rjw63 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Well that story must be bullshit. Just this second heard Trog Deeney on WM Sport, who is considering signing a new deal because "bloose are moving in the right direction" Yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 They cant seriously be contemplating offering a new deal? He is fat slow and well past his best not to mention the injuries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I saw a list of players that they're losing in the summer, players out of contract, youngsters like Hall and Bellingham leaving, loanees returning to parent club, and so on, it was pretty much most of their squad, so can understand them trying to keep Deeney, apparently money wise he's on a surprisingly very small contract which he was able to accept because Watford gave him a very big pay-off when he left them, if he's willing to accept a similar deal to stay then probably makes sense from their point of view and probably from his, might as well stay at his own club as unlikely to get much else in the way of offers.

Chine Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I’ve went past Wasps training ground earlier and saw some of these mongrels out on the training pitch , gave me a thought regarding how much is this rental costing ? and who if anybody is paying? They’ve even got the cheek to put someone on the gate ! ( I know it’ll be a facility requirement) but who the hell is going to want to get in there and watch that shit !

useless Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Jobe signed a professional contract when he turned seventeen, so they will get a fee, but maximum allowed for that age is three years, and this summer one of those years will have expired, so I don't think they will get much for him, maybe a couple of million, which in fact is a lot for a player his age, but not some of the fees previously talked about of around ten million. Will be interesting to see if they can hang on to some of their highly rated U16s who will be first year scholars next season, Romelle Donavon and Trevan Sanusi, are the two that get talked about, and Tyrese Warmington is a England youth keeper; was looking on one of the threads on their forum and was suggested by someone that usually knows that their academy is in danger of losing it's Category 2 status because of lack of funding, was only last summer that it lost it's cateorgy 1 status.
