Not sure of your point. My expectation for a 30 mill striker signing is to bag around 15 a season. I know it doesnt always work out, but that has to be a realistic expectation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 25-30m does for strikers in the current market is imply they aren't totally crap. (Sometimes) He will be fine though, even if he doesn't score 15 I have no doubt he will contribute a lot to the team. Like him a lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only explanation with all these queries about prices is people weren't paying attention to other PL club signings the last few seasons 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffo got potential though 30 mil doesn't guarantee 15+ goals he should hit double figures and hopefully improve on that next season. We probably paid over the odds for Watkins. Haller was 40 mil in last years market and didn't hit 15 goals he'll should improve this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Unlucky not to get one last night from a chance he couldn't have done more from. Unfortunate not to get one from a chance he could have done more from. Exceptional run and play to get into a position where he had to be fouled when through on goal. Overall, a very solid PL debut, with indications that he'll be a great player for us this season. He'll get into great positions, he'll create chances himself, and he'll create chances for others. Couldnt ask for more from a centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted September 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2020 Think Wilder might have been right. Watkins definitely looks like he wanted to ignore being through on goal and instead to stop for a bit of light hand holding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Jack and Ollie Thursday off. Let them work on those balls threading through, running off defenders etc along with Traore. I really like Ollie, I will be very surprised if he doesn't work out for us. His awareness will be his forte and linking with Jack ( which will take a bit of time) will be central to his success. Messi would have struggled to score against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His awareness will be his forte and linking with Jack ( which will take a bit of time) will be central to his success. Messi would have struggled to score against them. It will take time. Good players make demands of each other. Watkins looks stone faced. Totally focused and not giddy and happy to be just here. Certainly doesn't look in awe of Grealish and why should he be. He's been prolific in most of his seasons playing senior football so far. If Jack slows it up when Ollie is in space in the box, he should be called out and given a bollocking. Vice versa if Ollie isn't creating space for himself. Every player should be held to the same standards. Standards of excellence. Raise them, maintain them, raise them again. Humility. Ego is dangerous. Doesn't matter if we as fans believe we are a one man team, i want nobody on our team thinking it. The synergy and link up between all the midfield and striker. Work rate, everything. Team driven. Only way it can be. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2020 He shouted at Jack to pass the ball to him , Jack obliged. Was strange to see it tbh, not many players have the confidence to do that , Ollie has. Would like him to take our penalties, if he does then he should get 15 goals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted September 24, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2020 He is one of those players that have that ability to be in the right place, it isn’t luck, the lad knows where to be. That’s an important quality and it is why he scores goals and Davies doesn’t . 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, it's not luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
