He did get plenty of chances and each time got injured, In fact it was the second time johnson signed Watkins having signed him for barnsley I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Always gave 100% on the pitch and weighed in with goals. But one of those weird signings from the LJ era who we spent money on (was it about 1 million?) but was never deemed good enough to be a regular starter.

pride of the west Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 As fevs says Cardiff are just doing him a favour. Can you imagine the carnage on their forum if they sign him after believing they were in for Bale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDziek Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I thought Watkins did well when he played for us, particularly on the right of a 4 in midfield. Solid and unspectacular. And unlucky with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I thought Watkins was limited but effective in certain types of games and offered something a bit different. He wasn’t at the standard we need, and nor is he at a standard for Cardiff but I think there are League One or even lower end Championship sides where he would be a decent signing.

This is fair comment. But seeing as he started 12 times in 3 seasons for us (and a few more as sub) I'm not inclined to be fair - apart from a decisive goal against Sheffield Utd, he was a monumental waste of money and can **** off.

Not all down to him though. Johnson brought him into the squad for a couple of games, where he did well, was then missing from the squad completely. Only to pop up as a starter agains later on. Johnson was fond of this type of thing, almost like he forgotten he'd bought something only to remember later and start playing with it again. TBH when he joined us, although he did seem to have a back for goals, I honestly question if he'd ever played football before. He would have been handy to have last year when he was another casualty of our special relationship to fitness & injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
