Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Ger Regan]

There's no denying how poorly ollie was playing earlier in the season, but it appears that there were mitigating circumstances for this, including knee trouble. A mythical 30 goal a season striker is all well and good, but watkins' importance to how we play far exceeds goals scored, and there's a very real chance of us being a worse team with a more prolific striker who contributes less in general play.

I've also been really impressed with how his control has improved lately. Some really deft touches, compared to the toblerone feet i had (perhaps unfairly) labelled him.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

It's not unfair, we all know he has a terrible touch sometimes.

Well put.

Well put.

Yeah, it's a really good point. It's almost like football isn't just as simple as being 'black and white'.

And stats might not tell the whole story.

Bardell wants Curtis Jones, the silly fugger.

As Carragher says he needs 6 touches to control the ball.

He is very good at looking like a professional footballer until it comes to doing anything.

We simply have to get a top striker. If we get a 30 goals striker we are going to win the league.

But which one? There's so many of them about.

The one Arsenal won the league with, obviously.

The one who scored more goals than Ollie? Just because it doesn't always happen doesn't mean it wouldn't be enough to get us over the line.

People actually arguing that more goals would make us a worse team is hilarious.

Ha ha in amongst Smirker’s usual agenda I missed him citing the top striker scoring 30 goals in the league. Yeah ok, loads of those readily available to us.

1. I didn't say that. Can you read?

2. They might be hard to find, doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Both have scored 14 league goals. Liverpool won the league with a CF that played every league game scoring 9.

[PeterWithesShin]

Edit: Ollie has more league goals.

So you don't understand the concept of exceptions to rules then.

[PeterWithesShin]

More than you do modern football.

[Smirker]

Yes because a team won the league once with a striker who scored 9 goals that must mean it happens every season and a 30 goal striker doesn't actually help you at all. I am PWS I am smart.
