    Not sure we need a 3rd striker, but if we make the Champs League would anyone take Welbeck on a free on a 1/2 year option? Very experienced player who would be a good influence on the squad, still has a goal in him and would mean we could fully rest Watkins at times and give more minutes to Duran with Welbeck as another option. Welbeck's link up play and defensive contribution is also decent 

    I really like Welbeck but probably wouldn't take him here tbh.

    Thought he was very good yes.

    The sort of player we should be signing from Copenhagen mind, not Lille for quadruple.

    Not always that simple mind. Some players are clever enough to choose their path so they can maximise playing time and continue to develop before bigger moves.

    Think Ollie was the first to admit that in his post match interview. He was very disappointed in his own performance and said he should have had at least 2. Probably an assist as well if he'd have looked up a bit.

    It's good he's so hard on himself though. Shows he isn't content just to rest on his laurels.

    Fair enough, I'd not seen that. All I saw was him saying we should have scored three or four.

    He get's picked because people who know what they're looking at deem him to be really good? People who actually watch football and actually know what they're doing as it's their job?

    Normally I'd agree but for two people...

    GS and SG.

  5. Spurs have the potential to drop a load of points.

    I believe a good performance/result against Arsenal and going through on Thursday would give us renewed energy and belief, giving us a real good chance of finishing top four.

    🤞

    When the pressure hits you find out who’s the real deal.

    We all know Martinez excels under pressure but Watkins has been an absolute revelation and is now for me the only candidate for player of the year. If anything, he’s the one who has found his voice and seems to be thriving the harder it gets.

    Hopefully McGinn can have a similar response (the signs are there following the performance v Lille) as we need him at a similar level to get us over the line. 

    Watkins has been phenomenal this season, shut me right up for the most part with the concerns I had previously.

    That said, with better decision making on Thursday we could have as good as killed the tie off.

    The buy option is €38m including add ons, confirmed by Galatasary - it’s a total non starter in my eyes. Even if it is £15m he’s done virtually nothing in pretty much an entire season, what’s the point in wasting £15m on a player who hasn’t been good enough? He’s already behind Rogers in the pecking order and we still have Ramsey and Buendia to come back. 

    Depends how highly Unai rates his potential. He won't write him after one season, especially considering he's been settling into a new country, had that betting stuff hanging over him for a little white, and had very limited minutes the last few months.

    I know you can say there's a reason why he's had so little minutes but it's more complex than that and is still too early to write him off.

    I don't think he's dome enough in his time here to merit signing him..Bidace wouid have done more if we'd have kept him.

    Emery will know the circumstances he's been playing in/under this season and will be considering what he could do for us in future, rather than what he has or hasn't achieved in his first season in England. Whether Emery sees his potential as being high enough for us to buy him, time will tell.
