Three previous Watford bids all reportedly rejected
2:31pm Monday 26th July 2010 in
Walsall are waiting to see if they receive another offer for Troy Deeney after turning down three bids for the striker, all believed to be from Watford.
Earlier today, the Hornets refused to comment on claims they had made three separate offers for the Saddlers’ Player of the Year over the past three weeks.
However, the Express & Star are reporting that Watford made three offers, each worth around £100,000, with the last of these tabled early last week.
Walsall chief executive Stefan Gamble told the Express & Star: “We’ve received three offers and we’ve made it pretty clear they’ve not been acceptable to us.
“It’s been a week and we haven’t heard anything, so I’m not sure if they’re going to put another offer in.
“Troy is very important to us and we don’t want to sell him.”
Sources close to the League One club may be willing to sell the 22-year-old, who scored 14 goals last season, for around £250,000 to £300,000.

If you think he's worth it Malky, cut the crap and bid sensibly or you'll lose out again!

fairwater says - Somewhere around the £300K-£350K should clinch the deal.
I think most people are starting to see through you and realise you know nothing.
Also, I don't think MM signs the cheques. He will have input but the final say so will go through the board.

BTW, what is the difference between the two figures mentioned in your post. I think you will find they both mention £300K. Perhaps you are dyslexic, or not very good at Maths.

Got to be worth the money - if only to have a player called Troy on the books. Can we play the Stingray theme tune over the tannoy when (if?) he scores? Or perhaps he could be a sub and simply be used for the last 30 minutes and come on to "anything could happen in the next half hour". Either way, 'standby for action', when he plays.

He was good at playing away, had plenty of lead in his pencil, and was always a good scorer!
Sign Him Up Quickly!

Actually I am very good at maths which is why I would not pay £350K for something that I could get for around £250K. This article is after the other article so I presume more up to date and quotes sources close to Walsall, unlike the previous article.

I am pretty sure he doesn't handle the money side of things as is the case with a lot of clubs these days.
MM just says who he wants then it's up to that other bloke (forget his name) to sort things out.

They must have increased each offer in order to be taken seriously.
Somewhere around the £300K-£350K should clinch the deal.
