Personally, i’d like us to acquire Patrick Schick. He can play across the front line (including wide). Can hold the ball up. Has good link up play, decent in the air and is technically very good. Plus has a bit of magic. Further back in midfield, Renato Sanches for his recovery pace, physicality and ball carrying.
Watkins and Ings have had an off season, yet Watkins still has double figures and Ings is doing well in the assists column. They will both do better next season.

I agree - but we do need to create more chances - some games they're feeding off scraps.

Some wag on Twitter says we are to announce a new signing, free transfer, very soon. Some ITK shite. Probably Olsen agreeing to stay with the club for a couple of years.

As I posted in another thread, against Liverpool, Spurs, Burnley and Palace (all at home), we had 63 shots. Now of course they weren't all guaranteed tap ins, but with that many shots we could and should have scored more than 3 goals.It's also not hard to think of other games where if Ings and Watkins had scored goals they should have, we'd be futher up the table than we are. Ings not scoring a relative tap in against West Ham away and Watkins tamely dragging his shot wide against Wolves being two examples.
