Ollie leaving would be like the Diaby transfer on steroids. The people who don’t rate him really don’t see how critical he is to us. Diaby was just ok but we can see what we’ve lost in terms of output. Ollie would be a disastrous loss.

If Duran is off to Saudi, we could see a repeat of the effect Ings going had on Ollie. He could become completely rejuvenated for the rest of the season, like a new signing!

I think Watkins would have a bit too much about him to wany to play under that the sly shit in North London.

Two assists and a goal but a dreadful display of finishing. Don't care if people don't like hearing it.

Thats our Ollie though.

If we had a defence worth a damn nobody would care about the missed chances, we'd be singing the praises of the man who just keeps scoring for us year after year after year.

Yep, and we will get criticized for saying it, but it’s true.

Work rate is massively important, you'll find people frustrated with his patchy finishing, but I'd be shocked if you found any Villa fan who didn't rate him.

We won, finished in the top 8 of the group and Ollie played a massive part in the result, don't care if people don't like hearing it.

A goal and an assist as we go into the last 16 of the Champions League. When he does go people will realise what he did do, rather than focusing on what he didn't.

Are you sure, there's 4-5 posters on here that clearly can't wait to moan about him.

Yeah but you know I’ll take him directly being involved in 3 goals if he misses some chances.
