He’s an Arsenal fan too right?
At least he wouldn’t score against us at the Emirates anymore
£60m on a 29 year old just seems really really implausible.
I don’t even subscribe to the whole age argument and don’t mind spending big on older talent but the club literally have eyes on a 21 year old striker available for a similar fee in the summer this just seems a bit of a silly rumour.
He is and would’ve been a great signing a few seasons ago but at his age 60m too much.
I like him. I think he’ll do well here if he comes. But it feels a bit desperate, if true.
I agree in general. The one thing that gives me a little pause is that with Edu gone there really isn’t a strong character in the recruitment department to stand up to Arteta if Mikel really pushes hard for this kind of player. Managers tend to be focused on the short term and you need strong sporting directors to make sure the medium to long term interests of the club are looked after too.
Easy clicks, that’s all it is
This one and even the Retegui rumour sound more plausible purely for the fact that they’re actual strikers, which despite not being my preference (I prefer a wide forward), it seems to be what the club has been looking at.
Yep
I hate this.
I will shut my mouth for now but if this happens, Arteta…
If you don’t say what you have to say now you can’t say i told you so later
Watkins now, Sesko in the summer. Let’s fucking go.
I mean, people wanted the club to act, they’re going for a proven striker that’s punished us a fair few times in the past when we faced him.
This is a statement that they’re not writing the season off and are going for it.
You’ve got to think Watkins will do everything he can do endorse this move. It’s his last chance to join his dream club.
£60m and you.spend it on Watkins?!
Wtf
Both their strikers have had their heads turned. Hilarious.
Next time don’t tell Ornstein that Villa ain’t big enough for both Duran and Watkins, you cunts.
Not a chance Villa let watkins and Duran leave this window
