Brentford have signed Ivan Toney this summer, who is a prolific scorer at League One level - we'll see if he can step up.
Likewise with Watkins and the step up to the Premier League.

Sour grapes there matey - people said that when they sold Maupay and Andre Gray.
They keep finding rough diamonds polishing them up and shipping them on and their side still keeps getting better.
They signed Watkins for £1.8M from league 2 Exeter two years ago as a winger and have just sold him for £28M after one season as a (very successful) championship striker.
Would bloody love us to do a bit of business like that. Zohore deal was decent but fortunate and pales in comparison.
Brentford could make £60M in profit before the window closes and still have a side with a chance of competing at the top end of the Championship and a brand new stadium to boot.
Incredibly well run club and most importantly of all they hate QPR

they have done fantastic business for a few years now.
but only so many times you can get away with selling your better players and finding cheaper lower league replacements that just fit in..
