Do we get any promotion bonus/add-on for Onomah?

Me too always had a soft spot for them and love Craven Cottage as a ground. Delighted for Parker and Onomah

I’ve been to a function there as well as a football match. Lovely part of London as well, would be very happy to live there, but it’s far too expensive!

And would you take Dwight Gale and Matt Richie back in the day too?
Neither, Benrahma or Watkins looked like top PL players today. I haven't watched enough, but I didnt see anything today to suggest they will buck the trend on high scoring, and high performing Championship players, not able to match the level in the PL.
Watkins in particular, being his first big season, and knowing how much Championship goals matter, not sold. He wouldn't be given the space to turn like he is in th Championship.

It will be interesting to see who Fulham sign over the summer as they’ve got a very similar squad to when they struggled last time round and were relegated.
Parker looks a very promising manager... excellent tactical awareness.
The EPL however is a completely different ball game.

Read somewhere that Watkins has £18m release clause.

They’ll make decent signings for someone but I really don’t think they’re players Jose will have any interest in. With Hojbjerg almost done and the names we’re being linked with, seems like we’re after players who are physically and mentally strong.

Watkins looks more like Palace quality to me.

Probably for the best that Brentford didn’t go up, from a financial perspective.
Yes, promotion is worth about 150 million, but they would have had to strengthen, and their income would have been much lower with it being unlikely that fans will be in stadiums next season.
They would have almost certainly been relegated and that could be catastrophic to them.
Fulham financially better placed for what’s ahead of them.
Can see Watkins somewhere like Palace or Brighton. Don’t think he’s ready for a top 8 club.

To be fair Watkins didn’t get any good service. We should make a bid for him. He would be excellent cover for Kane and could play with him. Quality player and knows how to score.
