[Football] Ollie Watkins

[Insel affe]

18 million release clause, apparently

I can think of 18 million ways to spend 18 million pounds and none of them involve spending 18 million pounds on Ollie Watkins.






I would rather buy 9 million lucky dips.

I would rather buy 180 million sherbet dips.

That's just silly, you might wanna cut back on that figure and save some cash for a few visits to the dentist.

unless you go free, if that is case, crack on...

He'll be rubbish until Bielsa gets hold of him anyway, THEN he'll be world class after one week's training under the Great Man.

Just a single touch from Bielsa is enough to turn a mediocre player into the reincarnation of Franz Beckenbaur, IMMEDIATELY.

No way Watkins would want to stay at Brentford when he could sign us. We're a huge club compared to them. He's basically ours. Yes, yes he's under contract, but given player power he could probably just get that contract cancelled and join us. They're holding him against his will.

Our manager once won the Swedish league and is a world renowned tactical genius who would be managing Real Madrid if he wanted to.

Watkins is Brighton!!!

So how long ago was it you swapped your allegiance to the Albion from Leeds?

I think you've missed the key point, which is that his girlfriend's Dad is a massive Brighton fan and says that Ollie won't rest professionally until he's played for the mighty BHA. #GOSBTS, # I'm a gobshite. He is Brighton.

Leeds? No idea what you're on about dear boy.

I've seen several Brentford games too and his link up with Benrahma has been highly impressive for most of this season.

Whether he is actually on our radar is anyone's guess, but in all reality it's more than likely the club will be looking for players of his ilk from the Championship. Think this summer it's highly unlikely we'll bring in a striker from abroad after the Andone, Locadia, and Ali J situations.

A bigger version of Maupay from the Championship is what I would be expecting the club to go for, but no idea who.

Not that long, Shirley. All it takes is a glimpse of the greatest manager of all time™ (to never manage in the PL) and Watkins will be under his spell and transformed into a better player than Ronaldo, Messi and Mr Tumble combined

(Apologies to [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION], who's already done that gag)

We Are Champions, Champions Of the World

Just got a good’un against Swansea, looks a handful.

 

[b.w.2.]

IF Brentford don’t go up, THEN let’s raid them again. Watkins looks like he can play and score tonight.

Watkins looking lively tonight. Also offers something in the air

We could do a lot worse and have in the past...

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I like him but I'n not totally convinced. I mean, he's no Giroud. He's too young, too quick, too tall and at £18m he's well out of our price range......haven't Peterborough got anything cheaper?

 

[lawros left foot]

Also had a great relationship with Maupay last season.


Yes , please.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

He’s a very charming and articulate young chap isn’t he. Strikes me as someone who would definitely pass the ‘no dickheads’ test.

Usually ........... yes!

I still hope Andone will be given another chance if he can de-dickhead himself. That first game away v Watford, the attackers were on fire. Andone is better and more experienced than the Brentford lads imho, and he's a Brighton player. Many managers have had to deal with prize bell-ends before. I'd like to see him rehabilitated.
