Ollie Watkins

[PaulWinch again]

Well done Ollie, well deserved.

[tomd2103]

Yep, great news for him.  Hope he gets the opportunity to show what he can do.

[West Derby Villan]

Deserved International Recognition. Well done Ollie, you’re in the squad now, let your feet and willingness to work hard prove your worth there’s no rush, your time will inevitably come

[Scovilla]

Very happy for him. Well deserved. Just provide him a good left winger like jack on the right side and we will be fine for a long time.
Well down Dean to bring to villa. I fucking love our club.
UTV.

[Scovilla]

Sorry my spelling is shit. Too much beer tonight.

If your looking at it objectively Bamford is unlucky but I guess he’s looking at the future by picking Ollie.

Surprised Bamford did not also get called up - as he has scored more goals but Southgate judges his players on their work rate for the team

I don't think Bamford is good enough. But his shithousery is first class which might actually work at international level.

Patrick Bamford is basically having his Marcus Stewart season, and will be plying his trade in the Championship again with two seasons.

[aj2k77]

Bamford is a soft, cheating, fuck.

Smith copped some flack for raiding Brentford but taking Konsa and Watkins has proved excellent business.

Southgates judgement on players isn't exactly the best barometer.....see Grealish, Jack. Or even Konsa of late.

Think Bamford's hold up play, particularly his first touch, is a level above Watkins. Ignore the histrionics he brings and he's a fine player let's be honest. Better suited to playing at a higher level than he was in the championship.  Watkins is tougher,  runs the channels a lot better and is quicker. But I'm quite surprised he got selected based on his recent form for us.

Probably means Brentford get another few quid out of us too. Well done Ollie, deserved call up.

His call up will most likely be the trigger that takes it from £28m to £30m (if I’ve remembered figures correctly)
But at the same time his value will almost certainly have doubled

[kippaxvilla2]

£33m I think.
