Title: Villa Fans
Post by: Zendra on February 27, 2026, 10:42:03 PM
Seem to be falling  out love with Ollie Watkins.

One said they would swap him for a bag of Quavers

That's harsh. He's worth at least a Grab Bag of Doritos.

Hugely overrated , no way he's worth £30 million , his Premier League scoring record isn't really much better than his League Two scoring record , hasn't managed a score or assist in any of their Europa League games . One of the few strikers I,ve seen that consistently put themselves either in the wrong position to receive a pass or cross or he's offside , ok yes he's just short of 100 goals for Villa but how many of them were taps in or 6 yards out . This season 8 goals 1 assist from 38 total games

I'd definitely have him at Fulham, after all a goal is a goal !

I still don't know how we did that job on them when you look at the career trajectories of some of their players - and ours. Scotty's finest hour - and for that I'll be forever grateful.

He does get caught off side a lot. This could be down to the timing of his run or the timing of the pass. I think his positioning is very good. Regularly in a great position to receive the ball. For me, his weakness is his finishing. Tends to find the keeper a lot. A good player, but I agree, not worth £30m.

Yep... he is a busted flush nowadays.

He certainly causes Fulham plenty of problems every time we play them has great movement.

He clearly needs to sign up for Liverpool, then. They are not hampered by that ridiculous offside law.

Watkins is better than both of our centre forwaards, and I really rate at least one of ours.
