    I don't really care what Troy says - his lazy attitude on the pitch stinks and he's a waste of a big salary. This is also even before I get on to his recent injury issues and ugly loss of discipline with Joe Allen for the red card.

    Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Deeney doesn't want a decent money move as he might be expected to actually get his ass in gear, whereas now he's still living off of his former Championship glory days.

    What ever happens, Troy will always be a Watford legend. I can’t believe some of the stick he’s getting

    Saying he isn't good enough anymore isn't stick. The fact that Silva has implied he wants a target man next month tells you everything you need to know about Troy's performances this season.

    Thought he said he wants a forward capable of unpicking a defence sitting back. As far from a target man as is imagineable no?

    So will Cliff Holton, but it doesn't mean he is good enough to play for us now.

    Having said that, he may actually be more mobile than Troy is at the moment.

    Deeney can do sweet nothing for the next 4/5 years, retire here and he'll still be a legend and one of my all time favourite Watford players.

    Racist.

    Indubitably though you are correct....I even did a quick scour of likely sources I may have heard that after posting because honestly, I had no clue. That said, I have never, ever heard from anywhere Silva is looking for a target man.

    ...and just as I was about to submit this post I had a sudden déj* vue moment and I'm very convinced I read it in a credible source.

    I'm afraid Big Cliff hasn't been with us for some considerable time.
    Although he may still have more mobility!

    YEs - the excuses for our inevitable loss to Palace this evening have already brought me to terms with the outcome.

    My sources tell me that it is in fact Watford who have made an offer of £25m to Newcastle/Everton/anyone who'll listen to come and take Deeney off our hands. Hopefully we can get this one over the line.

    Knowing when to leave a long standing relationship is very difficult.
    Most sane people recognise and value the enormous contribution Troy has made to eating,err sorry,to Watford, but it feels to me as if now is the time to say goodbye.
    Sad but heroes come and go,only the fans remain stuck in the life sentence!

    Agreed. something isn't right. He was knocking on the door of an England call up not too long ago. I don't think our style of play suits him and moving on would be best for his career.

    I think he is just too comfortable now. Well paid, media friendly. A move would do with good and shake him up a bit. He doesn't have to chase money in his life anymore so why does he need to chase a backpass either like he used to.

    I'm not sure what he actually brings to the table on the pitch any more.

    Completely lost whatever little pace he had, movement in and around the box is all too often poor, slows down our attacking play, and when we try and use him as a target man he often gets dominated by taller centre backs.

    If there really are teams willing to play upwards of £20m I think we'd be mad to say. He will always be a club legend but I think it's time to move on.

    The fact is he showed up for the start of last season woefully out of condition and has never recovered. I desperately hope he doesn’t start Saturday and I’m amazed I’d ever say that. Get rid.

    Believe me, the fan reaction when Holton was sold was vicious. Eventually cost the manager of the day his job.

    We can't sell TD or Okaka before we know we have a replacement lined up. Otherwise we'll end up with Acuna and Fabbrini joining on loan at 11pm on deadline day.
