really want to sign this fella. I honestly dont remember the last all round proper number 9 type striker to play for this team. We've had big target men, speedy guys, ones who like to drift out wide, ones who like to play deep and collect the ball, link up men, young players with potential, the extravagant skilful foreign flair players etc.
All I want is a good all round athlete who plays between the width of the 18 yard box and knows how to stick it in the back of the net. An Alan Shearer style fella who works hard will do me, and thats what I see in Watkins
(and yes i know he can play wide and drift in etc but hopefully we buy him as an old fashioned striker who's job it is to score goals)
