Dan Rolinson and John Townley address the always relevant Ollie Watkins debate. When is the right time to cash in? Can Villa improve on that postion? If not Watkins, who could play up front for Emery?
It's not as easy to say you either love him or hate him, nor is he a brilliant footballer or a terrible one. Ollie Watkins is a great footballer who will reliably score goals and be available, but he is not without flaws.
