Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

I really like Watkins and really want him, but I’m a bit concerned at that price tbh. It adds an awful lot of pressure on the lad, hopefully the lack of fans let’s him settle easier.

Remember this though, he got the same amount of goals as Tammy without a single set piece, all from open play... and we’d of all bitten Chelsea’s hand off to have Tammy for this fee, so fingers crossed he is as good as we all hope.

Hells bells that’s a lot of money. But come on Villa get it across the line then onto the next one.

I like having my pants pulled down, as long as its done correctly and by the right person. As to Olly I'm thrilled that Exeter are set for a gigantic windfall, it's what richer clubs should be doing anyway, as a matter of course.

agreed mr underhill, delighted for Exeter.

I'm delighted at the outbreak of socialism on here!

For fucks sake Villa,spend so money!





Not that much FFS!

[Nunkin1965]

Excited by this signing and absolutely fantastic for Exeter City.
If he picks up 10+ goals for us this season then it will have been worth the huge fee.

Haha exactly!

Brentford have taken us to the cleaners with the price but getting turned down by Wilson has meant we seem to have blinked first.

Not complaining though. We despereately need a striker (or two)

[eamonn]

So are we limited by FFP in what we can spend or not (salaries aside)? I'm confused.

Last week Wolves paid £35m for a 19-year old who has played more youth games than senior games. At least Watkins knows the language and the English game.

FFP has been relaxed this season hasn't it?

Jonathan Percy has confirmed it now.

Very good point, that.

Seems only yesterday that value for money was a vital consideration in this season's signings because FFP.

But as for Watkins, he's a good player, we've overpaid but I'm glad we signed him.
