Troy Deeney - Family Man

Hmmm, he was sent to jail for kicking a student in the head?

and spoke plenty about the before and after the incident, in terms of what he was like, what was happening in his life at the time and what he’s like now. You’ve made a bit of a leap.

I haven't made any sort of leap, as I haven't stated he has done anything. I simply questioned the statement from a poster claiming he's never done anything in his life to make you believe he could be violent in his home.
 
He did an interview with Louis Theroux over the lockdown on BBC radio where I thought he came across well. He had a seriously mad upbringing.

Yeah, was a great interview.

This thread is bitter.
 
Arsenal fans need to let it go, still bitter that he had the nerve to say about their team what Arsenal fans themselves were saying anyway.

Think it was the complete rolling over to City the week after and getting his belly tickled instead of displaying "cojones".

Rule 1: only talk smack if you can back it up.
 
Deeney is an absolute beast when he’s fully fit, which he has not been all season. He’s been carrying Watford for too long now. A bigger club and a reduced schedule may be best for him at this stage.

He could do the Ighalo job no problem, and much cheaper. He’s like a bull in a china shop when you need some feathers ruffled on the opposition.

Oh, and he’s Birmingham fan too, and hates Villa
 
I think he was verging on the most overrated player in the league the last few seasons. He is talked about as some sort of asset, probably because he is English and outspoken, but his lack of mobility was doing Watford no favors.

The vast majority of his goals are penalties and apart from being “strong”, he offers little else.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for how he has turned his life around from such tough beginnings and made a great career for himself, but I would be seriously dismayed if I was a PL team considering him as a genuine option this summer.

A bit silly, it sounds like to you are talking on behalf of only the top clubs in the league. There are in fact 20 clubs in total and a few of them could easily benefit from having Deeney in their squad. Look at Villa last season when their record buy Wesley got injured (on top of not being very good), they got some new guy from Belgium and he didn’t score a single goal. And has he aptly put it himself, Joelinton and Haller were absolutely dire, no chance he does a worse job than them last season. Not saying he is a top player, nobody ever did, but we have bloody Ighalo in our squad, not much between those two either.

I wouldn’t have Ighalo in our squad to begin with, and I am absolutely speaking with every club in mind. I can’t think of one club where he would make a massive difference. As bad as Villa have been, they are much smarter getting in someone like Callum Wilson (as they are in the process of doing). He is twice the player Deeney is and offers goals from open play, much more ability and athleticism and is a better all round footballer too.

Choosing two expensive flops doesn’t make him any better. He scored 10 goals last season, but half were penalties. I watched quite a few Watford games and he is so slow and plodding. He doesn’t even really look fit.

West Ham had Antonio playing a similar role after the break and he looked far better doing it than Deeney. If I was supporting Villa, West Ham or Newcastle, I would be gutted if Deeney was our summer CF signing. Those teams expect more too.
 
If x was eating horse shit, would you too? Should be the new "if X jumped off a cliff, would you too?"
 



For reference, this isnt something he came up with himself, Hafthor Bjornsson spoke about this in a ESPN interview a few years back along the lines "I'd eat shit if it could make me stronger"

I absolutely hate his name though. Troy Deeney. I read it as "Troydini" and I'm absolutely annoyed with how it sounds.
 
Given the latest trend on here and the start of this thread, not the bump I expected.
 
He's everywhere. Loves himself a bit. Cheated on his wife with his new girlfriend too didn't he?
 
"I want to be a manager and to go as high as I can,” Deeney, now 35, says. “The ultimate is to be an international manager – whether that is England, Brazil. Whether you can get there is a different thing. But you don’t want to say, ‘you know what? My ceiling is League Two’. That’s the aim and I want to put those hard yards in to understand it"

I mean if you read what he says it's not that outlandish to have a big goal whether he gets there or not is another thing.

The ultimate in management is not International football. Is he mad?

His real dream is to manage Watford and become their longest serving manager.
 
He was on Mastermind last night, scored 0 on his specialist subject the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. :lol:

Don’t think he’ll last long as a manager if this how he speaks about his players in public.

Sounds like the perfect Manchester United manager. The posters here would be salivating to every interview. That's what you call a real manager.
 
It's not about the message, it's the way you say it. You, lovable SOB.
