Watkins is a decent player but not much better if at all better than what we have. He is not a prolific goal scorer at this level. I can’t imagine we would interested in him.


I agree. His perceived value (£31.5m on Transfermarkt) is over-inflated when compared to our two central strikers, Mateta (£9m) and Edouard (£15.3m).

I agree our strikers are fine the issue is lack of service.

The likes of Wilf are suppose to provide it but more interest in the glory themselves and messing about rather then putting balls into the box.

This is the area we need new players someone who can put in balls or slip through quick balls.

What like the one Wilf played to Eze v Arsenal?

£10m seems worth paying.

The values seem to reflect more what was paid for players than anything else. Not sure how they do it. The again, Watkins is a better player than both Mateta and Edouard unfortunately.

 


Red and Blue Army!

He may be a better allround player but he is not a much better goalscorer than either which is what we need.

So that leaves, kane, salah and son. Can't belive people are turning their nose up at Watkins, would love him at palace, he does more off the ball than all three of our strikers last season put together, zaha him and olise uptop together is about as good as a club our size could dream of.

We have spent nigh on £100 Mill since Hodgson departed, accordingly unless we sell a player who commands a significant fee, I suspect we will not have the financial resources to engage in a significant spend.
In the final analysis, Vieira might not get what he believes he needs.

Where does this 10m figure come from? They paid over twice that and I can't imagine they'd let him go for anything less. Fallout or not.

I am informed that A.Villa paid £28 Mill rising to £33 Mill with add-ons.

Exactly. Making a 10m figure laughable.
