Ollie Watkins
What a first half performance he gave last night. Pace, movement, running the line, occupying all our defenders at times.
I thought Villa were bonkers paying that fee for him but what a player he looks.
We simply couldn't cope with him.

Re: Ollie Watkins
According to some on here we have our own version of Stan and Ollie up front....I wouldn’t swap ours for their Ollie tbh

Re: Ollie Watkins
He's not likely to be going anywhere soon in all fairness considering he's just signed a new contract and he loves the club which is massively on the up. They seem to have endless amounts of cash too

Re: Ollie Watkins
that maybe, but our 7 season's in the Premier League have not seen us able to spend the £240m and counting that they have in the last 4 windows, that and no debt as there two billionaire owners keep piling money into shares rather than loans - still means that the club is getting used to living beyond it's means without regular European football though, which could mean they are no different to Bolton in the long run.DomBFC1882 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 1:45 pmWorth every penny of that 33 million.

If hes ambitious he will leave, Villa will never pull up any trees,hes just inflating his transfer fee with his long contract.DomBFC1882 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 1:52 pmHe's not likely to be going anywhere soon in all fairness considering he's just signed a new contract and he loves the club which is massively on the up.

Re: Ollie Watkins
I don't disagree with that at all Chester. My comment is aimed at Watkins and my belief that he is worth every penny of what they paid.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 1:52 pmthat maybe, but our 7 season's in the Premier League have not seen us able to spend the £240m and counting that they have in the last 4 windows, that and no debt as there two billionaire owners keep piling money into shares rather than loans - still means that the club is getting used to living beyond it's means without regular European football though, which could mean they are no different to Bolton in the long run.
Their business last season was atrocious bar Heaton and Mings I'd say and they still spent well over a 100 million

Re: Ollie Watkins
Hard to say. He's pretty much a certainty for England so he doesn't need to move to enhance his international prospects does he. Villa could well be a top 4 challenging side soon just like Leicester. No reason why not

We’re we ever seriously interested? Can’t imagine he’d ever have left Villa for us, even when we were in Europe.claretandy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 1:55 pmShame we didn't follow through with our interest when we signed Jay instead.

Re: Ollie Watkins
£50 that he scores fewer than 35 PL goals by the end of the 22/23 season?
Re: Ollie Watkins
Had we not been in the middle of a pandemic I think there would have been some offers come in for Grealish. In regards to the original post yes I think Watkins along with Villas style is perfect for him, be interesting to see how he progresses.

Re: Ollie Watkins
That's a stupid bet as you'd need to do it by season.
I'll happily have £50 with you that he scores more goals than Chris Wood in the 21/22 season where its a fresh start for both? Providing we stay up of course which looks likely.

Re: Ollie Watkins
Because who's to say he's going to be playing in the Premier league then? He could well move abroad. Are you scared or something?

Re: Ollie Watkins
And Wood had already scored almost five times the number of Watkins if we don't take some arbitrary starting point of the start of this season.DomBFC1882 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 2:19 pmWe could start this season but he's already scored double the amount of Chris wood

Re: Ollie Watkins
I've given you a perfectly sensible bet but you're chickening out. Why would I commit to a bet such as yours when he might not necessarily still be in the Premier league? You're delusional.
You, yet again, was the person to mention chris wood even though my comment on Watkins mentioned nothing about wood. Obsessed pal.
Either take the bet or even better do one

I can back Wood to outscore Watkins over the remainder of this season though if you want.

Re: Ollie Watkins
Your bet isn't sensible though as its too far ahead and leaves to many variables. Relegation, long term injuries, transfer abroad etc
Re: Ollie Watkins
No, you're not getting a four goal head start. From now until the end of the season I have Wood to score more PL goals than Watkins.DomBFC1882 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 2:28 pmI'm happy with that. So Woods on 4 and Watkins on 8 agreed?
And fair enough I missed the joke
You're probably getting the good end of the deal as Villa do create more chances than we do.
And maybe I should've added a smiley after my joke

Re: Ollie Watkins
I'm not saying I want a 4 goals start im just clarifying what both players on. So again do you agree Watkins is on 8 and Wood is on 4? Therefore whoever scores most from there/today IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE wins the bet?

Booked. £50?
Villa have played one game fewer than us as well so you're getting an extra good deal.

Re: Ollie Watkins
No mate im a fair person so Villa have to play their game in hand over us first. I've just checked and they play Southampton on the 30th so if we ignore that game then both teams have played 19 so we can start it from then?

How do you wanna do this? I can pop my email on here for you to take down and you can just send me a quick email?
I make bets with strangers on the internet all the time and usually settle by PayPal. Wood v Pukki was a big winner for me last season.
