Matt Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Do we buy the rights to Deeney Day© with the player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 This makes me look forward to the day where we can rip someone off for an average player. I thought selling Nuge for £4m was good business, but reckon if he stayed we could have got £10m+ this Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 First I've heard of that one. You get a whoooosshh as it went over your head. Sorry did not realize we could joke hence the lol But the rest I have heard is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Do we buy the rights to Deeney Day© with the player? The stumbling block is they want to keep them as it is the greatest day ever for Watford. But we want it removed from history. Rumour has it if they keep Deeney day we only have to pay them 50 quid. Our owners told em to fvck off. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Worrying thing is the wages we would have to pay for a man that cost 3 times our record signing, they know the figures being talked about for Vardy and Mahrez etc so unless the agent is shit, Deeney should be looking at a similar figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Couldn't agree more! I genuinely can't think of another player who'd be more likely to improve last season's team than Deeney. Pinch yourselves, that was a title winning team. We'd be better if we added Deeney, which for the Champions and CL competitors should be enough, shouldn't it? I also share the poster's belief that we could have another very special season if we sign Deeney- and keep our 'big three'! What we've done is something that other clubs have been searchinng for for years. Man Utd found it under Ferguson all those years ago. That something is the perfect formula for success. Owners, backroom staff, management, playing staff. Now that we've found that formula, all we need to do, is enhance and repeat. The cost is meaningless because of the wealth of the owners and the tv and prize money we'll now get. Deeney enhances the formula so £30m buys you that enhancement. We need to stop looking at the name of a player, rather the skill set he brings. Deeney is Okazaki but with greater physical attributes. Its as simple as that. Just as Keane is a younger Morgan and Dunk is a younger Huth. The formula stays the same, you just look for the same skills to match the formula and hopefully enhance them with additional attributes or a younger age. All this talk of £30m being too much for Deeney is now irrelevant. He upgrades the team. Case closed. Let Arsenal or whoever buy someone else for £10m that people would see as better business. They'll still ultimately fail as their overall model is wrong whereas ours is right. We'll win something else next year and this talk of overspending will be long forgotten.

Great Boos Up Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Worrying thing is the wages we would have to pay for a man that cost 3 times our record signing, they know the figures being talked about for Vardy and Mahrez etc so unless the agent is shit, Deeney should be looking at a similar figure Spot on. Pay the transfer fee, it's staggered and there are ways to offset outgoings v assets. IE; one 30 mill player and one free transfer = 30mill sell on for both. Wages however are taxed and must be documented for all to see. 11 players on 100K a week is a set 60million p.a. and that's just basic pay without the bonuses. The worrying thing is wages because we will be monitored on the Premier League short term financial controls and as we all know high wages and looming relegation = administration. Solution; don't get relegated. Accumulation; keep Champions League and do what the fvck you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure exactly how much Troy is on, but he is the highest-paid player in the Pozzo empire (including Udinese). I'd say 30k is a decent guess, but that's all it is. Interestingly, Di Natale was formerly the highest player at Udinese, and that was only on the equivalent of about 10k a week. Unfortunately you can't be competitive in the Premier League for that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeropars Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Wages, incentives and increases are not proportioned to a transfer fee in the slightest. I know this for absolute fact. If anything is proportioned it would be a signing on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Some reports that Watford wouldn't sell even if we bid 100m! Hahaha.. Let's be cheeky and try 90m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 Time to move on. He's far more valuable to Watford than he ever would be to us and he isn't going to hand in a transfer request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manini Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 With the new TV money though, Watford don't really have to sell. Everyone in the league is wadded this year. To be honest I couldn't be less arsed. I'm not the one paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
