Ramsey- Already playing (likely), not a striker. K. Young- young, unproven, probably do a job. On the wing. Not a striker. The term striker is meaningless. They can all play as forwards.

MachoFantastico Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I suspect we'll hear from the club soon confirming that they've done all the business they wanted, before the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 28 minutes ago, The Fun Factory said: We only one up top and Watkins has averaged 36 league games per season in his first 2 seasons with us. It looks like a calculated gamble that he leads the line until the summer at least. Oh come on.. you don’t say stuff like this, that’s him out for the season now after 1 minute against Leics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Bailey, who was rubbish, none of those players have ever played as a central forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Powehi said: Our new 16mil signing. Ollie also might not get injured, and in fact very rarely does. I feel like a stuck record too - or at least a record surrounded by fans who seem desperate to jump to the worst possible scenario. To be fair even Emery has said that he is one for the future rather than one for the now. It would have been good to see him play at least part of a match before the end of the window. Maybe he is tearing it up in training and we're just keeping it quiet so that we don't blow our "4 aces" hand before the Leicester match and Emery is playing the ultimate poker face.

Most have been saying Watkins is not the answer, but now we have to count on him as the main guy to get us the goals. Emery teams typically don’t rely on one forward for goals, last season in la liga the highest goal tally out of the forwards was 10, Nicolas Jackson who failed his medical at Southampton scored 0 they were willing to pay £23m for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Coutinho can play up front if Watkins gets injured? What a bizarre take, this is the same guy who's legs have clearly gone and couldn't even beat a Stevenage defender . Emery can't be happy with this window, i'm expecting big things from the club this summer. Edited January 31, 2023 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
