When he's been described as 'Aston Villa's goal machine' it causes one to wonder how reliable the source is.
I say that as a Watkins advocate, not one of Smirker's accolytes.

I'm not sure how much Watkins is on, but I imagine it's up there at the top around the £150k pw mark, which is what 9m EUR is roughly.

Why would he swap a 2 year deal here in the Premier League, for a 3 year deal over there on the same money?

Not even close to the same money, he's been offered €138,461 a week AFTER tax.

A weekly wage of one hundred and fifty thousand of your Great British Pounds would see him paying 45% tax (plus NI). That's £82,500 a week before NI.
Wow -and with all those kids to feed.  No wonder his heads turned.

Last I heard he still has the two, if he and his wife have since added a new one to the family we should 100% get rid. Every time they have a baby his form turns to mush.

They're trying to get the natives excited. Source has over 2.1 million followers on X but the main site is a portal covering every type of news.

Watkins isn't going to Turkey. Fenerbahce have bid 40M for Greenwood.

Just wait until Dogtanian sees his haircut. It will be love at first sight. Or not.

I just checked with my sister. No sign of another on the way - she saw his other half sinking a vino last week!
