Combined 36 goals and 28 assists vs Ratboy 6 goals and 10 assists. That's excluding Watkins. I think we have played a blinder.I'm really pissed off with Greasy Ratboy, but I wouldn't say it's really fair to compare one player's output with three!Indeed, we've bought really well - but adding the stats up from three players and comparing them to one player, only really works if we can start playing with 13 on the field.It's like signing three goalkeepers who between them had more clean sheets than Emi, and then insisting we're therefore better off without him.Best way is to take the combined Grealish/El Ghazi/Barkley stats and compare with Ings, Bailey and BuendiaNot sure how they stack up, but suspect there are more goals and assists there.

Just hoping the team doesnt take too long to gel.
What if you swap Barkley for Watkins in the comparison ?

Salernitana on Sunday now instead, but closed doors. I have just bought my viewing ticket. The interview with Dean is disappointing as I wanted Michelle to ask Dean about future transfers, when does Bailey rock up, how are Traore and Sanson coming on with their fitness, does he anticipate a shift of formation etc. She may have asked all those questions of course but we only get 10 minutes.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗩𝗙𝗖 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗳𝘂𝗹 @AVFCFaithful_Dean Smith intends to use Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings as a pair in attack, as part of either a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 formation, while he has also been considering a midfield diamond with Buendia at its point. [@TomCollomosse] #avfcI'm not sure about 4-4-2 in this day and age, and 3-5-2 is obviously the devil's formation. 4-1-3-2 for me.
