His record for Watford was poor before last season though, confidence is alot in football and that could go within a few bad games... Cameron Jerome had a wonder season at Brum.

Well, it's a hard one to assess unless you've watched him a hell of a lot.
People have fallen into the trap of having a pop at the likes of Rickie Lambert in the past.
I have liked what I've seen of him.
And he seems a strong guy who could play as a lone striker. And he comes across as a very bubbly, self-confident character which is always good.

He's a decent player in the league below but I reckon he doesn't have the pace or dynamism to make a difference at this level. It's a big jump and not everyone makes it. Think players like Chopra.

Am I the only one who thought this guy was Italian and called Troydini?

So he's a crook as well, if he's injury prone too he's nailed on to sign!

IF he did come good it would be a bargain and if not still some resale value.

Deeney has a much better chance of making it in the prem than Jordan Rhodes or Charlie Austin. His finishing might not be as good but he's more of an overall handful. He's a poor mans fuller really but he could still be a success in the prem considering he's only 25.

This must be a D list striker option surely? I for one wouldn't be particularly enthused by this one. Consistent for one season and a bit. Questionable personality? Served a recent hail term for affray.
Overall not sure we should be pinning our hopes on this guy.
As for Spurs interest that has to be a joke. I'm sure that signing will really want to make Bale stay at the club!

Is that what its come to? Taking risks on players because they are comparatively cheap? What happened to our brand new, forward thinking scouting department?

Quick answer no.How many goalscoring 25 year olds in the premier league at £5m? All others are by definition unproven in the PL. Not cheap but potentially value for money. There is a difference.

Sorry mate. Not having it and can see through this from a mile away. It might work but I don't think it will. What concerns me with our summer spending is the clear cost cutting and penny pinching. I'm all for trying to get value for money out the market and sell on value but sometimes you pay the going rate to get quality. Six years in and we're taking more cheap risks than we did with the likes of Kitson in season one? (He had at least scored goals in this league and looked dangerous at this level). If people want to get excited over it then fair enough but to me its just emperor's new clothes. After six years and a new scouting department, I'd hoped wed be better than panic buys like this.

Completely agree with this - we seem to be penny pinching to the extreme and shopping in the bargain basement area again... new season, new management, new structure, but nothing different

OK this one we can disagree on but there has been no indication that the money won't be there for the right player, PC said different and that a budget was agreed. I think it is Hughes being cautious and to be honest there hasn't been much movement all round, Rooney, Bale etc. Defoe has been a great player but is too old, we were the oldest average age side in the PL last year and need to address this. All transfers are a risk but we can't keep buying the likes of Crouch it makes no sense.

SL&P (@stokeloudproud) tweeted at 8:51pm - 14 Aug 13: fentonstokie @stokeash55 apb1979 According to one of our sources yes a different source is saying Hughes unsure Deeney is upto the task I wonder who he wants then. He better hurry up and make his mind up.
