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

I think ar5e and Burton's window come to mind...

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

Won't he make a good partner for Crouch?

No, no and no again !!!!

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

Bertie bee came to mind if I'm honest.

more importantly, that new watford kit is a beauty.

They will probably throw Andre Gray in for free as well !!!

We could then sell him on to Everton.

Got to be someone extracting the urine with this

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.

Bid rejected

Our transfer policy seems to be going from strange, to bizarre to bat**** mental.

Thank the lord!! Not the type of player or person we need. Ashley Barnes is a lovable rogue, Troy Deeney is just a ****!

Fat useless knobhead thug.

April the first, or a parallel universe?

Not the bloke himself, but FIVE YEARS?

Im not telling lies though am i?

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.

It would be more believable had it been 2-3 years. But 5!?

I prefer this to radio silence. This...this is exciting!

It is HITC

Watford local paper reported the bid and it being rejected

Not better than Barnes.

Simple as that really

Struck me as being overweight at Watford last season

Good. Let's hope that's the end of it.

Been a good player down the years. 2 years, maybe, but.... 5 years FFS?!

Sounds like BS. Let's hope Grumps is right.

My gob would be well and truly smacked of this proved to be true.

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.

Remember when we used to sign young players ? No, neither do I.

Yeah, because our squad is ancient!

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.

And it proved to be a disaster

Beginning to look like will will sign anyone known to Mr D, no matter what.

I'm not giving my opinion on it, just stating that we probably have the oldest squad.

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.
