Got my first comment on the BBC transfer feed - some dickhead Everton fan was holding forth about Watkins being the most overpriced signing ever.

Really?
Sigurdsson - 45m
Iwobi - 34m
Moise Kean - 25m
Tosun - 27m
Mina - 27m

How did they work out then?

That's without including what they paid Wayne Rooney!

It’s possible this deal took longer because of the sell on fee owed to Exeter. Brentford will have had a net valuation that they wanted met. If in the end we helped out a smaller club like Exeter and ultimately we got the player we wanted then it was worth the wait.

Iwobi - 34m

They mentioned this in the Guardian piece about Everton's prospects for 2020/21, describing the fee as "scarcely believable".  I looked up his stats and realised that "scarcely believable" is an understatement.

Welcome Ollie, please be good.

I've been getting stick off glory hunting mates about spending all this money on someone they'd never heard of. Given he was Championship player of the year I think that says more about their ignorance than anything else. One of them is an Arsenal "fan" so I said less than half the price of Pepe but hopefully better.

How does one change their user name in honour of our most expensive striker who will undoubtedly be the best striker we've ever had?  The last user name change I made was for the signing of N'Zogbia.  Now that I'm over the shitness of the shit jacket waste of space I feel I should Watkins-ize my user name.  Anyway, I forgot how I did it.

Wonder how much he'll cost in the fantasy football. I'm struggling for decent strikers in that. I've got Keinan Davis FFS.

Thinking the same, worth a punt if he's in the £5-6m bracket.

the last thing the guy needs is a bunch of fan 'boys' appropriating variations on his name. It's tempting fate I tell you!

Best of british luck ollie. In 5 years time may we find you with 100+ goals, sleeping in a pile of 50 pound notes  and with a ridiculous WAG in tow, rather than in the priory between dogging adventures and fights with weathergirls

Yes, don't get clinical depression because there are plenty who would blame you for it.
