Sporting are also in the next round of the CL , see would be surprised if SL sold him.

 

[Macca1987]

They struggled without him last night

Same as last week on the bench. He has been carrying an injury this season.

 

[JSL]

Lets hope hes not out for long. We could do with someone buying him in the next 6 months

 

[Macca1987]

Arsenal said to be after Watkins, had a £60 million bid turned down, would that take them out of the race for Vik

What would his stats have been like if fully fit?

The appeal of Watkins over Gyokeres for Arsenal is he is proven at Premier League Level. Portugal is a mix of good and well some poor sides. Even in European competition, the standard is varied.

Most likely it will be summer before he moves so plenty of time to regain fitness before then

not an original thought, but this sell-on must have a huge impact on our transfer plans in the summer. Feels like Doug is banking big on it, so will be significant for us if he is injured.

Not according to his published words, very little impact on our purchasing power, he made it sound inconsequential last time he spoke.

Villa are selling Jhon Duran to Saudi so not a chance Watkins goes

Very hard to believe purely based on the money invovled

£5-7M I think was worked out here- not to be sniffed at obviously but not the pot of goal people seem to think. Will be relying on another deck refresh - MVE, Sheaf , Wright ? To bring in the big money.

I’d say that is quite a bit of money? Especially when we are talking defenders

 

[biggymania]

Yeah, once you consider the eventual fee Sporting might receive, calculate the % profit and convert back to GBP - it's a good chunk of change for nowt (e.g not needing to sell one of our own players) but I don't think it's comparable to the sort of money we'll likely be offered for Wright, MVE or Sheaf. Of course, all of these things could happen in which case we'd have a lot of spending to do and a lot of gaps to fill.

I think much like with us, Gyok has been playing injured for a little while and if they're resting him it must be pretty significant. Even if Sporting were previously considering a move for him this window, feels less likely now.

Or they are in advanced talks with someone and they don't want to risk him getting injured.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

If Villa lose Watkins and Duran I can see them signing Gyokeres to be honest, they’re in the CL Ro16 already and challenging for top 4. If Utd are contenders no reason Villa cant be as much as I’d hate to see it would feel a bit like seeing Dublin in a Villa shirt (to an extent)

 

[colinc]

Villa have agreed a fee of £65M to sell Duran, so unlikely they will sell Watkins as well

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I can see Vik ending up at PSG, but if he went to Villa it wouldn’t hurt as much as Dublin did as it wasn’t direct.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Unless they sell Watkins as well and get Gyokeres themselves

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Agree I meant in a sense of I hate to see him in a Villa shirt

 

[SBT]

With all disrespect to Villa, I imagine Gyokeres will want to end up at a much bigger club

Blimey - bit of a wild assumption

 

[biggymania]

I don't think so, to be honest. Their progress in the CL is vitally important to them - they'd have played him if he was fit.

Villa are negotiating with Manure to bring in Rashford on loan.
