penguin Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 We seem to be the lazy option for journalists now regarding forwards, much like spurs and midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Penguin,according to Legend;s logic,you must be a Small Heath fan,because they are also called "Penguin's" I thought they were just called "clearings in the woods"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted April 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2014 I remember him being the stand out player in what was in truth a pretty poor Watford performance in the Play Offs against C. Palace last year. He showed a bit of quality. That said I can't see us stumping up 8mil for him, think what 8mil could buy in a non-British player (there does seem to be quite a premium on young British talent).

shaggy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 However if we a going for a striker I'd sell Gabby and replace him with Jordan Rhodes. Who cost 8m when Blackburn bought him and has banged in tonnes of goals since? With the sale of Agbonlahor how much do you think we would have to pay on top of that which was my point.

Brumstopdogs Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 He's a Bluenose from Chelmsley Wood, though he did used to play for us. He doesn't sound very bright then - maybe we should look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Could be the new Beckford, too good for the championship, but not good enough for the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 the big marquee signing for the new owners. a thug I'm confused are we supposed to: - Write off players before they sign - Write off owners before they're even at the club and on speculative stories - Criticise people we don't even know I can't say I'm in. well im sure the law has already labeled him a thug for beating up a student. why don't we sign Lee Bowyer or Marlon King as well. don't care how good he is I wouldn't want him near the club A Championship footballer who attacked a group of students in Birmingham has been jailed for 10 months. Watford FC striker Troy Deeney, 23, was recorded by CCTV cameras kicking one of the victims in the head. One man suffered a broken jaw and another required 20 stitches as a result of the brawl in Broad Street. Deeney, of Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, admitted affray and was sentenced along with three other men at Birmingham Crown Court. They included Deeney's younger brother Ellis, 21, of Polar Avenue, Chelmsley Wood; Oliver Brennan, 20, from Hazel Croft, Chelmsley Wood; and 26-year-old Marc Williams, of Stonebridge Crescent in Kingshurst. They had all pleaded guilty to affray. 'Defenceless students' Judge David Tomlinson said CCTV footage of the attack, which happened close to the Bliss nightclub on 29 February, showed the roles of Troy Deeney and Brennan were more serious than the other defendants. In the 30-second video clip, the pair could be seen kicking out at the "defenceless" students, one of whom received repeated blows to the head as he lay injured on the ground. The judge told the defendants: "Three men in particular were singled out for what can only be described as a gratuitous beating. "All four of you to a greater or lesser degree joined in but the effect of it was that these three men, who were already heavily outnumbered, became even more so as a result of what you all did. "At least one kicked a man while he was already on the ground and very probably had already suffered a really serious injury." Prosecutor David Lees said one student, who had suffered a broken jaw, might require plastic surgery because of the scars on his face and continued to suffer from flashbacks. Brennan was handed an eight-month sentence in a young offenders institution. Williams and Ellis Deeney were given eight-month prison sentences, suspended for 18 months. Troy Deeney, who was released by Aston Villa as a youngster, joined Watford from Walsall in August 2010 for an initial fee of £500,000. In March he was given a 12-month extension to his contract and finished last season with 12 goals. Watford FC said in a statement it was aware of the forward's sentence and would issue a full statement in "the next few days". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 We won't sign him, but if we were to sign a little shit who kicks people in the head while they're on the floor, my season ticket would be finding its way back to Villa Park without me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I don't think our legal system puts labels on people like that. Furthermore, his stint inside seems to have done him the world of good in terms of getting his career back on track. Maybe he's changed? Or are people not allowed to change?

AntrimBlack Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 In my opinion, kicking someone in the head is not something you grow out of. You might like to think that a person will change, but if that behaviour is in you, it will never leave you. None of the posters on this site, I suspect, would ever dream of kicking someone in the head when they are already down, as that is unacceptable behaviour by any decent standard. I have no objection to a player with a bit of aggression, but that is the sort of thuggish behaviour we do not need in our club. Having said that, I pay little attention to links to players - journalists have to fill their pages somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, now I've got that stupid piracy advert stuck in my head. "You wouldn't molest a dog." "You wouldn't watch a lady pooping" "You wouldn't have sex with a vacuum cleaner." "You wouldn't honeytrap the romantically downtrodden" "You wouldn't pose as an Olympic snowboarder" "Off Topic... it's a crime" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Most of you guys in on topic, never come to off topic and saw the confessions thread, so you don't know about your fellow Villa fans. Deeney would suit the club well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
