I would love us to sign Troy Deeney but there's no way we'd offer him a 5-year deal.

God no. I know I said I wanted players but not Deeney. We need somebody with speed.

No, no and no again !!!!

Is he an improvement on Vokes or Barnes? Not sure, looked overweight and unfit on t'Turf last season.

We could then sell him on to Everton. :D

A five year deal until 35 years of age suggests we are looking at being in the Conference by 2023.

I like Deeney, and Dyche has wanted him at Burnley for a long time.

My concern is that he is another battering ram type and unless it's in addition to a Rodriguez type (i.e, someone with a bit of guile and creativity) I feel it's not going to make a sufficient change to our options.

It could of course though be as a replacement for Vokes who has been linked with a move and be in ADDITION to the continued hunt for Jay Rod.

4 strikers all the same, if we are in a game in which our direct style of play isn't working then our other strikers offer nothing different.

Not what we need at all right now. We're going to end up with a very old squad as well if we're not careful.

Well we had the third oldest squad on average last season and with West Brom(1st) going down and Brighton (2nd) signing young players I expect we will rank first this time.

After that performance you can see why we wanted Deeney, better than anything we have upfront. A hybrid of all our 3 fit strikers. Excellent cross for the first goal, some great pass and move and a very good finish for his goal.
