Summer Transfer Window 2017

Troy Deeney sounds like it should be the name of a boxer from the Rocky films.

 

[MikeH72]

He played 37 games for Watford this year mate, im not talking about being a replacement for Lukaku but say for Kone or Valencia as i said he can also play deep as a support striker like he did with Ighalo.

We definitely dont need another support/striker capable of double figures in PL goals, do we?

He is also a beast and gets through some yard work.

They love him at Watford.

They love the Clev as well to be fair.

These are not the droids you are looking for. lol

 

[sageyefc]

Deeney and Niang ffs

Weren't you the one saying yesterday that if Alcaraz hadn't played against Kiev we'd have won the Europa League?

Bolasie was playing well and had done just fine.

You just refused to accept that your pre-conceived opinions of him were off the mark (not entirely of course - and he had/has a lot of areas to improve on).

Anyway, it's academical at the end of the day - we'll never know.

Nope not me, Alcaraz was mince but there was plenty of other dross in that side.

Your right that I haven't changed my opinion of Bolasie, nothing he has done with us has given me cause to (in fact he always played well against us for Palace and hasn't matched those sort of performances since he's been with us). He is never a £20m+ player even in today's bonkers market.

Where you are right is neither of us could possibly know what would have happened but that harms your point as much as mine.

Thought Bolaise was doing just fine before the injury if I'm being honest.

 

[windymiller]

What an utter load of tosh!

We picked up a lot more points with him out of the team than with him in it. If you would like to explain how we were better with him playing in the face of evidence to the contrary then I'm all ears.

He was. We could have done with him towards the end of the season to play that left wing role rather than shoe horning Calvert-Lewin in.

 

[DanB90]

Kenwright drove South in an old Cortina, brought me back a Deeney and Martina.

 

[windymiller]

Get in the bin

Well considered argument.

 

[Azzurri]

Troy Deeney has scored 10 goals in 40 games this season and is also linked with West Brom, Leeds and Birmingham. Absolutely not a chance we'll sign him. We haven't got enough material for his XXXXXL shorts anyway.

 

[Bob Elstone]

I don't understand the bolaise hate.

The bloke can change a game and has pace.

Deserves more credit and was very unlucky.

 

[Hogwild]

The team folks seem to want:
Pickford
Trippier, Keane, VVD, Baines
Gueye, Gylfi, Morgan
Barkley, Rom, Sandro

The team folks seem to fear:
Begovic
Martina, Williams, Jags, Baines
Gueye, Rooney, Morgan
Niang, Deeney, Mirallas

Cool your jets lads. Actual end product will be somewhere in between. Won't be what we want, but also won't be what we fear.

Buckle up and enjoy the roller coaster.

Deeney to WBA seems a reasonable story. That said Ronnie (Ronald Koeman) has a job on this summer as he faces losing his main creative and his only goalscorer while rebuilding a squad for a 60 game season from one built for a 40 game season. While he may have the latitude to splash out on a few eye catching continental names, they are a gamble in the EPL. Likely some of the signings will be more of the Ashley Williams ilk. He cant gamble on 6-7 possibles - he has to have 3-4 certain to do ok types. It is ok to rely on the youf to some extent but they fall into the gamble rather than the certainty bucket as well. So don't be surprised at the occasional Cuckoo Martini as we may need them for the away leg at Tractor manufacturers of Ukraine.

Plus he's been asked by the Board to make a net £30m profit to start the new stadium project.
