Ollie Watkins

[Demitri_C]

Last season we had diaby luiz bailey and ollie contributing goals and assists. Two of those players have gone, baileys on terrible form so i do think there might be element of the extra pressure on ollie.

No question  we need other players helping out. Barkley at least is trying

[Percy McCarthy]

I think there's more pressure on Ollie this year, due to players like Bailey not scoring, so his misses are amplified more.

Yep. The only one making up for the Diaby/Luiz goals is Ollie’s understudy.

Need Rogers and Bailey (when fit) to step up. Oh, and Ramsey to rediscover his 22/23 form. McGinn looks like he might help out from that 10 position he’s playing lately.

Jesus Christ we’ve got some good players.

His misses being howlers hasn't helped. Hopefully he's fit for tomorrow as he a decent record against Forest.

Ollie’s thread was higher up the page so I’ve put this here. Great fun, and funny how irate Matty gets in the end:

Nothing special in this interview, with a nice reference to Deano:

The 54th best player in the world, apparently.

Ha! I'm pleased for him. He's done incredibly well to have the career he has.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

 I wonder if Arsenal will sniff round him in the January window now Saka's out injured for ages?

[LeeB]

I wonder if Arsenal will sniff round him in the January window now Saka's out injured for ages?

You would think having Sterling on loan is decent cover for that situation.

He's injured too.

Not exactly like for like but it would not surprise me if he signs for them.

[edgysatsuma89]

Seriously? In January? Not a chance.

[Nunkin1965]

I'd say an Ollie sale in the Summer maybe but not January?
Could be an interesting one though.

[edgysatsuma89]

In the summer, if he Duran cements the no.1 spot, then yeah, I can see it happening.
