Ollie Watkins

[PaulWinch again]

There’s a difference between Watkins and El Ghazi though. Whatever our view of his form Watkins is rated and he would hold value much more than Anwar after his purple patch.

Emery is improving Watkins. Still a bit more to do. But it is better.

AEG's purple patch involved a lot of penos. Watkins does a lot more from general play. 6 goals, 4 assists (most since Emery came in) isn't bad and I think he'll get 12 goals at least if he stays fit before season end. I don't get why plenty on here want to sell or upgrade our better players. Duran already looks a better fit as backup/competition for Watkins too.

The others need to get the finger out and contribute more - Bailey, Coutinho, Buendia, Ramsey etc

[Drummond]

Of all players to have made 100 appearances for #AVFC since the turn of the century, only Christian Benteke and John Carew boast a better goals per game ratio than Ollie Watkins.

"It's unbelievable to play for a massive club like Villa, hopefully I've got many more to come."

I quite agree.

He’s knocking on the door of being amongst our top 10 pl goal scorers! I feel he’ll do so this season with Unai getting the best out of him as Smith did.

[Nunkin1965]

He seems to be progressing under Emery which is good. I'm pleased for the lad.

[Percy McCarthy]

Our recruitment that sumner was pretty good - Watkins, Martinez and Cash I think it was? Not so good since.

[Axl Rose]

I quite agree. 

Me, too.

That lot need an absolute rocket up them. So much talent in there.

I've been a big critic of Ollie over the last couple of seasons, but he's playing very well at the moment.  All strikers miss chances, but he just seemed to be missing far too many for me.  But right now he's playing really well and a big part of our uptic in form.  Hope he keeps it up and looking forward to seeing him link up with Big Jhon.

£12-15m for Watkins even in his drought would have been ludicrously low.

It would, especially when Newcastle supposedly paid £25m for Chris Wood.

And 70m euro for Isak.  That’s part if the issue for me, Isak might prove to be a better player but it’s not guaranteed.

It's a Wicked Game.

He will be living a Blue Hotel if he isn't successful

Edit - too slow!
