If Watkins really does prefer to play for Villa which is where he started his career (see previous post) there's nothing much we can do about that. But I am sure Palace will keep trying - fingers crossed And their manager is Dean Smith. He signed him for Brentford from Exeter.

I agree. Looks like Villa are still ahead in the race to get Watkins on their books? If he does go to Villa then even more important to pin down a deal for Fraser next week, and to bring another striker in? Hopefully Dougie's we'll known Scottish negotiation skills will persuade Mateta to Sarf London? I suspect this coming week will be a busy one for comings and goings? As usual any Dazza progress report gratefully appreciated!

Apparently PSG have a 40% sell on for Eduoard, no wonder Celtic want over £30m for him

Villa were also after Abraham (apparently) and for obvious reasons given his loan spell with them but Abraham (again apparently) wants to fight for his Chelsea place, but as I've posted elsewhere he's looking no. 3 in the pecking order behind Werner and Giroud.

Probably in the minority here - but Watkins scored a load of goals in a very confident and all attack minded team, not sure what his conversation per opportunity is but having watched a fair bit of him on tv he misses plenty of chances he ought to finish too. He’s had such a high profile last season that it will ultimately come down to him to decide where he wants to go. We missed the boat on him last season and £25 million is a bit steep imo. Don’t think he’s worth that figure and I’d prefer a more clinical striker like Brewster (on loan) or even Batshuayi for similar money is proven at a higher level. Solanke, Maja and Mateta would offer similar for much less outlay imo. Agree, we don't play to his style at all. A good CF, but he wouldn't achieve with us.

He will go to Villa At £28 mill they are welcome . He is a promising young player. Paying that sort of money to find out if he can unlock tight Premier defences has to be considered high, high risk.

Rumours Villa have agreed a 28m fee and 5m in add ons for Watkins. Way out of our price range.

I like him and think he'll eventually do well but can see him taking time to adjust like Che Adams did this year for the Saints.

Got to love Brentford, have already purchased OW replacement Toney for 5 mill ( why we didn’t buy him even as a back up etc etc ???) and will possibly make 20 mill profit on OW in one season .. built and opening a new ground for the cost of the stand we haven’t built .. Why the f haven’t we got a set up like Brentford?? Edited by kev64 (08 Sep 2020 3.12pm)
