AntrimBlack Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 40 minutes ago, Exeter Fan said: 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. I was right with you up to then, cheeky. A couple more years we will be competing for top six. Well done, by the way. Nice little windfall for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Based on Brentford upping their Watkins asking price by £10m, we should up our Grealish one by £20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be ridiculous. If he gets his England debut then it's a straight £150m. So another 70m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Wonder who will score more goals next year, Wilson or Watkins?! Edited September 8, 2020 by nnock1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The fee is irrelevant. Its high, but essentially we got our man and top target. I think the first time I saw him properly was at Villa Park in the 2-2 vs. Smith’s Brentford. Was very impressive and saw a bit of early Dele Alli in him. Think he played off the left that night but he was the standout player for them, looked dangerous all night and a player I wanted us to get. Workrate, build, technique was all what you want from a forward thinking player. He’s only going to get better. Delighted with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Honestly I'm just happy we've finally got more striker options now. I mean another season relying on Wesley and Samatta, no thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had the Hazard money and Morata, Costa etc sitting in the bank for a few transfer windows. They were going to show no mercy lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 8 minutes ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Thing is mate, that extra 6 - 8 mill might be taking away from the budget for another player we want on big money too? Quite possibly but once you factor in wages then it might not impact too greatly on our budget. I doubt Watkins will be on anything near the sort of money Wilson wanted so maybe this was why we agreed to the reported fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Could have gone to Spurs, but decided to join a big club. Apparently he’s the only player in the world who would have chosen us over Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
