Can see that happening . What is anyone going to pay for someone 33 and out of contract next summer ?
We'll probably let him go on a free if he wants to move on, because the great service his has given this club has probably earned him the right to go gracefully. I don't think many, if any clubs in the PL or Championship would be willing to pay a fee for him, but someone might take a chance on him if he is a free agent. Therefore his pride might just make him go for it if someone was interested in signing him, even if it was on a lower wage than we are currently paying him. I think he has finally admitted to himself that his best days are behind him, so if we let him go on a free that could be a decent way of letting him leave with his head held high and give him a chance to play out his career at a relatively decent level. Whatever happens, thanks for the memories Troy you are a true WFC legend.
Try quoting the whole of my post #2172, and you will see I have addressed the question you have raised and why I think he might just go for it. I really do wish that people on here would not EDIT other peoples posts as it often presents a complete misrepresentation of what people have posted
"Could" leave "may" exit doesn't actually mean anything Or maybe a heads up to any interested parties that he is available, Birminum for example
I agree that quote you posted that was accredited to me does not make any sense, so why did you falsify it in my name and not use your own? You are just behaving like a child and being totally pathetic, I thought you were better than that
He was very good, then not so good, When he was good it was fun times. His attitude now does not mirror his ability. I have been drinking much wine in Salisbury.
His departure shouldn't just be a footnote consigned to The Transfer List. An absolute legend, as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for all that you did for Watford FC.
When my son was about six i took him to the open training at Vicarage Road. Troy was in the corner with a big crowd around him. My son had his picture and wanted it signed, Troy saw him and asked the adults and teens to step to one side to let him through to get his autograph. Later that season we were at Man City (in the cup I think) I took my son. We saw the team coach outside a hotel and while we were waiting the team came out. Troy saw my son, stopped, came over, shook his hand and asked how he was. I have always had great respect for Troy because of this. My son is now a season ticket holder despite living far from Watford. Troy is a good man and a club legend.
One of the few players I had the honor of speaking to. Good man, great family man and had a yellow heart. Yes we slagged him off for his weight issues and his lack of energy, but nobody can deny that Deeney in his prime was a special player. He wore that armband like a true captain and always tried to put Watford in the spotlight, be that good or bad. His equaliser against Wolves in the semis, his brilliant goal at West Ham, his penalty record and his massive goal haul over three seasons in the Championship. Lots to look back on with fondness. I wish him all the best at Birmingham, his boyhood club. He's well aware he is in the twilight of his playing days now, and I would rather he leaves now with some pride than being left to rot in the reserves or a fifth choice striker. For us it frees up a good bit of money, it also gives us good memories than concentrating on the bad. A club legend along side Mooney, Bisset and GT. All the best Troy and thank you for your time and commitment to the club.
Without a doubt one of the club's all time greats. Once the recent disappointments fade I think the vast majority will remember him very favorably, and rightly so. I really hope his finishes his career at the club he supports with a huge bang. Cheers, Troy. You did alright for us.
There have been better players to pull on the Watford jersey (which is not to say he was a bad player, he was certainly more than just a battering ram, which was a fact not always appreciated outside of Watford, and perhaps not appreciated by himself at times), but he's definitely the biggest legend to play for the club in my time. Wish him nothing but the best at Brum!
