Fake news, can't have been him. First shot was on target and second went over the line! ;)

Unfortunately, Wilson showed him up today in terms of how to finish. An easy one for Southgate if he's deciding between the two.

There are mitigating circumstances but it can’t be denied that Watkins is regressing each season.

Can't imagine any scenario where Southgate has Watkins as an option for a world cup, where chances to score are maybe even less frequent than in the league he is already stinking out with his finishing. 

I don't think Wilson is much better either as it goes.  Slightly less shit in front of goal.

His record for Newcastle overall is 1 in 2 and half of that was with Steve Bruce as manager.

Pretty sure he will be sold this summer - not an Unai type forward at all

Who do you reckon would want him? Can't see us getting back near what we paid.

Fulham maybe? Moyes likes busy forwards aswell even if they can't finish to could offer him to West Ham as I assume he'll want to move back down to London.

I expect he'll be loaned out next season. I hope 2 new strikers will be in by then.
