Assuming he recovers his form - which seemed to drop after he clearly fell out with manager - he is guaranteed a regular start, and the adoration of Watford fans As Watford rejected higher bids a year ago, I can't see them accepting any now. They would need to find a replacement - they scored very few goals when Deeney wasn't playing.Furthermore, Watford would only have 75% of any fee because of sell-on clause I think he would prefer to start every week - which is unlikely to happen at Leicester (unless Slim is offloaded).. The answer to your first two bullets came from Geoff Peters a couple of days ago. The answer to your third is still simple - he'd start as often as anyone.

Signing new contracts mean nothing in regards to commitment these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a couple of Watford STH mates who would be happy to be shot of him. They've just signed the England U21 midfield and are feeling pretty happy with their lot...just like us...

TAFKA Castroneves Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 This is interesting on a level as it shows how Shakey is thinking - and how NP has influenced him during their time together over the years. NP loved signing players with character - and it turned out pretty well overall the last couple of years. I have no doubts in my mind that we as a club could bring the best out of Deeney in his later years, how this club works suits him and his personality. But, i'm unsure as to how this all happens unless we sell Slimani or Ulloa - or both? With Ulloa being offered a new deal i would lean more towards Slimani being the guy that would have to leave before this deal came off. While his name might not be much generally in our eyes - if we do end up needing another striker in a minute - i'm confident in Shakey to know what he's doing here and i think he'll do good!

Filberts lovechild Posted 6 July 2017 Share Posted 6 July 2017 Bet over the last 6 windows we've had more pages about Deeney than anyone before, Maynard included.

I get that people may not want him but using his weight as an excuse to not sign him is ridiculous. If you compared Big Waz to Vardy, then you would say he was fat too! Just because someone has a bigger frame, doesn't mean they are fat. But yes I would prefer younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merging Cultures Posted 6 July 2017 Share Posted 6 July 2017 Atletico Madrid to make a bid of GBP22m for Costa... Now, he is a complete muppet of a person, and could potentially upset the dressing room, but as a player I'd much prefer him to Deeney for GBP20m.
