He did the same at Saints when he apparently declined to join us and then did a u-turn presumably when Hassle said he wouldn't be in their 25 man squad.
I would imagine if he refuses to budge and just sees his contract out we won't be able to bring anyone else in (in addition to Grant).
Be interesting to see where we are at 5pm on Friday.
As long as he's fit and professional I don't have a problem with having Charlie coming on instead of Deeney.
Can't say as I see much difference personally.....
Completely different players for me, Deeney's one of the best leaders in the Prem and loves a battle and holds the ball up brilliantly and don't forget scored 10 in 23 last season.
You don't know much about football but I've always been with you on Deeney.
You're adamant that we're going down anyway. With that in mind what's the point of spending a wad of money on someone with no resale value or, alternatively, a loan for which we get nothing at the end of the season.
At least with Grant there's resale value.
I'd like to have both, but if its a choice between Grant and Deeney then it's a no brainer.

Absolutely fine. Six year seems a bit long but presumably we're tying him down on wages that are not too extreme. IMO we would have walked the league last season with Grant up top rather than Austin/HRK
