Football Daily · MNC: Ollie Watkins’ future & why aren’t Premier League teams ready · 24 Aug 2026 podcast

He's 30, he's

Uh he's pushing on in age.

He's he potentially has a huge offer from Saudi Arabia, which would be amazing for himself and his family.

So I think you can understand, reading between the lines, you can understand from the players' point of view might he why he might actually want to p pursue this offer.

But obviously it's not great that the manager's sort of throwing him under the bus.

He's done very well for Villa in the past.

So yeah, it's a bit of a messy situation to start the season for Villa again.

Who's who

It isn't on a whole, but do you not think from the player's point of view, from Ollie Watkins sitting at home thinking what he's done for the club, the relationship he has with the manager, do you not think he's thinking, wow, the manager's actually gone in public and thrown me under the bus here?

But he's I mean

Probably probably in a way, but I think it's more his age and the opportunity he's got.

Will he get that opportunity again?

I think he feels that if I let this offer go, I may not it may not come again.

So it's probably a bit of both.

Everyone's leaving at the same time.

He has a nice offer.

Yeah, I think it's all rolled into one and it's all c come to a head for for Aston Villa and Ollie Watkins.

But he's playing in the best league in the world.

No, I'm not I'm not dispute I'm not disputing that and I'm not siding with him for one reason.

I'm trying to get in his head and see what he's thinking.
