Also definitely Webster over Konsa/Engels and perhaps Butland over Heaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d chip in with 10-12 goals I’m sure. No, he doesn't like us very much (see below) and the feeling is mutual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeney: 168 goals in 14 seasons (12 per season / 0.3 goals per game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Deeney? Seriously? Have people learned nothing from signing the likes of Richards and Lescott that time? He's 32 and a big lad (I don't mean fat, I mean a wider stronger shape than a standard footballer). He is liable to get injured more easily in the next few seasons as the body start its natural decline if he keeps up his all action style of play. Look at the footballers who prolonged their careers until their mid-30s and beyond. None of them had Deeney's shape or style of play. It would be an horrendous signing even without the fact that he hates the club with a passion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 30 minutes ago, Genie said: Why are penalties excluded? If we retain the most fouled player in the league next season then a good penalty taker would be a good thing wouldn’t it? Even excluding penalties that’s about 8 goals a season. He’d be top scorer for us with that, with penalties to go on top. Win win. As I said, I don’t expect the majority to be in the same page as me. I just thought for little financial risk an experienced striker in this league might be a useful addition on a short term deal. We hate him and he hates us. I couldn't think of a less likely transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I actually think Deeney seems like a funny bloke and quite enjoy his banter with our fans and team. But anyone trying to argue he scores enough goals is deluding themselves. And even arguing he puts in the effort and has the right attitude is a stretch these days - Watford fans hated him by the end of the season. No chance are we signing him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Bartosz Bialowski from Milwall or Marko Marosi from Coventry for example? Talk of Finnish keeper at Brescia, Jesse Joronen Good stopper, these clips rarely show keepers coming and collecting corners and crosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Okonokos Posted September 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Even if Deeney wasn't an absolute scumbag who hated us as much as we hate him, he's actually also a terrible player who is completely and utterly finished. He is slow, has the turning circle of an oil tanker, the first touch of a rapist and he can't even hold the ball up or win headers. When he played against us last at Villa park he didn't win a header against our centre backs all night long. He pretty much only scores penalties and every single one is a "smash it down the middle and hope for the best" type of penalty that is used by those with no footballing ability. He's awful. Awful, awful player. And his body is completely knackered. Edited September 10, 2020 by Okonokos 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This is petty and childish, but I genuinely wouldn't care if Deeney was the golden boot winner for 10 years running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
