Dodgyknees Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I really like Watkins and can see him scoring 12-15 goals in his first season and then perhaps more from that point. I can also see him going through a dry spell next season so we need to stick with him. I reckon 6 goals before Christmas. None till March, then another 6-9.

We need to wait a year or two in case they need money for a new training ground Oh and re sell on’s Newcastle are getting £3m out of the deal, they are increasingly common these days.

Delphinho123 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 A fairly reliable sky journalist claiming a lot of clubs in for Watkins. Don’t think this one is done just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 If we are getting Watkins, I’d like us to bring in Benrahma too (links have gone quiet but maybe that’s a good thing, linked up well with Watkins and would help the pair to settle & perform more quickly). Ollie won’t be signed to play wide (makes no sense and why interfere with his progress and form?), he’ll be playing CF where he has developed and hit form. Doesn’t make sense to play him wide where he has never really stood out or “shone” unless it’s covering for injuries etc. Personally, I would have liked us to go for a bigger signing in that position but who knows? He could be a revelation, needs quality around him to score though... Benrahma & another winger would be great and much needed. Honestly though, if these end up as our main signings in attack, I feel we cannot be as ambitious as we hope quite yet and will be making slower progress than anticipated. Hard to judge anything yet, until we have most of our business completed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I’d honestly just give Brentford 55-60m for Watkins, Henry and Benrahma. Then focus on another winger and a central midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, well, hoping, that if Villa do sign Watkins they will will also sign Edouard with Davis going out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
