Unai Emery confirms Ollie Watkins has told him he is happy to stay at #AVFC amid interest from Arsenal."Some players prefer to leave and some players accept to stay here and commit to Aston Villa and compete for our challenges. One of them is Ollie Watkins."
Definitely!
His tolerance for playing a lot of minutes is pretty high, he has scored numerous goals for us later on in matches so yeah, Duran coming on after 65 has definitely narrowed his horizons this season.Watkins was getting unsettled getting hauled off each game with the pressure growing from the Durán shit show. Hopefully Watkins will kick on now for the last months of the season - he certainly looks fit and focused to go on one of his 10 or so game runs of scoring.
There has been so much rubbish spoken about Ollie in this window. I don't see Emery offering him to anybody, before or after Duran exit.
Emery and Monchi have pretty much said that every player at the club has a price. Depending on the player in question, other clubs might spit their coffee out at the price, but meet it and we'll do business.
No. Nothing yet. Unai said he had to have a scan but thought it was a minor injury.Anyone heard how long he's out for, if at all.
Thank you. It's a shock him being injured.No. Nothing yet. Unai said he had to have a scan but thought it was a minor injury.
Agreed. Sods law he got injured the day after we sold Duran.Thank you. It's a shock him being injured.
He's been indestructible since we signed him and we take him for granted a bit.
