Watford have made an enquiry according to the Athletic

 

[FelindreJack]

Have Watford got 20 million to spend on a striker?

 

[A4Jack]

Joel Piroe is the subject of an enquiry from Championship club Watford as speculation continues over the Dutchman’s future in South Wales. It had been suggested that Leicester City were interested in the former PSV striker but there was never anything concrete to suggest that Brendan Rodgers was tempted...

Can’t see it IMO, more likely to see Ajax go for him with Haller off

See this wouldn't surprise me, I don't see Prem clubs coming in for him yet and we won't get anywhere near the value needed from Watford.

What's his realistic value?

10/12m?

22 years old and scored 20+ goals last season. Got to be 15m minimum!

Imagine him banging 3 passed us next season ...no thanks

Under £10m if it's Watford imo. No money in the championship. I know there are parachute payments etc but just can't see it being enough.

On the flip side this is Watford, a club prone to making irrational decisions in many areas of football.

With two of them from clear offside positions.

Prices have only gone up since we sold McBurnie, another 20+ goal Championship striker, for more than £20m. So that should be the starting point for Piroe, but the whole world knows we need money badly. At this point I'd be impressed if we got £15m for him, even if that is under market value.

 

[A4Jack]

If you look at Ollie Watkins, Neal Maupay, McBurnie, Adam Armstrong, Che Adams, is he any worse than those players?

All went for late £10ms early £20ms and I personally think he's more clinical than all of them.

Imagine how many he would have scored for Fulham for example

 

[CurtessECarr]

Not sure about Premier clubs spending big on Championship strikers who score goals. Clubs have had fingers burnt with Mc Burnie, Brewster, Adam Armstrong, Che Adams. I'm sure there's others with a similar tale to tell. Bowen at WHU has done well but I certainly think Premier League clubs would be more cautious than before. Has Brereton of Blackburn been linked to a Premier league club? He was out for a bit last season but still scored over 20 goals. How many can you expect from Mitrovic next season? He scored 43 last season.
