Had a chat with a long time Watford fan the other day. I'm in St Albans so there are plenty to go around, here 
The subject of our supposed interest in Troy Deeney came up.
His view is that he's basically a lazy player. He doesn't work hard for the team, doesn't work hard to make space for himself to create chances. The reason he scores regularly in the Champ is that despite this, the defenders are often slow enough that his pace can be enough to open up the chance.
He is very dubious of him being able to make the step-up to the Prem - where he would have to work consistently hard against Prem quality defenders to try and fashion chances.
Perhaps best leave him to Leicester then? (not that I've heard too much on any ongoing interest from us over the last week or so)
