Asked if he was fit for Saturday and he said hopefully. That's my ITK info. Do I get a blue tick next to my name? Fingers crossed. For me, he's arguably just as important to the team as Grealish was, albeit while being a step down from him in terms of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 1 hour ago, DCJonah said: Anyone who said we didn't need another striker was wrong. It was obvious last summer. I didn't think Tammy would come here to compete and I thought it was a lot of money to sign Tammy as back up/competition. Now Ings is a different prospect all together. He's a better player than Tammy, has played in a front two and can drift wide or drop deep and allow someone like Watkins to still play their game. Ings was the right signing. Tammy, for multiple reasons would not have been IMO. I have broken, my promise....I am only going to comment on your posts when I agree with you. and I do on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 We have had other not long term injuries be out for months and months, there is no solace in saying that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Annoying but it is what it is. This squad should be more than capable of beating Newcastle without Watkins. Get him back fit and firing next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 So last week he was “back next week”. Next week rolls along and he’s still out but it’s “not a long term injury”. Sound familiar? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so ...... expect Ollie to be out until after Christmas !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Im still concerned with scowl he gave Ings when he (Ings) scored in a friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Yep, that's him done for a while. Ings might have been brought in because they know Watkins injury is a problem... Either way, it's Villa, a place where even the most innocuous injury can sideline you for 12 months.

I just find it frustrating that he was touch and go for the Watford game and now he's out of this game too? The club doesn't owe the fans anything when it comes to injury news, it's just hugely frustrating we're told a player might be out for a couple of weeks and then misses 3 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
