Has Everton written all over it. We go for 2 types of player - under 25s with bags of potential or older experienced players for low fees. He's 27 and he won't go for £40m. If he has actual football ambitions, he'd take a wage cut with bonuses. If not, then he's not what we should be looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Zaha is one I go back and forth on. I can't work him out. The move to Man U was too early but he seems to put a shift in at Palace. He's had some good seasons there (10, 9, 7 goals in previous 3 with a bunch of assists) but he's pretty much the only attacking threat they have so he gets marked to buggery. I agree with others - put him in a team that has Vardy, Nacho, Madders and Perez - he'll be part of an attacking threat that causes defenders problems. But I'd want him to take a pay cut, especially if we've just put Madders on £110k per week. He has to WANT to be playing European football with us.

lgfualol Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 The Watford fans I have seen reckon Deeney isn't good enough for the championship anymore. I'd stay clear of him and Wilson, leave them to the relegation battlers, it is their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Shire Fox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 What is peoples obsession with Deeney? Hes shite! Immobile lump that has very little quality and isnt even rated by his own fans from a relegated club 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Deeney would be ok if we are planning on winning Man United levels of penalties, since taking penalties is pretty much all he can do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 For me the perfect window (never gonna happen), would be Tarkowski, Sarr, Benrahma, Buendia and I think we need an experienced head in midfield, someone who can run the show. I know people would have a go at me for this but I wouldn’t be against a Drinkwater loan. Knows the club, has a point to prove and probably has some regrets he wants to put to right. He wouldn’t be playing week in week out for sure but he’s certainly someone who would give you a 7/10 every game he played, which would be a useful addition to the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Deeney has been absolutely shit this season and he wasn't much better in the previous 2. I highly doubt we will sign him and thank God for that too. If Callum Wilson is available for 10m and is willing to come here, I'd snap that up for sure. He's on 60k a week though.

David Nugent is on a free too I get what you mean, though. Some Grit but also technically proficient. Doucoure has been mentioned which is a shout, but what about Etienne Capoue? Vastly experienced and has had a couple of really good seasons at Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is not a bad player but he's had some serious knee injuries too hasn't he? As you say, for £10m it's a no-brainer, much more and you'd say it's a big risk.

peach0000 Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Zaha has not been good enough this season 4 goals while playing every single game is trash. Barnes' output puts him to shame this season. Would be surprised if any club pays what palace want for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I mentioned two players from relegated sides, but you have to be careful getting players from those sides. They’ve been relegated for a reason. Doucoure to me just seems a player with a poor attitude. Evidently a talented player but you never know what you’re going to get week to week. I would definitely go for Capoue though, screams a Europa League player if I’ve ever heard one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 (edited) Doesn't Capoue play as a DM for Watford? https://www.premierleague.com/players/4843/Etienne-Capoue/stats?co=1&se=274 https://www.premierleague.com/players/20479/Wilfred-Ndidi/stats?co=1&se=274 Compare his defensive stats against Ndidis, it just shows what an absolute monster we've got at this club Capoue is better with the ball IMO, much better range of passing, would be a handy player to have.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Wouldn't touch any of Watford's players with a bloody bargepole bar Sarr and that'd have to be if the price was right (£15 million odd). A pretty sensible fan of their's was on Talksport before Sunday's games saying they've a fair few promising kids who they want in the side, genuinely didn't seem at all bothered about anyone leaving apart from Foster. Likewise, Norwich. They're catastrophically bad - signings like Buendia or Cantwell would add nothing to us, I don't think they're better than what we have. Max Aarons would probably be worth a punt, Jamal Lewis too, but they're full backs - we don't need full backs. David Brooks is the only player from the three that dropped that I think would really light up here and could go for Maguire type cash were we to ever move him on, and even he has a big question mark hovering over him. He's fantastic but seems to have the structural integrity of a bloody trifle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
