Where's the Neither option?

Fair point at the moment. Davis is a busted flush so why not try Archer?

Watkins linked with moves again...




Liverpool next summer

If he’s playing for a move he’s doing a pretty poor job. No way is he anywhere near good enough for Liverpool on current form.

Watkins best games this season have been playing as the centre forward. Is too obvious what needs to be done.

I was saying to the brother in law we need to bring Archer on as neither Ings or Watkins looked like a striker.  Why was Archer not even on the bench?

He was with the first team squad but not selected for the match.

Yet they found space for Davis and even El Ghazi.

It just doesn't work with both of them. Play one or the other. Simple.

Get the feeling they don’t particularly revel in each other’s playing company either.

I’d be shopping Ings to Newcastle and see if we can make a profit on him in January.

They’d be tempted I reckon and will be paying over the top in their position.

Think Brighton would be ideal for him but no idea if they'd get close to paying 30m +.

I'd keep him until the summer and look at it then.

Sort of striker we need is the Jarred Bowen. One who's happy playing out wide in front 3 and can chip in with double figures and then play as CF when Ollie isn't playing.

I do think that was club's plan but Grealish leaving scrambled minds a little and perhaps they felt Ings being offered to us was a chance we couldn't pass up which felt logical at the time.

It just won't happen for Ings and he doesn't look like he's enjoying his football at the minute - ollie tried to set him up a couple of times but I don't think this has got Withe/Shaw written all over it.
