Ollie Watkins

[Brend'Watkins]

Having pored over some of the Brentford fans forums there appears to be a unanimous view that Wilkins is the best striker they have ever had. They say he has skill but is also a prodigious worker and generally good bloke.  Sure we’ve coughed up but he might just turn out to be the centre forward we have craved for years, possibly since JPA

That's very encouraging. If by the end of the season we are saying similar we will have someone special. Let's hope he will be coveted by ManU et al by the end of the season such is the way of things.

Has he done the "delighted to be joining a massive club and I've always respected the gaffer and I want to show the fans what I'm capable of" interview yet?

The right attitude is key to success, and from the sounds of it, he's has got that.

Benteke?

Oops!

Yes, pretty much word for word!

Has any player, for any club, ever given an interview on signing similar to the Mourinho arrival at Chelsea? As in "I'm special, I'll work hard, but you're lucky to have me"?

I'd love to see something like that!

Richard Dunne went close - in a different way.

"Richard, why have you joined Aston Villa?"

Dunne: "Because Manchester City sold me."

Love at first bite.  He was motivated to prove them wrong in his first season, it seems.  After that, not so much.

Zlatan must have surely?  something like: I'm here. you're welcome.

Sometimes a picture says so much more than words ever could:

There's a bit of background to that here: https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2019/march/woodys-story/

But Ollie comes across as a good 'un.

Ray's brother?

I still find it hard to believe that Butch coached for us and that he is now dead.

How much would Exeter's annual budget be? Have we propped them up for another year while also paying for half of Brentford's new stadium? I hope they remember this altruism if we draw either of them in the cups.

Exeter City FC posted a loss of more than £700,000 for the year ending June 30, 2019, the club’s annual accounts have revealed.

Turnover for the period was £4,079,870, down 2.5 per cent on the prior year, which the club have put down to the involvement that the Grecians had in the play-offs the previous season.

So £4.2m will be very welcome to them.

6m on Premier League Fantasy Football? I'm having some of that.

He has joined Aguero and Kane in my top class 3 man forward line with Grealish backing them up from midfield.

What a great signing for the Villa and a lovely young man, by the films I have seen about his personal support for the Exeter fans.

Welcome Ollie!
