  1. Yes it is far fetched, Watkins is the better all round player and worth every penny.
  2. Shame, But Thomas Frank has stated that neither him or Rico Henry are for sale in this window, But then, Money talks.(£20 Million each anyone)
  3. I know that Nana knows, like me, Ollie is not going to any club to play 2nd fiddle, he's only going to a club if he's the main man, and why should he not live the dream?, that could be the reason why there is a delay in announcing the chosen club, or it could be neither club will give way on the price, we have his replacement already, so there is no urgency for us to sell.
  4. Not the best of games as we were missing 5 regulars away on international duty, He wasn't great was he, early days yet, but in his defense he hadn't played for a while and didn't look match fit by our standards, We have been spoiled by Watkins, but I did see some promise there and once we have him up to our speed and fitness I'm sure he will be fine and get us a few goals. The Watkins to Spurs is all BS, he will be Villa bound, trust me.
  5. There is a very good reason for that, He missed most of last season, As he suffered a serious injury in October and never played again except for a couple of games as a sub and the end of the season, this game would have done him good today and will get him back to his usual self.
  6. You are not wrong, he won't be going to Spurs or anywhere as a bench warmer, he will want to be the main man, hopefully with you.
  7. No it's not, he's not been playing due to him moving on, but he's been training with the squad since the return, he's a super fit athlete who will be ready to go, his fitness will never be in any doubt I can guarantee you. I'm just going to watch his replacement Ivan Toney play live on Sky now in the League Cup, hope he's as good!!!
  8. That's just what you get with West Ham and their owners the Dildo brothers
  9. Hope so, because we will have a sell on fee due!!
  10. Take it from me you can trust "Banana" or "Nana" as he is affectionately know by most Bees supporters , he is definitely ITK on club matters as he runs our GPG website, I trust him to be right most of the time.
  11. One of the most overrated players ever, has stolen a living in those 10 years.
  12. So the press say, can you trust them?, just look at all the different prices being quoted by them, anything from £18 million to £28 million, they haven't got a clue and are just making it all up as they go along, Villa is a well supported club with a manager who knows him well, it should be a no brainer for him to join.
  13. How on earth can you base his performance and your views on videos alone, I have watched him week in week out and I can assure you that with his year by year improvement he's ready for the big step up, his time has come, as for comment that he's not a natural finisher, you will soon change your mind when he comes to you.
  14. We stopped doing loans a few of years ago, I think we got fed up with developing other clubs players without any reward, we scrapped our academy and went for a "B" team model picking up youngsters under the radar, that seems to work better for us, we do loan out though.
  15. You have obviously never seen him play, except for possibly couple of times on TV/YouTube, that's not how you judge a player, he won the EFL Young player of the year with Exeter, he's now won this years EFL player of the year with us, he gets better each each move, and he's had far more than one good season.
  16. https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/2017/6/1/15723598/scout-and-about-efl-young-player-of-the-year-ollie-watkins-a-potential-safc-target https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/who-aston-villa-leeds-united-13122479 I think you will find it's 15%, But Just have a look at this from June 2017, you missed the boat then and we nipped in under the radar, it's the same in a lot of other papers that week, just like now journalism hasn't changed he was linked with every club under the sun, nothing has changed in 3 years!!!!
  17. The price "quoted" is nothing to do with either club, it's the so called press that should be taken to task for repeatedly telling porkies, it appears they can't separate fact from fiction, That went in the difficult box.
  18. Don't get carried away with all the silly prices quoted for Watkins, they are totally untrue and made up by the lazy press just copying and pasting each others guesswork, only us and Villa know the true price, and that will be kept a secret by all, I am sure that a sensible price can be agreed amicably by both parties, and it will be nowhere near these silly prices.
  19. Benrahma now back in training, not being picked or played along with Watkins, it will be a mutual agreement by all as they are both on the move, the last thing the club want is for two valuable assets to get injured before being sold, I'm sure the players feel the same way, why should they risk a likely lucrative new pay packet.
  20. Because she couldn't find anyone as handsome and dashing as me in her area, plus I was earning big London money, and that was a big pull
  21. Born and bred in Birchfield, comes from a long line of Villa supporters, but emigrated to west London over 60 years ago when I had to convert her to a Bee, so she's a genuine dual supporter, she just hopes Ollie comes to you.
  22. Villa of course, just like my wife does.
  23. I think it could well be, but we don't actually know what clubs are genuinely interested in him, due to all the nonsense spouted in the press that makes it hard to separate fact from fiction, It also takes time, these deals don't happen overnight, be patient.
  24. Of course they are, please remember these numbers are not coming direct from either club, they are figures picked out of a hat by click bait sites and ill informed sources living in fantasy land, When/if any deal done it will be by mutual agreement for both clubs, and will remain private, that's how the real world works, not by ill judged guesswork by the press.
  25. FWIW, Down this end it looks like Arsenal are in the driving seat at the moment, they seem to have money to spend, But what do I know !!!!
