Yeh people said that about Slimani but we just ended up playing hoofball and cutting out the pace, which was our biggest strength. I'm fed up of us spending money on players that don't suit our style and have no long term potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 4 July 2017 Share Posted 4 July 2017 15 minutes ago, Babylon said: Clearly the club don't care and the owners are happy to just write the money off. I don't think it's a particularly brilliant plan... but it's their money I suppose. I'm sure they are aware they are effectively writing a cheque for £35m they will never see again for him and Iborra. Unless you're prepared to invest your own money like Sheikh Mansour of Man City then that policy ends in tears. As a club we can't afford to spend £70m on players in their late 20's like Slimani, Deeney and Iborra and not get a fee back especially as these sort of players don't take you to the next level but keep you in the division. I'd much rather see us spend £30m on a 22 year old who we might sell for £10m or £50m two or three years down the line. I get the impression our important people are like a chimps tea party with their decision making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 4 July 2017 Share Posted 4 July 2017 A fit Deeney is a good player always rated him he's also another leader who can play most games without being injured for half the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind him but not at that price. He regressed last year in his performances and got a year older. The only thing that failed to regress is his price, I bet the Pozzo mob can't believe their luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they think staying in the league pays for it. Forget the next level stuff. Their first goal was to establish ourselves first and foremost. Last seasons giant feck up shows we haven't done that yet, the title was a freak. I think we need a rock solid comfortable as hell season before they start looking up.

Vardy has only been playing professionally for 5 years so I'm pretty confident his legs will hold for a couple of years more at least. And Deeney relies on his strength and power which age won't affect. I think if we can get two seasons out of them and they can hit 50-60 goals in those two years between them then £25m will be money well spent!

SheppyFox Posted 4 July 2017 Share Posted 4 July 2017 While this offer was rejected out of hand, sources have suggested that an increased bid in the region of £25 million would see the Hornets board take the sale of Deeney into genuine consideration.

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 4 July 2017 Share Posted 4 July 2017 What 29yolds should we spending £25m on? Not many and certainly not this one. With his build there will be no longevity in his career, in fact it looked like it was over, as he was over the hill last season. Surely we would be better giving Man City an extra £5m for a young Iheanacho rather than going for this this lump of lard? If this is true, you have to question the decision maker. Shakey said he had targets ready to go - it's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 4 July 2017 Share Posted 4 July 2017 Think I'd entertain this if we sold Okazaki and Leo and brought in a younger player as well. Their fees would pay for most of Deeney and we blow our load on a prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
