So, thatās Ollie Watkins, Tyrone Mingsā¦
Wonder whoās going to be next to feel the wrath of this managerial great.
Would anyone take him here?
Ollie Watkins? I would a year ago if Jesus wasnāt available.
Not sure where he fits now and Villa will still require quite a fee for him.
In reality who does Watkins improve. Not doing any better than Villa really.
I think he would do well at Chelsea. I donāt think heāll ever be reliable scorer but he does lots of work off the ball and his movement is always dangerous.
He would do better than Havertz up top, I think.
Tbf, thereās plenty of strikers out there that can do better than Havertz up top.
Watkins can play out-wide as well play as the nominal forward. For Ā£30mā¦no thanks. Loan with an option to buyā¦ 
He would be a good shout for West Ham if they didnāt buy Scamacca.
His technical ability is just Laca with legs but nothing football nous wise. He is just bog standard with little technical level.
Watkins just hasnāt grown from that first season at Villa which looked respectable. 26 Years old now. He is what he is.
Think Dean Smith used him better though.
Be interesting to see how Ivan Toney pushes on.
I would have if Nketiah didnāt sign the contract.
Big blow for them
I think people shouldnāt be too harsh on Gerrard for losing to Palace but itās already a pretty rocky relationship there.
Lose the next 3 and heāll be under serious pressure.
Heāll be gone. 3 points out of 18 (from the start of the season) would put them firmly in the relegation zone.
I still think Dean Smith sacking was harsh even with the losing run. The window was not good and they were crap under Gerrard too he had to get Coutinho to dig himself out of that hole.
I think it was literally only the new manager bounce, a few games, that kept their heads above water in the end.
Thereās every chance Deano could have done the same with them.
I liked it when the shameless cunt got his team to game raise v Man City on the last day but, ultimately, to no avail.
Lol. Villa were the highest spenders in Europe from the time they were promoted in the PL till the time Smith got sacked.
The guy is a Championship coach, letās be real.
Theyāve got one of the best squads in the league and they look nothing like it. I bet you most PL managers would love to have the Villa squad than theirs, and I reckon they would do better with it too.
Promoted teams spend a lot of money.
Most in Europe in like 3 seasons.
And it wasnāt like Villa had a bad team when they came up either, like Forest genuinely did.
Letās not excuse Smith here for not being good either.
Thereās a reason he ended up at Norwich and trust me, he aināt coming back to the PL anytime soon.
Wasnāt excusing him I even bought up he went on a losing run. You got a comprehension problem.
