I hope Leicester know what they are doing.. handing out 100k contracts. spending 30m on average players.. They'll burn through their cash and be stuck with a huge wage bill...

It is. If someone like Deeney goes for 40m what will Stones \ Barkley and the likes cost?
I think for the foreseeable future PL clubs will stop shopping from eachother, it is simply not sustainable. What will the foreign clubs think? The next time Leicester comes bargain bin shopping in France for some talent the French club will tell them to go feck themselves with the low bid and point to Deeney.
My lord
We all know English players bring inflated fees but that's just fecking insane.
Christ on a bike
Watford will reject it
Hmmm, Italy might actually suit his low tempo, stifling football. His insanity certainly suits.
Definitely still bitter about the 2013 play offs and want to see him rot in their reserves.
I'd say when they have been choking for a decade it's a fairly solid predictor, they don't fail to win leagues because they don't have talented players, it's the "4th is a title" mentality that Wenger has installed, and I know everyone worships Guardiola but I don't think it's a given that he'll come in and just immediately piss gold, he wont have the talent at his disposal that he had at Barca and Bayern for starters, nor will their be the training session 6-0 stroll outs in the PL. I think the league is wide open right now, with no clear favourites.
EPL clubs might have money but a market where Deeney costs £30m is unsustainable.
The money spent by the PL is going to be insane this summer
I swear Ranieri is doing it so that we can say after he's retired that he always got his man.
My lord
I wouldn't have even valued him at £10m. Is this all a joke and I'm missing the joke?
Santiago was right all along.
Now all he has to do is win a second UCL with them to go with his two world cups.
Don't know what's more ridiculous - the Deeney mindfeck or the notion that Arsenal are "clear favourites" for something.
£30m for Troy fecking Deeney
It's incredible.£30m for Troy fecking Deeney
In a world where Troy fkn Deeney is being bid on for £30m+, and Watford are turning it down (!) there's no wonder Juventus want €120m for Pogba.
The PL is destroying the market.
And also, what the fek are Leicester playing at? I thought they had incredible scouts finding gems all across the globe? surely they can find a better use for £30m than this!?
Just dwell on the fact that it could go higher, madness.£30m for Troy fecking Deeney
this just gets funnier by the day, will be £50mill next week for Deeney..
Even if this mad £30m Deeney transfer happens, Andy Carroll for £35m will still be the stupidest transfer in Premier League history.
Maybe I should send them my paypal address.
30mill for Troy Deeny.. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
I'm just wondering what it's like on the Leicester boards right now. Can't imagine they're jumping for joy over this!
Football is dead, something has to be done with the money involved it's getting out of hand.
I wouldn't even pay 5 million for Deeney, he's a average footballer
I'm just wondering what it's like on the Leicester boards right now. Can't imagine they're jumping for joy over this!
Imagine the shame of their accountant, forced to write a 30m cheque for Troy Deeney.
Is there something the rest of the world is missing here? How the feck is this gollum worth an arm and a leg?
If Troy Deeney is worth 30M£, let's just call Dortmund, offer 35 to 40M£ for Miki and get the transfer done with if we really are in for him. I am sure they'll sell at that price now, but if Deeney goes for 30M or more, they might ask 50 for Miki!!
PL transfers are gonna be crazy this season..

Evans was a better player than Rojo for us. Id say Blackett was a better comparison
He is a very good finisher, reliable, has a good amount of assists, is a workhorse (like most Leicester players), in his prime (28 this year)and is a leader. 30m is a lot but 15-20 would be fair I suppose.
Evans of 2012 was. Evans of last year was getting ripped by QPR and MK dons
Watford got £74.5m in prize money last season and with the team finishing bottom in 2016-17 apparently set to get over £100m, Premier League clubs can hold out for huge fees for their players from other interested PL clubs. Deeney isn't worth that much but Watford don't want to sell and can afford to hold out for huge fees for their captain and second highest scorer behind Ighalo.
Maybe so but Rojo was every bit absyml. Horrible season last season by him looked an utter excuse. Seen more graceful donkeys ride a bike than the way Rojo was on the ball.
Yeah he seems like one of those guys who's worth more to Watford than they might gain by selling him but Leicester raising the bids by the day is kind of strange given their strong scouting network. Surely they can find a viable alternative elsewhere for cheaper.
Not really rojo had a decent season last time mostly played at CB. This season he was third/fourth choice CB and second choice LB. He had played well enough to earn that
I read that as Liverpool rather than Leicester for Deeney, was about to spontaneously combust.
Yeah it's weird, all I can think of is they might be concerned about the number of home grown players they have (12). Though that said they signed Zieler who applies for it.
His head looks like you've taken two identical pictures of him and laid them on top of each other not quite perfectly.
