Christ, 8 mil for a Watford striker? Amazing how pricey footballers are nowadays. I'd rather have me and seven million. Or in fact, I'd rather have 8 million.
Decent player but would have a slight worry that both him and Austin while I think could do it in prem haven't ,look at Norwich had 2 strikers in hooper and van winkel both no prem experience and Norwich struggled massively scoring goals last year. So if deeney comes in I think another experienced striker is needed also .

Hull,Crystal Palace and Swansea recently have used non Premier League strikers when promoted and scored plenty. Lack of experience of the league can work for you also if the players are young,fearless and ambitious.
Stephie May would need to step up massively to become a decent Championship player. Sigthorson looks decent on Youtube but is an unknown quantity and may take time to settle. Ibarbo is a winger not a striker. Deeney is a better option than them all. He has the pace we're looking for,will have some sell on value having just turned 26,Lives locally so will settle quickly and will have no problem with the physical stresses of this league plus its a step up rather than down. He will score goals in the Premier League.
Even though the SPL isnt great, to say its a step down from the championship is a bit of an exaggeration isnt it. Considering that may scored 27 goals last year at the age of 21 im sure he could do a job as a back up for Austin, and i would rather keep the other 5 million and buy Fer or put it towards Redmond or Holtby.

We did offer them Diakite in PartEx, but they said that would make it £9m !?!?!

Yep agree it can work but hull brought in long and jelavich,palace brought in chamack and jerome so I think u need a balance, young hungry and fearless but have a bit of experience when things aren't going well.

Its a dreadful league,only Celtic would have any chance of finishing in the top 6. Some of the players in that division were league1/2 players in their primes yet are still playing up there. Would certainly be impressed if we manage to secure the others on your list.
Wasn't he sent down recently or do I have the wrong player?
Just thinking, is he the "right sort" that the club keep banging on aboot?
Oi, wake up at the back there - already covered in this thread!
His victim said he was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother. He said he nailed his head to the floor but be fair, there was nothing else he could do as he had transgressed the unwritten law. He was a cruel man, but fair.
Born again Barton being set up as a mentor to use a combination of violence and sarcasm. JB knows all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire. No longer will he bite heads off whippets.
Exactly. Just check the name of the OP with a cretin on Fantasy Island who comes under the name of Factomundo, who for the last couple of years has been claiming that Gary Hooper was signing at any moment based on the fact that he buys sausage rolls in a bakers where his mum works somewhere in Essex.
Would be great if this board was quarantined against such idiots.
The price of championship strikers is well overinflated, another thing to blame Fulham for.
The word on the street — both in SW6 and in W. Yorks — is that McCormack was £7m. Still a lot of money if that’s true, but significantly less mental than £11m.

He's a good signing & worth the money if his goals get you back up.

Agreed. Personally I have no idea whether he’ll be any good for us, but the important thing is that I spend about twenty minutes watching him before deciding if he’s the best/worst player in the world. If he scores eight goals on his debut, I’m gonna call him Super Ross, sellotape a poster of him to my pillow case and get his name tattooed down my forearm in Arabic. Alternatively, if he doesn’t score 8 goals, I’m gonna start calling him Dross McCormack, and run down to the front of the stand every week during the warm-up to call him a fat, greedy, feet of sh it cu nt. So, he’s under a lot of pressure.
Can't say he seems like the 'right sort' given his record etc.
But from everything i've seen of him as a player, he looks like he'd be a great signing.
Quick, strong, prolific and i think he'd be absolutely motivated to prove himself at the prem level given he's spent so many years in the lower leagues.
I think he'd be a better bet than the Icelandic guy IF we can see that his recent behaviour has improved and he's not a budding Marlon King...
As long as 20 minutes, Konk? You're a rank amateur. Here at QPR we don't need to see a player kick a ball to appraise him. Most times we can tell from his body language, or in some cases from his nationality. The real experts just need a misspelled name.
