Well done Ollie on becoming our record pl goalscorer at VP.
Been here since 2020 and all he's got from the fans is a pathetic du du chant. Rashford has only been at VP for literally minutes and already has a song with actual words!

A reworked version of Duran’s.

I love Ollie but he's missed 19 big chances this season. More than anyone in the division. His finishing hasn't been good enough.

That was definitely sung with gusto at Palace last May!

Big chances missed in that stat is not what you think it is.

Quote
A big chance opportunity when the player does not get a shot away, typically given for big chance attempts where the player shooting completely misses the ball (air shot) but can also be given when the player has a big chance opportunity to shoot and decides not to, resulting in no attempt occurring in that attack.

Granted he has had some air shots, but most are him passing or checking back and then either someone else loses it or the defender gets in the way.

Well that's a ridiculous stat. What's the point in counting the amount of times someone doesn't shoot?

Watkins misfires hits the keeper or hits it wide.

Has a goal contribution in 42% of our premier league goals over the last 3 seasons

Haaland is at 40%

Salah is at 43%

Isak is at 28% (albeit with more injuries than the other 3)

I’d snap your hands off for a more prolific striker than Ollie and think the summer is probably the last chance to get a decent fee for him. Not sure how much it’s going to cost us though, if we do cash in.

Who are we going to get with a bigger contribution of goals than Watkins. Scoring and assists?

We should only sell if he wants to leave.

I think he wanted to leave last month.  I take your point though about his contribution.

I'm not sure he wanted to leave last month. He would have said so especially with Arsenal wanting him. He may fancy a new challenge next season though.
