nettle Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 Makes me wonder if he's Vardy's replacement? I think you might be right they seem desperate to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 Ffs are we really going to spend £30M on Deeney? I get he fits the system and everything, but that's a **** ton of money and just encouraging other clubs to rip us off for players we want. If another club was bidding £15M on Deeney we'd all have a laugh. What the **** is happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I hope this is paper BS. This is equivalent to paying over the odds for Sterling/Carroll/Lambert/Akinbiyi. Please go get Slimani - please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthefox Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 When you consider that Darren Bent went for £24 million, i guess it's not a bad price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I would bet that it is nowhere near 30 million. I would also bet that the previous bids have been nowhere near there estimated levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I would bet that it is nowhere near 30 million. I would also bet that the previous bids have been nowhere near there estimated levels. It sounds like they were a 'package' with add-ons etc but it's still cray-cray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonfox1884 Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 It's not our money, chaps. £30million is very extravagant, but he's clearly been identified as someone who will fit into our system and improve it - and I agree with that. Besides, it'll probably be£20million odd with a f*** tone of add-ons anyway. The owners have the money, we really want the player, let's get him. Nobody will care how much he cost when he bags a hat-trick on his debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 certainly from a credible source there in John Percy, but £30mill on Deeney, while I rate him, i woudlnt pat £30mil for him, max £10mil this rate we'll be spending £100mil in the transfer window We could easily spend that if you look at income. Said it a month ago but didn't think we would. Profit the other year of £30m, another £60m extra this year plus the new TV contract serving up another £30m minimum this season.Quite possible we'd have £120m sat in the bank come end of next season if we spent nothing.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 @@aefevans I noticed you posted about what PL champions spend, well I did do a quick bit of research on this and this is the best result I could get. It's not specific to PL champions but it shows some in there who have won the title before and their spend overall in the last 5 years (depending when the article was written). http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premier-league-last-five-seasons/transfer-league-tables/premier-league-table-last-five-seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasmurf Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 Can't imagine he is on, or would demand, a massive salary so this should also be considered in addition to any transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozwin Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 It'll be full of add ons like someone's said already. Can't see us handing over more than £15M straight up. He'd be brilliant for us though, Champions League defenses aren't going to know what's hit them...or ran past them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john ridley Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 Should imagine the fee would be spread out over his 3 or 4 year contract, even though it's stupid money it's small compared to what staying in the premier gets you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think that would be the case. I'd imagine we'd ask for the entire fee (or at least the vast bulk of it) in one go. Otherwise I fail to see how we can bring in a like-for-like or someone better straight away if we're just given installments over the course of years. I know we'd still have £120m or whatever it is from TV money, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I rate Deeney, I really do, but I'm concerned at how we will evenly spread the cost through all the areas if the deal happens for that price. Not implying I don't trust our recruitment team, just worried we might be paying 30m for only one player in one area. Not expecting cheaper deals though as you have to pay for quality I suppose. Looking ahead, if Deeney were to score 20+ goals next season for us, surely his value will rise highly once again, perhaps up to 40m+ and then we will look back at this thinking Troy was a very worthwhile investment, it's possible.
