Any offer over £10m snap your hands off for it.

Almost certain he will never get another call up again.

This guys next club is a newly promoted team at best.

Didn't he have a really nice finish disallowed? People are always clamouring for Tammy, yet he's the exact same. Needs many chances to score.

All about ratios.

 

Tammy needs 10 chances to score 5 goals. With Ollie the return is 2 or perhaps 3 goals.

True. But also, people are unnecessarily harsh on him. There was a chance he missed in the second half where Emi put him through with a lofted ball. It was hardly a sitter. He had to control it on the chest and then volley it first time on his weaker foot with the defender bracing for the tackle. Yet if you were to read VT you'd think it was a tap-in that he missed. He did really well to even get into the position to be able to take the shot in the first place.

Don't think he missed any tap ins per se, except for completely whiffing on the ball after Buendia hit the crossbar.

Just think that with the system we are playing UE, Ollie is going to have lots of opportunities solo and he either needs to find a better way to work with Bailey or finish better if we have any chance of getting near the 9-12 spots.

Ollie gets caught between going 1 on 1 and holding it up and ends up losing it time after time. He has limited ability 1 on 1 and little to no confidence to do so. His workrate is class but I fear he isn't up to the level we need - so many attacks end up with him running down and alley and tripping over himself or getting a weak shot off into a defender.

There's a lot to like about Ollie. His finishing is definitely not one of them. He can do it, but its so... well, hit and miss. If we're going to progress we need a significantly better finisher. Otherwise, we have to work much harder than other teams to score the same amount of goals and that's just silly. It's like having a blunt sword.

Its actually worse than that, for both,

This season, Ollie is average 1 goal every 14 shots. Tammy's is 1 every 11 shots. The average in the PL is 1 goal ever 7 shots.

Sorry but i still think tammy would get more goals in this team than watkins. Watkins has git worse and scored less goals as each season goes on.

If a offer close to what we paid for comes in for ollie i would get rid. A player holding us back and wont take us to next level. Funny how his best season was with no fans
