Probably wrong but I don't see all the fuss about bananarama from Brentford, yeah he's got skills, but he also goes missing when not in the mood, I like Watkins but he'll struggle in the premiership, lacks pace and physicality, the player I'd take of Brentford is Pontius Jansson, a leader in defence that we need., and I'd still bin deano because he's not going to improve us, and no another season of his pish-poor tactics will be embarrassing, why not make a bold statement of intent and bring in someone with premiership experience, Dyce, Howe etc.

82, I can see what your saying about Watkins mate, about his physicality, but I think that would improve over time, like it has with Jack Grealish, he is a much stronger presence now than he was.
I would make a reference to Alan Clarke of Leeds Utd, he was turned down by Villa back in the sixties, because he was classified by Villa as being too small, look what he went on to achieve.
A great player and finisher, IMO.

Watkins would be a good signing. Improving year on year, pacey, strong and knows where the goal is. Plus he can play centre forward or out wide, so essentially 2 players in 1.
£18m or however much is the going rate nowadays and he's already acclimatised to the English game in, what is, one of the toughest leagues in the world. So you get none of the "can't handle the pace of the game " you do with foreign imports.
Maybe a risk, but life is just one big risk and if you never try you never know.

Not really seen a lot of watkins if i'm honest. Looks quite decent in what I have seen but I just get a bit jittery when we sign the in form championship strikers ( Mcfatface, Hogan) if you get my drift. I would rather we went out and splashed the cash to get Tammy in.

I know what you mean SV, I do like Watkins from what I have seen of him, but yes that worry is always going to be there mate.
Tammy would be great, his bed is already made for him, so he could move in effortlessly, and help cement our place in the premiership.
