Ollie Watkins

[matty74]

What concerns me is that Watkins knows the villa boss really well and it looks like Wilson is going to Newcastle now, so Villa will probably go all out for Watkins .

He is 25, he will take biggest contract he can, even more so with corona pandemic.

What type of striker watkins is ? Sorry I have never seen him play so just being curious ... Is he hold up striker like milik, giroud or fast, running in the channel type striker like defoe, josh king?

I’d rather a CL scrap than a relegation scrap.

 

[Duffman]

Brentford have also already signed Ivan Toney, who could be seen at Watkin's replacement

If Watkins has emerged as our number one target, and our only rival is Villa, you’d imagine that the allure of Mourinho, Kane, Son et al would be more than enough to get this done. And yet, who the fuck would put confident money on it?

Not in today's squad

I'd agree with the people who think it will be a reasonably difficult decision for him to choose between us and Villa given his connection to the Villa boss + the obvious fact he'll start more games for them.

But you'd still have to think that playing for Spurs and Mourinho + working with Kane would swing it. Also gets to stay local &, if he's looked at our fixture schedule, i'm sure he can see that he will play a lot more games than you would initially think !

Well as i said in an earlier post he would be cuptied so thats a good sign.
Go get him Danny boy hes exactly what we want

Makes too much sense, therefore I can’t see it happening ?

London could be a factor. He doesn't need to move (opinion).

Would be interesting to know the thought process behind this one - i wonder if he was initially put in a 'possible but going to be expensive' list but then some of the cheaper options turned out to be selling for almost as much and he suddenly looks a pretty good deal by comparison ?

Maybe I can concede some ground and give you previous windows.

But going by this window alone, thus far I'd suggest all 3 signings have been sensible.

The club have proved they can do it. Keep the faith.

Just spotted something potentially interesting (probably isn't) - the first mention of our interest was in the Mirror yesterday in the Will Hughes article. Will Hughes and Ollie Watkins belong to the same agency so maybe they got their info directly from the agent?

If he lives close to Brentford it would probably be quicker to get to Birmingham than it would be to the training ground in Enfield with London traffic

Yeah... you're right. It isn't.


Just kiddin'

I have faith, it’s just when it comes to back up strikers I know we like to slack on it, hence why it’s taken so long, but you’re right, if it means waiting longer I’d be happy with this choice.

Ahh, the ol' smokescreen
