Hopefully then talksport and the media can stop referring to Gabby as "Aston Villa legend...." Overtaken Benteke now and only 2 goals behind Gareth Barry and 7 goals behind Dion Dublin.

If he does, it is possible we can replace him with a good player. Plucking a few, Alvarez, Hojland, Awoniyi, Gouiri, Boadu, Moffi, Sesko, Openda (twice) and Gyokeres have all moved for less than £30m last few years. Players are available. You need to just not be stupid and buy players that don't fit your team. 18 hours ago, Keyblade said: Unai saying that even when Ollie isn't scoring he's really happy with all the other work that he does. I don't know why he'd say that. Doesn't he know that a striker is useless if he's not scoring? As I've said so many times in this thread, it's precisely this. Watkins is absolutely perfect for us (and us for him, he's not a top class striker). The players listed above mostly - from what I've seen - push forward and don't drop deep or into channels to create space elsewhere. Might be a bit harsh on Gyokeres who seemed to do that a bit with Coventry... but I didn't watch them loads at all (also; he's just not as good as Watkins at all). Very different types of forward/striker. I think we probably need a different type of forward to be able to mix things up - and Duran looks like he could be this, in fairness. But yeah, there aren't many players who can do what Watkins does for us even if there are an abundance of good strikers out there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Ornstein says he has made England squad. Well deserved and let's hope he takes his chance if Southgate actually plays him. I'm guessing no place for Konsa though and Slabhead probably taking up a space again. Ramsey's injury troubles probably ruled him out.

It's almost like he's expecting there to be a backlash for picking him and getting his excuses in early. What an absolute prick he is. Good for Ollie that he's in, but shame he'll be playing for the fraud that is Southgate. I assume Emery has told him to ignore everything Gareth tells him.
