He’s just too hit and miss. He’s quality and will continue to improve is my prediction. Will we ever learn about writing people off after a season? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think it will happen for him here and he will feature a lot less next season. Just my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I've seen no even semi-reliable links to Watkins but if they really are looking at him this close to the start of the season they'll have to be paying stupid, double our money, kind of fees. Non-starter for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely our local and respected paper wouldn't post clickbait? I'd be more annoyed that someone is paid to regurgitate bollocks from around the net all day. People do it to a higher standard here for free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we are shifting him unless it's huge money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaha Bale Aubameyang Jesus Cavani Barnes Lingard Maddison Bowen Equal for goal involvements with Traore who only played 2300 mins with no proper pre season and I think they've short changed him an assist with 6 as some credit 7 possibly won penalty not credited assist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno where you watch your Sunday League football but you're getting fantastic value for money if teams have people as good as Traore in them. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentator- 'i can't be arsed saying this players name as half time will of arrived before I'm done and those waiting for Love island to start will be delayed by 45 minutes' Writing must be small on his new shirt this season.

It's Your Round Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Watkins is going nowhere, he’s our main man and only just getting started. Likewise Traore, I highly doubt we’d be looking to sell him after one season. I expect him to improve this season now he’s settled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And basically Plan A was get the ball to HWSNBN. This season is basically one big Plan B. So it's sink or swim time. Could Terry be back by Christmas?! I think with Greedish leaving it will actually allow DS to play the game how he wants it played, the over reliance on one player was a hinderence. I'm looking forward to see what DS can really do, big big season for him now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will struggle to get our new players up to speed but I jst dont see how this many good players can get relegated. Maybe if Martinez gets injured I guess. There is half a dozen really bad teams too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never going to say a player is going nowhere again you just don't know, I think the Liverpool links are bullshit but if Kane leaves Spurs Levy will be all over Ollie and sometimes a bid is to good to turn down. Not that I'd like to see him leave at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
