Troy Deeney labelled ‘deluded’ after revealing who he thinks he’s a better striker than

Troy Deeney has been labelled ‘deluded’ after revealing who he thinks he’s a better striker than for a gone viral video on social media.

A video emerged on CBS Sports Golazo’s TikTok channel, and then other Twitter users caught on, getting millions of views and thousands of comments.

In the clip, Deeney is told to stay silent until he heard a better striker than himself. He stayed silent for Teemu Pukki, Odion Ighalo, Divock Origi, Chris Wood, Michu, Emmanuel Adebayor, Peter Crouch and Nicklas Bendtner.

In fact, he only talks for Jamie Vardy.

Man stayed silent at Emmanuel Adebayor 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/hL0J2zNJjj

As mentioned, Troy Deeney was labelled ‘deluded’ by fans after revealing who he thinks he’s a better striker than…

@AO1865: We should be more shocked at the fact he thinks he’s better than Chris Wood…

@purefootballX: The ego on Deeney is embarrassing

@HLTCO: Peter Crouch was so far clear of Troy Deeney. I know he loves himself but turn it in, Troy. Crouch is undoubtedly too nice a bloke to be arsed about it but that’s laughable.

@ryan_higgins: No cap Troy thinking he’s better than 100 premier league and 22 England goal Peter crouch tells you all you need to know about Troy

@NineNineCraig: Guys got some ego when he was one of the most bang average strikers. I’d take everyone of those over him

@onestep4ward Troy deeney scored 27 non-penalty top flight goals in his entire career. Adebeyaor got 24 in 1 season at Arsenal. Crouch got about 100 total, almost 4 times as many. This guy has an IQ of about 80.

@afcbiggie: He’s closer to Bendtner than any of these

@Jackoranda: The way he says “you’re kidding me here” after Crouch, like there is no question that he’s better! Crouch played for Liverpool, Spurs and Villa – Deeney played for Watford. Case closed.

@Milkman8971: Adebayor as well, he played for city, arsenal and Real Madrid. Troy’s best career moment was getting linked with arsenal. Bloke thinks way too highly of himself

@birchy77: Crouch the standout. But Teemu is his country’s all time leading scorer. Championship player of the year, 2 x championship winner. 22 prem goals in crap sides. Schalke and Celtic on his CV.

@1MUFCopinions20: Not many can replicate what Michu did in his first season. At Swansea as well

@Morton_10: What’s also hilarious is that, Pukki, Ighalo, Wood, Adebayor and Crouch all have more career goals that him. Easily one of the most dislike-able people involved in football. The arrogance of Cristiano Ronaldo with the ability of, well… Troy Deeney

@DLarv86:
So much delusion here.
Crouch scored more PL goals with his head than Deeney scored PL goals.
Chris wood has 29 more PL goals than him.
Adebayor has double the PL goals and played for Real Madrid
The fact he looked reluctant to say yes on vardy 💀

@itsnotovaaah: His face at 0:06 when he clocks he’s getting names like Teemu Pukki and not Suarez/RVP is special

@JackBucker: Fucking Pukki is better than him but the arrogance of this clown to think he’s also better than Wood, Crouch and Adebayor. Fucking tit

@Ixrisldn: Took a minute at Vardy and said ‘you’re kidding me’ like he was leagues above the rest 😂😂 Strong contender for most deluded footballer of all time

@AH__1208: The delusion of this man is unrivaled, how you standing there thinking you were better than Crouch and Adebayor 😂😂

@_TeamsLikeLuton: Who tf does he think he is? Every clip I see of Deeney is him talking about himself like he was some great, one of a kind player 😂

@CallumD_4: His face when he realises the strikers he’s being compared to 😂
