Ollie Watkins - "All the goals." This is so exciting to watch! A genuine poacher type who reads the play well, positions himself well and can finish one touch from all sorts of positions. 26 goals without penalties is spectacular at Championship level. We'd have paid this much for Tammy last year if Chelsea didn't have the transfer ban, and I see this as just as good a signing. Absolutely thrilled. Most exciting signing since what, Carew? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disputes over if it was 15 or 20% But based on 20%... 28m. 3.5% to Exeter (taken off the price by Villa and paid to Exeter direct) = £980,000 Remaining £27,020,000 paid to BFC Brentford pay 20%(?) of profit to Exeter: Profit is 27,020,000 - 1,800,000 = 25,220,000 20% = 5,044,000 Exeter therefore get: £6,024,000 Bees get: £21,976,000" Add on the £1.8m we got upfront... Total sale of £7.8m for a league two player. Incredible. Potential for it to go up another £1m if Ollie activates all the £5m sell on fees for Brentford, too.

Completely agree, even if he doesnt immediately set the league on fire, i have no doubt having someone like watkins who is a hard worker, has excellent movement etc, will improve the front line no end. If we can get one more winger/IF i will be really happy with the front 3 of Grealish, Watkins and another player.....yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Luiz for me. But I totally get what you're saying. I wouldn't have minded us dropping 50m on Tammy. Watkins is that annoying prick you play against and you need to come off after 65 minutes because your legs have gone. When you have a striker like Watkins, Tammy etc you don't need to be that creative they'll make the chances for you with their constant running.

TRO Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Mjvilla said: Happy with this. Certainly looks like attitude is something they've looked at improving. Too many times last season we were too passive. Players like Cash and Watkins, from what I've read, have fantastic attitude and work rate. This is definitely a good thing to my eye. I'm sure it's something @TRO will appreciate and be happy with too! Me...I am cautiously optimistic.....He seems the sort, we should be courting. Attitude and outlook, just can't be underestimated......I only talk about so much, because, i think it is taken for granted, in so many quarters. I never overlook natural talent, but it looks like the under 21's had a lesson in playing against men. I will be surprised if Ollie doesn't follow Jack in being a dedicated Pro....intent on doing damage for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
