Manchester United are making moves to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, and I've got a lot to say about it, matey.
Watkins to Manchester United?
The Red Devils are eyeing up Watkins as their new number nine, but they need to sell some players first. Villa want £60million for him, which is a bloody joke if you ask me. The bloke's 29 and scored 50 goals in the last three seasons. Big whoop.
United's Striker Struggles
Manchester United have been utter shite in front of goal, with Hojlund and Zirkzee scoring just four and three league goals each last season. Ruben Amorim wants to keep Zirkzee and sell Hojlund. Good luck with that, mate.
Garnacho to Villa?
Alejandro Garnacho could be on his way to Villa, with Gabby Agbonlahor backing the move. The kid's got potential, but he needs to sort out his crossing and decision-making. Villa would be a good fit for him, but United are taking liberties by letting him go.
Watkins' Record
Ollie Watkins has been decent for Villa, scoring 75 goals and 36 assists in 184 Premier League appearances. But is he really worth £60million? I don't think so, mate. Simon Jordan reckons he's not good enough for Arsenal, and I agree. He's not going to win you major honours.
In conclusion, this whole transfer saga is a load of bollocks. Manchester United are desperate for a striker, but they're not going to solve their problems by overspending on Watkins. Garnacho could be a good signing for Villa, but United should be keeping hold of their young talent, not flogging them off to mid-table clubs. The beautiful game has gone mad, and I'm sick of it.
