Troy Deeney

[Jaspa]

Its his birthday today oddly. Scored 28 goals in two seasons in the Premier League in an up and down side.

 

You can't imagine us having Vardy, Slimani and Deeney as it seems too much and you'd have to think Slim would be off. What I can imagine though is Deeney working well here especially with Vards, he'd add balance and if motivated can be a fantastic player. Not still worth 30mil though, have a nosey

[RoyFox]

Someone is punting 5/4 from 12/1 with Bet Victor in the last few hours. Personally think that ships sailed and Silva would keep him.

[jonthefox]

Still only 28 as well. I'm not sure if that's a Nigerian 28 (aka 39) or what.

[splinterdream]

If our coaches can get him back to his best he'd be an awesome signing, he has more pace than slim so I think will suit our style more. 

[Vindaloo FOX]

if Deeney sorts out his fitness it's a yes from me but i really do feel Slim will smash it next season for us . 

 

 

[Ric Flair]

Him and Vardy would work but I also think Slimani and Vardy will. If Deeney comes in then I'd like another younger finisher and Musa and Ulloa/Okazaki and Slimani gone. 

[Livid]

It's a no for me.

 

What and where do we aspire to be as a club ? Signing Deeney would say to me we don't aspire to much more than safe mid table.

 

If it came down to deadline day and Rudkin hadn't worked his magic I would grudgingly accept it. 

[Finnegan]

No ty.

[TrentFox]

Big yes from me - then sell Slim and Leo asap. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

No thanks 

 

unless cut price deal (say £5 mill?)

Put in a hell of a session at the gym today - his garms aren't up to much though.

You tease

[Raw Dykes]

I think we should be aiming higher, but I'm sure he'd be an improvement over Slimani.

Haha, I know his PT, I wouldn't get too excited. Velocity Training club.

[Buzzell]

He'd be decent if kept fit and healthy but knowing Watford they would want ridiculous money for him. £15m-£20m would be a more realistic fee rather than the £30m+ they were asking for him before. 

[SheppyFox]

Frontline of sheer thug life.

[Guest Col city fan]

A couple of seasons ago, yes for sure.

Now? Not sure. He's basically fat.

Probably true but I quite like the idea of us having a striker who gobbles up most headed chances, especially as we seem likely to lose Mahrez and his through balls.

 

With Deeney you also have to stomach (pardon the pun) the 5 games at the start of each season where he looks like he's eaten his strike partner.

 

If a swap is in the offing (and they never are in reality) we'd definitely be losing the better player overall, simply on the basis of Slimani's ability in the penalty area. He just might not be the better player for us.

 

I mean, can you imagine Deeney ever scoring 30 goals in the Portuguese league? No chance. But I suspect he'd be a better partner for Vardy.

Deeney and Slimani are different players. Deeney is more of a supporting striker. Slimani never has been that. Nor has Vardy and that is why I think they've often struggled together.

The issue we have with him, he isn't the supporting striker he's also a number, with a run in the side he'd get 15 goals in the league i'm sure of it. But he won't get that as Vards is the main man up there and I guess rightly so.

[Vindaloo FOX]

Shakespeare & Deeney can lose the fat together .

[BlueTillIDie]

Could fit in here however at the right price like £15 million!

[brucey]

He doesn't want to join us, and we don't want to sign him. Who's been throwing their money away?

[notnow john]

This is not a signing to help us progress.

[vanity]

He is a clear upgrade over Shinji. We can still play Slim plenty. One of the two starts, the other finishes, considering how demanding the secondary striker role is in the offense.This would be a no-brainer to me, he is an absolutely terrific fit that the staff has targeted repeatedly to replace Shinji over the years.
