Sky Sports: Watford are lining up a loan move for Tottenham midfielder Tom Carroll. #watfordfc Do we really need him?
Zola probably thinks it journo speculation. http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/10607214.AUDIO__Zola_expects_Deeney_to_remain_at_Watford/
Sounds like the Mail have realised the attempts to derail us by erroneous reporting regarding loans etc has failed to stop out momentum so have decided to try and unsettle individual players instead by making up rumours. They just brought Soldado and why replace Defoe on the bench, a proven goalscorer in prem, with an unproven one? Doesn't make any sense and I would suggest they are a long way off our valuation of a player with 3 years on his contract and in top form.
We cannot afford to sell because: 1. He is our main goal scorer 2,.We have to keep up the required quota of British players. Anyway Spurs fans wouldn't want to buy a Championship striker with their millions from the Bale transfer...
With the rumoured size of that particular transfer, I'd hope at the very least that the Pozzos would hold out for a third of it minimum - if they decided to sell. Not that I'm saying he's worth that much - just that Bale isn't worth the figures being bandied around either so why settle for less...
Well we all know British players are over-priced hence clubs generally looking abroad. Saw this thread on the WFC forums regarding a young Polish player on trial. http://www.wfcforums.com/showthread.php?48822-Michaà âa-Gaà âeckiego&p=875164#post875164
I would not think he was up to that standard... and if they want him then the price from our side would have to be high
Deeney to Spurs being a bit more widely reported this morning, but still think its the usual press rubbish. I really dont want to lose TD at any price, if only because we have just named our new Guinea Pigs Zola and Deeney.
A good article here about Troy Deeney. http://sabotagetimes.com/reportage/watfords-troy-deeney-from-jailbird-to-team-talisman/?
Except that it is using his old name. In order to satisfy the prejudices of other fans he now wants to be known as Troydini.
I see that Leeds are interested in Udinese's Gabriel Torje - I wonder if they thought they'd get him for nothing? Marko will be spitting chips if they have to pay the 7 million Euros asking price....
Would be harsh to drop one of Abdi or McGugan and actually it could upset in a way seeing a Premier league loan player just come in and take their place whilst they are doing well.
Even better if he transfers to us first on an 'undisclosed' fee for us to then sell him for £5m to them!
