Son isn’t even a No9 really, they just do it intentionally to generate retweets, likes, comments and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's reached his peak and should get some profit while we can. I don't think we'd sell him in Jan as too many games to play and no true alternative in the squad, but if he still hasn't signed a contract by then, I wouldn't be surprised were we to sell him in the Summer. Club won't want to let him walk to a rival for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget that the level of football has changed, outside of Haaland how many strikers are consistent let alone English ones??? If you think Ollie is streaky you didn't watch Deano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did watch Deano and am delighted to confirm he was pretty streaky, thanks for stopping by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) I'm usually one rubbishing these things and other posters for being paranoid about these things. However, at present, doesn't seem he's signing a new contract, so we legit may have to be looking at options outside of him, instead of him just running his contract down and going elsewhere for free. I love Ollie, but I'm wondering if he may also have an inflated self worth of his value? Not saying he isn't good enough to tear it up at other top clubs, but as a starter? Not so sure. Either way a resolution sooner than later suits instead of us just waiting on him. Although, we did have the same worried about Doug when he hadn't sign. So maybe an announcement could come out the blue at some point. Edited September 12, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe waiting to start scoring again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I guess he's just waiting to see how we progress before commiting. If we push on again this season I'm sure we could convince him to sign. But if he's demanding obscene amounts and thinks he's better then us then no objections trying to sell. He obviously wanted to upgrade when he left Brentford, there's no reason to think he wouldn't so the same to us if the chance came along. I'd guess Arsenal are the most likely destination, as I can't see Man United being the attractive proposition they once were after this season concludes (arguably they aren't already). And Liverpool can't spend that much on one player... so says Klopp. But if we're top 5 this season, I'm sure we could convince him to sign.

Irony is... if we " push on this season " ... we may want a striker even better than him to then push on even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Just so bad at times. Ball control is nowhere near good enough, finishing is poor. High energy ain't enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Love Ollie but he's becoming very infuriating to watch. No amount of good prior form excuses 0 goals in 11(.5) league games. And there's no excuse for why he didn't attack that cross. Actually boggles me why he didn't??? Would have been the easiest goal of his life??? Edited September 16, 2023 by wishywashy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm not scapegoating him at all but he scores that chance, we win this game at a canter. He didnt look confident, didnt know what he wanted to do and blew it. This is like watching the old, infuriating Ollie and we all thought he had turned a corner. He's not good enough as a long term option to take us to the next level, of that there is no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm just not convinced by him. I'm sure he'll have a purple patch again but he doesn't do enough at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 What's more impressive scoring 15 PL goals in a season or registering 34 assist. Ollie turning into an assist machine was not on anyone's radar for this season I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
