And following on from the Mail article on Leon Bailey here is one about Ollie Watkins

“Someone big will buy Ollie Watkins - I don’t believe Aston Villa can keep him”

Watkins has taken penalties  ... And I'm sure he practises them frequently.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Has the Kylian Mbappe deal to Real Madrid fallen through? Tossers!

Honestly that rag is having a banner day. Villa ought to ban them, Ferguson-style.

Toney has missed 2 in 30, Watkins is something like a 50/50 conversion rate so I can understand the clamour to take someone for one thing. However Watkins brings more then just scoring to his game and you have to remember looking at Toney's stats that quite a few are penalty goals a season. The season he got 20 goals and Watkins got 15, six of Ivan's were pens and one for Ollie.

[The Man With A Stick]

Good old John Fashanu thinks that a ‘big’ team will buy Ollie this summer.  I Fcukin so hope we make the CL to ram some of this shit down people’s throats. Oh and our ever so loyal supporting local news site covered it.

I can't understand the logic that wouldn't take three strikers instead of two anyway. Kane + Watkins + whichever of Toney and Solanke finishes the season stronger.

Scousers had the right idea with The S*n

I seriously think I would.

The only negative would be that they'd have a vendetta against us, which they do anyway because their anti-Villa stories wind up our fans and arouse those of our lesser neighbours. They then get clicks for trash.

I would've banned them after they chose to publish that Bill Howell 'send us the bill for the seats' piece.

Let's not have any knocking of the S*n, please.

After all, little Sir Keir is happy to write for it...

Yep, like Blair, that is the audience he is brown nosing now

Treacherous ******. Absolutely none of the founding principles if the Labour Party whatsoever

Anyway, back on topic, perfect outcome today. Ollie didn't play well and wasn't injured. Hopefully he won't feature in the second pointless friendly and will be fine and good to play proper football again Saturday

I feel like he might be happier if he’d played well, so I’d rather he’d got more service.

[Duncan Shaw]

I see the national press are moaning about him, which annoys me, because he got no service.  WE can moan about him because he's ours to moan about, but they can fuck off!!!

Matt Upson was very positive about the the good things he did on the R5 Live commentary.
