Both are good players, but Edouard isn't worth 35-40 million and Watkins isn't worth 20-25.

Watkins will go for around £20m and is worth it, scoring goals in the Championship is not that easy, also he has that one factor you like to see in a player... sell on value, as he is still young.
Not sure how much Edouard is worth, scores for fun in Scotland but not much of a benchmark when it comes to PL, probably will go for about £30m imo

I would be very surprised if we signed either in which case I am not fussy please just find someone who can score 15+ goals a season.

Thought I read somewhere Watkins has an 18m release clause (maybe non promotion related).

From what I saw last night in the Play off final he is not good enough for Palace

Edouard is better, more physically built so more likely to be able to withstand Premier rigours.

But prob at leat 10mill more than Watkins. But two important factors.

1. Watkins I think has more clubs interested in him.

2. Celtic are keen on McCarthy so we could use him in an exchange to try to lower the cash price.

We already have a few players who 'can' score 15 goals plus . Wether the do or not is another matter

I know Watkins has scored a lot, but look at his goals [Link] 80/90% of them are scored in the 6-yard box and are either simple headers or tap ins. I have not seen him play in all honesty, but he would not get the chance to score 15+ tap ins in the PL in one season, I'm pretty sure of that.

They seem easy, but he is mobile enough to get there before the defenders. He is a good player, started as a winger but proved himself as a center forward too, ideal for a mid-table team which needs regrouping and hard work too.

Just that English leagues prices are so inflated....20 million+ is too much money.

I don’t know much about Edouard but have seen Watkins play live as well as the Brentford TV games at the end of the season.
I’m not convinced.
He can be dominated by his markers and has no real outstanding attributes in terms of pace, dribbling or heading.
He scored a lot of goals last season, but this is partly due to the amount of chances Brentford create and he is their only out and out striker on the end of those chances.
I like Benrhama and Pinnock but I suppose that doesn’t help when considering strikers.

This is what Palace fans would like to see...but it's probably wishful thinking

I think Brentford have been poor ever since they had the chance to take 2nd place.

If big games get to them, then how is Watkins going to cope in the PL. If Brentford are asking big money, then not worth it.

Wouldn't it be nice if these people who write this stuff at least check their facts - no way we paid anywhere near £8m for McCarthy.

What would be nice is he was valued at that in any swap deal !

Given that he has now proved his fitness I see no reason why he wouldn't be valued at 8 million. How much did we pay for Kouyate, as that is a fair indication of what it will cost to replace him.
