Ollie Watkins

I'm not exactly sure every rumoured about player comes out with a statement saying they are staying.

They don’t, but this is not a rumour.

It still doesn't happen, and I'm not sure why it should.

[Villatillidie25]

It’s definitely possible but Newcastle didn’t lose anyone they didn’t want to so why should we?

[Rory]

Great reply, Kendrick.

The media don't do it to Newcastle because they buy into that whole "bestest supporters in the world" nonsense that they like to call themselves.

It's different with us.  The moment that Duran started scoring goals, they were almost affronted that we had two quality strikers and immediately started stirring up rumours and talking about Duran might need to move to be first choice. 

[Villatillidie25]

You might well be right but I suspect Newcastle fans are equally hacked off at Isak and guimaraes rumours. Journalists like transfer rumours because it sells papers and creates clicks. That doesn’t change if your villa, Newcastle or United.

Nah, that's nonsense.

All this the media hate us discourse is paranoid rubbish. We create stories, we are readable, as are a dozen other teams in the premier league.

To suspect there is some sort of conspiracy at work treating us and Newcastle differently is just small time rubbish.

[edgysatsuma89]

I agree.

[pauliewalnuts]

The time to worry is when the media, and the rest of the world, takes no notice of you.

As there been any? Has 3 minutes of a MOTD after-match discussion been on how Isak should move to Arsenal and that with an improved offer they will get him? Has their been headlines on BBC about "Arsenal Target Isak scores goal and assists in a win".

Arsenal haven’t publicly bid for Isak though. A few weeks ago there were plenty of puff pieces on how Isak would be perfect for Arsenal.

[Rigadon]

And yet, no bid for Isak.  Maybe there’s been no ‘encouragement’ that it would be worthwhile.  I think Watkins wants the move, has given that signal, and that Arsenal made the approach on that basis.  They wouldn’t be trying it on otherwise.

This went from 10-1 around 14 hours ago (which obviously I got on) to 2/1 now. No smoke without fire!

Also paddy, skybet, victor refused to entertain my market request which is strange considering they're all running transfer specials.

No, time to worry is when they get it right..lol

[PhilVill]

I think he'll go for £70 million on Monday. I hope we have a damn good plan B. Anyone but arsenal and I'd have said no chance but it's his dream so I think he'll push for it. That's only my opinion mind you but it's not really dying down is it?

They don't usually take bets on small markets over night. It also takes very very little money to move the odds in a market like this.
