I personally would prefer Edouard, but I imagine Watkins will be cheaper and the club will have promised him a move after failing to get promoted. I'm sure him and Benhrama will both be in the Premier League this season, just for whom is the question. The main thing im taking away from watching this is that the level of goal keeping in the championship is atrocious. I honestly think I would have been able to save 60 % of those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does offer something a little different into that he offers quite a threat with his head from crosses, something we don't really have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costock_Fox Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 Can’t wait to get back into the KP for this. “That Ian Watkins guy is shit mate” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 Keen on this one. Bit of directness and instinct about him. The kind to take a bit of a gamble on. Reckon he'd be a lovely fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 There is nothing in this except a made up rumour by Sean from Enderby and a few gullible followers putting a bet on, impacting the odds. In contrast, a journalist (Rob Dorsett) suggested Villa, Palace and Sheffield United are after him, and didn't mention us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean we can't comment and give our view. There was about 600 pages about Nicky Maynard and he was never joining, was just a misunderstanding about wanting to be on a horse... there was a long thread about Arranguiz but he got angry when he didn't pronounce steering wheel correctly in whatever his language is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Nacho Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 I saw someone put 10 quid on Watkins to come here. Even something as simple as that could set the ball in motion for the odds dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Lisemore Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 Might be an unpopular opinion but I don't think he's that good. I think most strikers in the Championship would have scored just as many with Benrahma and Mbeumo pulling the strings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 He's completely unmarked for a lot of those goals. There's something to be said about getting in those positions often but in the PL you don't get that time and space like he has in that video. Looks like if Vardy played for that Brentford side in the championship he'd get 50 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Earle Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 I’m just a season ticket holder in his sixties and don’t watch that much footy not involving Leicester. But I watched Celtic’s game against Hamilton and thought Edouard was excellent, and can clearly improve. I also watched about half of the second leg of the Brentford-Fulham match, and wasn’t remotely impressed with any of Brentford’s BMW forward line. So instead of believing my own eyes, on a ludicrously small sample, I’d really like the under 19s on here to tell me which player is best, according to FM, or similar?

We'd be criticized but Ivan Toney will be a PL player and a very good one, wouldn't have minded us taking a punt on him and throwing him in. Peterborough also have Ricky Jones coming through who is getting massive hype, they might be able to use that £10m to put together a very good team that can go up and challenge for immediate promotion to the Prem. They'll be back in for Knight.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he looks decent, we were after him but £10m is too much for us in this window given we've already spent £10m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand when the player in question has shown up against the best in the country but as far as i can tell this guy looks good but is still relatively unproven. I guess i shouldnt be questioning brentfords scouting though, pretty much guaranteed to end up eating my words 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
