Ollie Watkins

[cdbearsfan]

I've just read Ollie has 82 goals in 201 games for Villa which is not far short of one in two and better than I thought.

It would have been more if he hadn't cunningly missed a few chances on Wednesday to ensure that we'd avoid Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man City in the playoffs, too. What a bloke.

He didn't miss. He aimed in a different direction.....

Thanks Ollie 👍🏼

[Toronto Villa]

Emery took Ollie off at HT because he felt a slight muscle injury. Of course he fucking did. One the fittest and most durable players we have gets a possible muscle injury the minute Duran leaves. So very Aston Villa.

Maybe if he had used Duran a bit more, we might still have 2 fit centre forwards.

[Rigadon]

I genuinely can’t remember him ever having been injured before now.  It really is outrageously typical.

Hahaha.

Yes because Durán clearly has moved to play football and not for the bathtubs full of cash.

You think him sitting on the bench had nothing to do with it?

I think Watkins has played 9 games in a month I think since Newcastle. Duran was available for some of those, appreciate he might well have been acting up in training.

He was first choice until he got himself sent off. He wanted to leave in the Summer. I would say it played very little part at all. I think he thought he should start every match, but he still didn’t want to play for us.

It's funny he's gone to the one Saudi club that already has a prolific goal scorer and big personality. He'll still be the little fish.

I'm struggling this morning 😜

Wolves (0.5), Celtic, West Ham, Monaco, Arsenal, Everton, West Ham (cup), Leicester, Brighton

Anyway it wasn't sustainable, Duran could have started against Monaco for one, from memory Ollie was very flat that night. Despite all his misses, Ollie worked like a trooper v Celtic so no surprise mr durable finally broke down last night.

We also know he didn’t particularly want to play for us.
