answer ...

mozartfox Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 35 Million Baht?? A real snip gerrimin now! BTW - make that 65 Million big ones (UKP) for Mahrez going on that pricing model.

Slimani and Deeney (playing together) would be the first proper alternative choice to Vardy and Shinji that we have had. Sell Musa and Leo to recoup some of the money ... Good business.
AmarteyAndChill Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 We are already anti football enough. Can't think of anything worse than signing deeney and watching us lump balls up to him all the top along with the hoofs up field to Vardy. Rather have a clever, tricky CAM who will provide some flair and movement.
