Ollie Watkins

[Sexton Blake]

I'd take Watkins over Wilson. However whilst Ollie appears more versatile, Wilson I feel is more of a natural goalscoring threat than Ollie. Its a marginal call for me...
But I do agree Southgate has an amazing pool of talent but has yet to get the best out of them. Like driving an F1 car with a handbrake on.

Likely to remain that way and an excellent analogy

New contract = idle speculation transfer for an extra 10k a week.

Remember reading somewhere as a kid , Ollie was a gooner... if that's true . can't imagine him not,.At least wanting to know if a move the them is a possibility.

As long as the fee is over i think 38.5m

£33m IIRC. It was £28m + £5m in add ons. £38m comes from double counting of the £5m add ons in some reporting.

Not sure the fee matters unless Brentford's sell on stipulates that they only receive a % of any profit Villa make. And we don't know that.

Can't we take it as read that it will stipulate a percentage of any profit?!
