Pre-match interview Gerrard when asked about Watkins responded he would be back for the next match (Manure). Gerrard has always been coy about Covid issues with players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect Double what we paid for him at the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 2 hours ago, foreveryoung said: Any one think he didn't play, because of a problem behind closed doors, or genuine Covid. Gerrard didn't seem to want to say much about him. I personally think he is looking for a move, especially now Smith has gone. Possibly, but bare in mind he kind of threw Smith under the bus by accident in an interview a few weeks ago. Reckon he might be one who is " not fully with the program " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I joked earlier about Arsenal bidding for him, which is why he didn’t play today. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up there by the end of the next window at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 As ever people are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 7. He won't be going in January and he will need to think very carefully as it's world cup year in cuddly Qatar. I don't think he is clinical enough to play regularly for a top 6 side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not in this window, but you never know next summer. Saying that, Arsenal are potentially signing Isak so that would most likely rule out a move for Watkins. 20% sell on fee? Is that just on any profit we make on him? I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I’d sell him for 60m. We need to secure safety, but apart from that nothing much to get from this season. Although we’ll only have Ings and Archer. Watkins is being selfish and missing a lot of chances. Very bad decision making. We won’t ever get this price. We’re in a rebuild process after losing Jack. A new manager. It’s the perfect time to sell him (ofcourse depending on the price). We haven’t sold El Ghazi last summer but look at him and his price right now?
