VillaChris Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 7 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: He finished that well. He's turned into a really good Championship striker. Is it fixed that Watford have to sign him permanently or is it dependent on if they go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have kept him and loaned Archer. I have always like Ollie.....but right now, he's not effective in goal scoring terms. holding the ball up, is very noble, but its not enough for the money we pay out in wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 To be quite honest I have always liked Keinan and knew there was a player in there once he had a run of games. He finally got that at Forest and helped them to promotion. He now looks like a very good Championship striker with potential to develop into a very good bottom half Premier League one. His finishing is coming on now, unlike Watkins who appears to be going backwards in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit harsh on Watkins, Watkins had a better goal per game record last season in all competitions than Davis did, whilst playing in a much stronger league, for a team that was struggling, whereas Davis played in one of the best teams in their league. I guess it would be interesting to see and compare their xG etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted October 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2022 We can't judge any players while we are playing the style of football we did against Leeds, it was dreadful , aimlessly hitting balls anywhere. Not even into space. McGinn is a typical example of a player who in the same week can play very well at international level and then come back to the Villa and look bang average at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my own calculations, which most likely are not entirely right. Watkins goals per minutes is better than Davis's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been with the club for about 6-7 years, never really featured, nearly 25 years old now. Really odd career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 10 minutes ago, Delphinho123 said: Can’t be any worse than Watkins For me he would’ve given us a different dimension, I actually believe he would have enabled us to play further up the field which would benefit the likes of Buendia and Coutinho.

HongKongVillan Posted October 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2022 As much as I like him and now a very good championship player (completely proved me wrong on this), his movement and awareness in around the box is still lacking.

When do we get the ball in the box!? What we need is someone to hold the ball up for our midfield to catch up. Davies would be better at that than Ollie in my opinion.

It’s the midfield not doing the catching up bit that lets us down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Wont surprise me to see Davis being top scorer in the championship (In a season or two) and then go on to become a good PL striker. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belated reply, but I understand that they only have to make the signing permanent, if they are promoted. It would be a shame, if he spent another season trying to get a club up, only for them to riggle out of signing him at the end of the season.
