A wildcard name, but something to think about ….
Troy Deeney is captain of Watford and might just be out of our price range.
But if we were willing to take a punt and go for it this boy would do more than replace Stokes; he could well be the next Gary Hooper.
Yes, he’s that good.
Deeney has a colourful background; he’s done time in the jail, for an assault in 2012.
I read his story recently and to say he’s matured and learned from the experience is an understatement. This is no Ched Evans with a complete lack of self awareness or even the slightest modicum of remorse. He was a first offender, he paid his debt and he’s matured into a very capable young leader on the pitch, as evidenced by the club making him captain.
He’s the same age as Rooney, and has scored as many goals – 115 in his career thus far, most of them in England and over 80 at Vicarage Road.
Would we get him if we went for him? He would cost us, and more than the other two combined … but he’s a proven player and he’s got a good head on his shoulders.
Worth a punt?
How about the Boyce fells at Ross County?
He is too One-footed and predictable for me….Taxi is waiting…..
Get in Rooney from Aberdeen, well worth a contract
Johnny Russell or Adam Rooney would do a great job for us!
