    On topic, I think we need an experienced striker for Watkins to learn from for a few seasons.

    However, that's quite a difficult position to fill, to bring someone in with the understanding they are there to help someone learn how to undoubtedly become the first choice.

    Also, In my opinion, Watkins also doesn't currently have any real competition for his place, I do like Davis, but Watkins is clearly more effective, especially under Smith's way of playing.

    I don't know, bringing in a striker who could come off the bench for the last half an hour and offer a bit of experience and something a bit different to Watkins, is something I feel we could really do with?

    Just looking at a few free agent strikers - Diego Costa? (attitude? Wages?), Sturridge (Fitness? Effectiveness?). Pato (Wages? Fitness? Could possibly have something to prove similar to Martinez?) or Wilfried Bony (Fitness? Effectiveness? Another one with something to prove?)

    Maybe a second half of the season loan deal for Harvey Elliot?

    It may be risky, he's young and inexperienced but maybe the idea of him getting Premier League experience for a team that (for this season anyway) won't rival Liverpool may appeal to Klopp?

    Elliot would be hungry and full of energy, which is what we need in the centre of the park, and in my opinion would relish the chance to get some regular first team football in the top flight, which I think he would get with us. A real chance to impress and opportunity to prove he can compete in the Premier League, even at his young age.

    And if it didn't work out, I don't think it would damage his reputation too much given his young age and our struggles, so that makes me think, for him and Liverpool at least, there wouldn't be a strong case for not doing it. Yes, he could get injured but that could happen at any time and if he didn't work out, he doesn't strike me as the type of person who would become jaded by that, plus he's young enough for it just to mean staying at U23 level for a few more seasons of improvement.

    Just a risk for us basically 😐 but bringing in a young player from the side that looks likely to win the title (I know he hasn't been there that long but still) could be beneficial for us.

    Plus the chance to link with Grealish could be attractive, not only to compare hairstyles. And bringing in a Liverpool player isn't going to convince Grealish to join them, that will purely be based on what division we're in next season in my opinion.

    No, that is definitely getting colder

    :( I've accidentally cheated now by trying to do some research, so I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to make an honest guess. But very interesting,, this type of thing happens a lot

    (not me cheating Bon Scott but maps like this being made for that purpose)

    THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979 2012 is a large-scale digital video projection that combines archive footage, music and text. It has a duration of twenty minutes and exists in an edition of three plus two artist’s proofs. Tate’s copy is number one in the main edition. The artist’s preference is for the work to be shown as an immersive installation, although there is also the possibility for it to be screened just as a video projection if necessary. A related work is Choir (Parts 1 & 2) 2011 (Arts Council Collection, London) which, although it contains elements used within THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979, is considered a completely separate work. Price made the work during an Arts Council England Helen Chadwick Fellowship at the University of Oxford and British School at Rome which she held from 2010–11. The video was shown at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead in 2012, in a solo presentation at MOTINTERNATIONAL, London the same year and at Tate Britain, in The Turner Prize exhibition, which Price won.
