Ollie Watkins

[Drummond]

See, I just can't get on board with the response to my complaint to the restaurant manager that there was rat piss on my lunch being, 'well, there's d0gshit on the salad at the place next door'.

So what you're saying is that you'd rather chance your arm with a d0gshit salad.

I like Boozey's take: thoughtful and empathic; not seeking to criticise.
And here's another thought: who, over these last 7-8 years, might we have had as a central striker that would have served us so well? - not just in terms of on-pitch contribution but also as a club ambassador. I meet many fans of other clubs who praise Ollie and see him as emblematic of our journey from mediocre second-tier to comfortable Chumps League level.
All of which is not to say that his days are not numbered: I think he'll head off to a newly-promoted team in the summer (unless he has an unlikely England epiphany), and he'll leave with enormous fondness and kudos from most people associated with the club.

Honestly, no-one here has anything but praise for Ollie Watkins' service to the club, work-ethic, professionalism OR ability throughout his time at Villa. His career is an example to anyone who aspires to better themselves. He's been a wonderful player... Just not so much nowadays.
