Troy Deeney makes some truly amazing claims about his time at watfordfc in an incredible YouTube interview
When asked who his relationship was with at Watford that kept him there so long, he said: “Money.
“So you better pay me accordingly because I know what it’s worth to you. I love maths, I like money. I understand. “So you think we can finish top 12, I think we can finish top 14. Remember, this has to be done before the first game of the season. I look around and I figure it out, and I think our team is here: not just me but from the conversations we’ve had in the dressing room.
Deeney discussed how he came close to joining Tottenham, Arsenal and Aston Villa during his time at Vicarage Road – and even played on week after week with a serious injury.“It was the year we got relegated. We lose at Arsenal 3-2 on the last day of the season. I gave my all to that place. That year I played with a hole in my knee, and if you watch and go back and check the footage, they used to bring me off after 60 or 70 minutes and I’m using double ice bags.
“Not the players – the staff. Because that’s who it effects more. We’re still going to get paid so it’s irrelevant. But to cut back we’re going to try and sell a few players – but a tea lady who’s been there 30 years? You’ve got to go? “The two who should be showing we’re going to be alright are me and the Director of Football. And this guy’s crying. I’m looking at it, and there’s 30-odd people in here and it’s just me?
“Bear in mind I’m driving in shorts because I can’t put trousers on because my knee’s massive. My missus looked at me and was like ‘don’t’. But I’m like my knee’s swelling and they want to get rid of me now. “I’m nowhere near as good as Harry and I’d never say that, but there’s certain things I can do that he can’t do.“So we had the chat. Then, back in training now, and I’m on the bike because my knee’s not right, and someone from Arsenal asks if I’d go to Arsenal. But what you have to do is apologise for that [cojones] comment.“It happened to me before in 2013. I scored 25 goals in the Championship and Villa want me – but I’d have to remove or cover my Blues tattoo.
“He’s like ‘Yeah, we’ve got players who don’t want to be here, Troy Deeney is a perfect example of that.’ “I forced it with Wes . My missus did the badge. We gave £420,000 to the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation. Deeney played under 16 head coaches at Watford – including caretaker Hayden Mullins – and when asked for the best, picked out two.“Under Malky [Mackay], no joke I was out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday. I never used to come into Watford on a Monday. I think I had 42 cats died, 16 Aunties. Any reason not to be in, that was me.
“He’d already told me he wanted to sell me and I was a problem. We go to South of France and he says ’right lads, it gaffer’s day’. We go on the beach, do some jogging – he sees a pier and says ’20 sprints’. He sees the water and says ’10 lengths – go out to that rope in the water, there and back 10 times’.
“It’s raining by now, and he tells us to face the water. The sand is heavy, I’ve got sand in places I shouldn’t have and I’ve got this ginger bloke shouting at me. I’m 21 and I’m thinking ‘how can you talk to me like that?’“But it was about mentality, and I always say he put me in a position to be a professional. He was like ‘I don’t care how tough you are. You want to be in this, swallow your pride, get on board, follow instructions.
