toontownman Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Ah well. Too bad. I thought he would be decent here. Absolute waste of time. We will get someone, I mean we have to don't we? Lol 2 strikers in is a bloody pipe dream at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 We need to move on, they clearly feel they can't replace him and would rather risk reintegrating him, and we can't offer up a figure that matches the value of his goals to them. They're in a similar position to us with Isak, except with a team that drops into being relegation quality when you take away his goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Brentford’s position hasn’t changed throughout all this, he’s unavailable unless someone offers dumb money. The rest is agent guff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Time to move on. It’s going to be £50m+ to get it done and there’s no point. Think Watkins can be attainable for that. Not sure where we go now though. Loan options must be considered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 I don't even think 45m is dumb money for someone who's scored as many as he did last season. Hes our only viable option. Get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins is on the downward spiral, I think Villa have realised that they made a mistake keeping him and letting Duran go.

Adam P Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 How does this work? News of a bid goes in and then news of its refusal within an hour? Are they doing this on a Teams call with the 2 clubs? Also Downie, Jacobs, Hope, Crook, Pasta Cunt all announce offer and then Ornstein says its refused. Ornstein didnt say it was in did he? Just seems like a massive fucking ponzi scheme the whole fucking charade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 If Brentford are not even going to come back with a counter offer then move on, we haven’t got the time to get sucked in to this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t really have any reason to sell him before deadline day, is the issue. The closer it gets to the deadline without us signing a striker, the more desperate we become and more they can squeeze from us. Hopefully we have several irons in the fire here and it’ll make the potential sellers nervous about trying to get too much from us and losing the deal completely.

The Prophet Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 4 minutes ago, STM said: Its brinkmanship. We will get him. Will just take a touch more. I'm not sure. I think we saw this as a market opportunity. If the gap in valuation is too wide, I can see us looking elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
