Maybe a bit like Watkins his season where he was our top scorer with 16 league goals and at one stage was on track for 20 in the season (he did get over 20 in all comps) is underrated, we hardly ever have a player do it, sure in the PL era we've only had JPA, Benteke and Yorke do it, if he stays here for another 3 or 4 seasons Ollie will be top 5 in our PL scorer list yet more than half of our fan base don't rate him I liked him, one of those players that even when he was struggling I wanted him to do well because like you say there was just something about him and his demeanour Funnily enough I feel the same about Ollie, I want him to succeed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be back on his holidays by the end of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see him playing much this season. A good 8 months training with the team though and maybe a few minutes off the bench will hopefully mean he’s ready to play more of a part next season. I still think we’ll go big on a striker in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
