Just seen that.

What kinda reporter is he? Accurate?



this one is something anyone of our fans could write and it not be a sticky..


But they’re not respected journalists... a bit different.[/quote


you cant just keep sayiong respected when he has been wrong 100% of the time over 2 years mate...


Saying he’s been wrong 100% of the time is factually incorrect.

Would be really happy if that’s true.

Him and madine will have to room together. They’ll get on well given both have enjoyed time at her majesty’s pleasure. Bloody hell Warnock really is getting ready for a battle. Love it.

Overweight only comes on as a impact player now. Why would that help us?

Great signing and premiership experience and leadership to help our team.. 15m is fair in today's market. 3 good years at least at his age.

Lorente is quality. Might be 33 but would be massive competition for Kenny. Would he come given the JB connection though? Deeney is not dissimilar to Reid, he plays in a withdrawn role when I’ve seen him rather than a poacher or target man. Think wages for both could be an issue.


I don’t think playing for Swansea will matter, he probably didn’t even realise cardiff was a rival while he was there. Anyway not for me to old now we need someone for now and the future not just for now.

It's Troy Deeney according to Sun.

I’d go for Patrick Bamford, who apparently is going to Leeds for £10 million.

I’d agree with that Bobby and wages probably ££££££££

Championship proven not premiership. TD is proven

Still seems a lot for Deeney at 30

Behave.



Would be a good signing imo

Wages would be huge.



Would they? I’d be shocked if he was on more than 60k a week at Liverpool

Anyway looks like deemed, 15m a lot for a 30 year old but he’s a good player

Agreed. But don’t believe the Sun. Probably a lot less than £15m. Ronaldo he ain’t.

Still wanna know who the mystery midfielder is!?

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

Mon Jul 30, 2018 8:49 pm

Not sure on this one, Deeneys attitude is not the best, would he just sign for a pay cheque? Would he put in the graft we need to keep us in the prem? I’m not sure. Iv heard he can be a disruption to the dressing room. He hasn’t plenty of talent and goals tho as long as his heads on.

Can get Rondon for £16m! & Mousa of Leicester for a similar figure. Niasse on loan would be a decent signing or Hernandez.

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

Mon Jul 30, 2018 8:56 pm

2 ex cons upfront, should frighten the life out of Prem defenders.

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:05 pm

This is one time i hope that nixon is 100% wrong Deeney is past it now overweight and in decline, i just hope our Neil is not making a mistake on this one, £1m more and we could have Rodrigus

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

He's such a city player. Be well happy with him. Great fit.

I think this interview shows Deeney is exactly the right type of character for us and would be another leader in the dressing room. I would love it if we sign him!

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:13 pm

Majority on watford fans forum think he' s past his best been with them 7/8 seasons they also think 15 mill good buisness to buy a new younger striker.

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:17 pm

Happy if right, hope he scores the goals we need :thumbup: would like too see two or three more, though please to just be here... Fulham spent 60 million, think they will do more, but pleased to see this, hope we shock a few :bluescarf:

Makes me feel abit wary, Iv been out of this Signing so I hope it doesn’t come to fruit.

Re: UPDATED “ Cardiff City offer £15m for striker “

Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:24 pm

Got to say I think this would be a good signing even at £15m for a 30 year old.

He does perform at Prem level and to be able to alternate between him and Zohore would be a good mix.

The likelihood is that it’s probably only £15m if we stay up. If that happens then it’s all been worth it.

I’m not totally convinced this will happen but hope it does. Certainly less of a gamble than many of the names mentioned.

Good mates with NML as well, could be a coup for us, needs fresh start and what perfect way

I would take him if his heads on for one season.

Seems a lot of money for Deeney, I do like him as a player, honest, committed, no-nonsense approach but is he going to get us 15-20 goals???
