Ollie Watkins

[UK Redsox]

Is Watkins the first former Weston-Super-Mare player that Villa have signed ?

We also had an argument about whether we were definitely getting relegated a couple of months ago.

Yes we did.  What's your point?

That you were wrong then and just as likely to be wrong now.

Jesus wept.  Grow up.

Delighted with this one.  Welcome Ollie, please be great.

Endless tantrums about endless aspects of the club and I'm the one who has to grow up?

Good news.  Welcome Ollie, please be 10 times better than the last striker we got from Brentford.

Yes, and as quickly as possible please.

Good news.  Welcome Ollie, please be 10 times better than the last striker we got from Brentford.

Or any of our current strikers.

[Gary Penrice]

Welcome to the Villa Ollie.....happy with this signing! Now on to the next one!

Yes, and as quickly as possible please.

If growing up entails having to constantly moan about just about everything I'll give it a miss.

Quite. If he’s 10 times better than Hogan he will be. I’m hoping he’s the best striker we’ve ever signed but 10 times better than Hogan should at least make him decent.

Welcome Ollie - be great.

[JUAN PABLO]

he scored as many goals as Norwich last season .

Alright, tell me what is so incorrect, intolerable or outrageous about what I said here that's prompted this outburst.

"Didn't we have this exact argument last year?  I thought at the end of the season just gone there was consensus that we erred too far towards potential + inexperience and badly needed a few experienced heads.  So far we've spent what £43M+ on two lads with no PL experience whatsoever.  Okay, you lose money on older players with no resale value but that's not why you're buying them.  You're buying them because the team - particularly the inexperienced lads - needs them.  In fact, you really shouldn't be buying one without the other and I fully expect us to bring in a couple before the end of the window."

What's so infuriating about that that's made you lose your shit this morning?

I have complete security in the knowledge of the location of my shit.

Let's just leave it.
