Ollie Watkins

I can't make my mind up. Would be interested to read a bit more on the topic if anyone has any strong opinions either way. Smirker, how do you feel about this issue?

Scottish rascal, you.

The “we don’t score enough goals” thing is just nonsense. We started the season without scoring for 4 games. Once we’ve got going we’ve done fine.

Good point, if you ignore the games we didn't score enough goals then we've actually scored enough goals.

We're 3rd in the league.

Imagine where we'd be if we had a striker who scores goals.
Imagine where we'd be if we had a defence that didn't concede goals, works both ways

Don’t upset the ego Watkins, by signing a potential replacement - we need him to be our main striker he is not happy when his place in the team is under threat

Hope he gets back to his best firm this weekend

That would be crazy, we need another striker, as much as I love Ollie, he’s carrying an knock and out of form and Malen isn’t a front man. I don’t believe Ollie thinks that way anyway, it’s some made up internet nonsense, he’d want us to challenge and to do that we need a fit centre forward.

So what is his injury problem/ knock or whatever?

I do find it a little strange that he continues to play but is apparently injured and has been in for months now.

Some cyst on his knee was reported a couple of weeks back. Not sure that explains his poor hold up play on Sunday, mind.

If it is something like that , which is either inoperable or an operation would take him out of the game for several weeks/ months .
Either way this is seriously undermining any chance he has of going to the World Cup.
It’s a bit odd that there is no communication from the club.

The cyst and him carrying an injury came from the club I thought.

He's been playing in pain since the Euros, it is a cyst and his playing minutes and training are managed by the club.
