Quote from: Rudy Can't Fail on Today at 05:11:39 PMQuote from: Dogtanian on Today at 05:01:30 PMI'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.

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.
NEW: Aston Villa have Sevilla’s Rubén Vargas (27) on their shortlist. @Canvazmar
