Think you're asking too much tbh.

We panic bought last year in Zohore and Austin.
Like it or not they're on our books. As a business man you can understand the principle of checks and balances.

We could use them or HRK or possibly all three as makeweights for Watkins. I doubt however that Brentford would be that impressed given their recruitment policy.

It's a logjam which will only start shifting as we approach the deadline.

IMO we should pay 18m for Watkins. He's young, hungry and barring serious injury his value can only go up.

Whether he'd want to come to us is another matter.

They might want even more
