Ollie Watkins

[Dogtanian]

It definitely IS a competition. I will have to take another break now and see if it invokes Cthulhu.

I think we've been linked with him...

I don’t know who people are expecting us to buy to replace him. Where it also makes it worth our while from a financial point of view. Absolute madness. The closest we have to irreplaceable at the moment, along with Emi.

That's my view too. Nobody's completely irreplaceable, but if he left the one proper striker we've had for three years and main source of goals is gone. All the players used to basing their games around getting the best out of him and knowing instinctively what runs he's making etc have got to learn to play with somebody else. And we have to hope that the new bloke whoever it is can chip in with getting on for a mixture of 30 goals/assists from the word go.

Our attacking options even minus Ollie include Duran, Diaby, Bailey the returning Buendia and Rogers.

Any three from five of that lot would cause most teams problems. And it's pretty nailed on we'd be in the market for a more orthodox forward if we did move on St Oliver.

Fcuk about too much with the midfield and we don't have the supply line for that lot and we also get overrun defensively as we did way too often in the last third of the season.

If there's a missfire up top, fine. Just create more chances. Missfire in the middle of the park and you lose control of the game.

Good in the air but prone to ill-discipline, I've heard.

[Sexual Ealing]

I think we should sell him.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think we should sell him.

How much for?

When I first met the great john e many moons back he was not having Gabby at all, and this was when he was in his pomp.

I thought it was funny but a bit mad at the time, but he was right.

He was a speed merchant with no technical ability really
But still good enough to bag a good few goals

I’ve always had a problem with players who aren’t comfortable with the ball and struggle to control it
Having said that Gabby gave me some of the best days I’ve ever had in my life over at the sty

You don't get much change out of £50m for a player like Cthulhu.

[trinityoap]

Does he play for Mythos?

[Dogtanian]

He’s powerful and has a strong, almost fanatical support. But he does tend to go to sleep for long stretches and gets caught out.

Welcome back CD.

[cdbearsfan]

Worried we had re-signed Curtis Davies then, phew. Thanks 🙂

[Ian.]

Yeah, those were the days, selling your best centre half and buying Davies or Zat Knight!

“ As a result he has scored 41 goals in 84 games under the Spaniard. It is part of the transformation of the entire squad since Emery's arrival.”

I’m not sure I‘d read that before. Great stat.

Sell him
