[Football] Ollie Watkins

[Cowfold Seagull]

I thought Watkins was snuffed out rather too easily by Tim Ream and 'Virgil van Mike' Hector last night. Not very encouraging for his chances of cutting it in the Premier League.

I know what you mean, although it was only the one game l suppose. Certainly though Tim Ream especially isn't the most able of defenders in my opinion, and surprised he still makes the Fulham starting line up.

But surely Things Can Only Get Better.

This twitter account - has a track record for making informed guesses often around Brighton transfer activity for some reason , hoovering up likes and engagement and the attention that duly follows and then quietly deleting them a few weeks later if they don't come to pass.

Just another attention-seeking bedroom merchant who's probably making a fortune off all these Likes. Knows as much about transfers as the rest of us do (ie what he reads on mainstream and social media).

You lot want Eze, Watkins, Edouard, Fraser, Batts, Osayi-Samuel and Sarr.

How many of them do you think you will get?

Should be able to get them all with the £100m they get for Mr Tumble

Goals scored in Championship this season: 26

I’d say he’d get about 4 of those in the Premier League. The marking on him is non existent with 90% of those goals, shocking really; he would find himself completely free in the penalty area in the Premier League over 20 times, that’s for sure!

That Transfer News Live tweet is going to unleash a tidal wave of ITK gossiping...

Transfer news live twitter account does have over 20k followers so looks credible .

They're all guessing. Its like, for younger readers, that song "you're so vain". I bet you think this thread is about you is what they want and what they often get.

Transfer news live twitter account does have over 20k followers so looks credible , however I believe most are ‘ paid for ‘ followers so actually they don’t have any more inside knowledge than any of the respected football journalists in fact probably a lot less . Ignore . Obviously the situation could change but we are not going to pay silly wages to a championship player in the way a team badly run like West Ham or Aston Villa would .

Also known as Transfer Guess Live.

Yeah he is mustard this bloke

 

[The Fits]

Really don't think he is worth all the fuss, or the money. Let's see.

The only source I ever listen to is the club. The rest is always taken with a major pinch of salt. Probably Owen is the exception to the rule as he keeps quiet until a deal is basically done

John Percy 's Ollie Watkins transfer interest story in the Telegraph doesn't even mention the Albion.
(Villa, Palace and Sheff United sniffing about).

Naylor in The Athletic does mention us in relation to him. When asked directly about Josh King and Watkins, he also said we are not interested in King currently, but wouldn't commit either way about Watkins.

that generally means something in it...

There might well be interest (we need a striker, Brentford are likely to sell, he's had a terrific season, Maupay connection) and Naylor would have spoken to someone at the club to confirm that but as ever twitter accounts like LTN have merely guessed whats happening to harness the likes and engagement they crave for some reason and pronounced we've "started talks". *

*they've no idea.

£25m is a big chunk of money in this current climate for someone who hasn’t played at PL level.

Obviously scored a decent amount of goals but whenever I’ve seen Brentford he hasn’t stood out above anyone else on the pitch.

I’d rather target Rico Henry if we are looking at Brentford players.

It's £18m as it is a non-promotion release clause [BBC].

Don't agree on your view on Watkins. Do agree about Henry. Looks quality.
