Mind you the away end at St James Park was quite possibly the worst I have ever been to in a league club. Basically a lump of concrete! We upgraded our away end last year We bought Barnets old one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Brentford can get to **** with any sell on fee. That probably depends on how much we bought him for...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post skarroki Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 Think we've been bin dipping for strikers for so long that some of you don't know how much half-decent ones cost anymore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or £40m Joelinton. I know we didn't sign him, Newcastle did, but we could do way worse for way more money than £28m for Watkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exeter Fan Posted September 8, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 FWIW, Brentford fans were on our forums worried about paying nearly £2m initially for him! Now look how well they've done out of him. Give it 2 years and he'll be making a big money move to a top 6 side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think you'll invest it? Problem is, youve lost at 26 goal striker and you have to now hope that Toney steps up. Depending on how you reinvest, losing Watkins definitely makes you weaker.

jacketspuds Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We're signing a striker that scored the same number of goals in the Championship last season as Tammy Abraham did the season before. Yes, Tammy had a much bigger reputation, but he's now going to be worth close to, if not more than, £50m. We aren't going to be spending that on a striker, and even if we tried to I would imagine a £50m is going to want a wage that is way out of our budget at the moment. We are signing a striker that not only could score a decent number of goals for us next season but also one that puts opposition defenders under pressure. We desperately need that in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 High fee but maybe a lower wage so the overall package of a 5 year deal isn't crazy bad, doubt he's rocking up with £80k a week wage demands (as in he'll be cheaper than Wilson overall) Can't see us getting 2 strikers if he's cost us that much though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
