That would be nice for them. If they could throw Ollie into the deal so we could get some wonga that would be better

That would be nice!

It would be nice if it was Ollie, not Benrahma. I suspect if they got that money then they would not be in a rush to sell Ollie. But, you never know.

Haven't read it yet but there's an article about Ollie on the EFL site:

Ollie Watkins' EFL journey

Still just 24 years old, is Ollie Watkins the best striker in the Sky Bet Championship?

I see Brentford beat a strong Arsenal side in a friendly at the Emirates this week and looking at the highlights there was no sign of Watkins. Injured? Leaving? or perhaps just not on the team sheet for this fixture?

Watkins played the first half before being replaced (as was almost every other player that started the game) for the second half

Hit or miss gentleman opinions please ?

only seen him the once, but first impressions, he looked a slightly timid almost ungainly leggy young colt,

but watching him, seemed have a decent first touch, when he decides to use it a nice turn of pace, a bit of power and physical presence about him most

importantly an eye for goal. needs to seriously up his work rate, forget his age and inexperience use his assets impose himself more. With gentle handling and a

touch of patience maybe just maybe we could have a serious 'player' on our hands.

this is the specialist thread for Ollie Watkins rather than the generic ‘former players’ thread. Setback for his automatic promotion to the Prem hopes last night

credit to Bondy for a perceptive OP six years ago.

And in post 2 there is a great team goal from the youth team of 2013, with the strings in midfield pulled by an impressive left footer, presumably Matt Grimes!

If that were true I'd thought they'd have loads of clubs sniffing around for that money.

Yep and maybe there are. We'd hope for a bidding war.
