He has a lot to do at Coventry and I think a move to a club where there is less pressure on him might suit him. His style of play could work for us (good at holding it up, can take a man on, can pass etc.) and we do need a bench option. The gap between the prem and championship is huge, though. He just seems to have loads to his game as you said. Be really interesting to see how he does in the PL for sure but there's no way he's Championship level IMO.

The problem any incoming striker might have is that Ollie's never injured or tired enough to be subbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trillvillan Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Viktor Gyokeres for 20m now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 No thanks to Gyokeres, looks pretty good at Championship level and might be okay at Premier League level, but have seen so many strikers in Championship look good there but don't make the step up. WIth Watkins I had supreme confidence that he would make the step up as looked completely on a different level, but don't have the same confidence with Gyokeres. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skilful, can dribble, clever, good passer, strong, natural finisher. Looks pretty damn good to me. Only time will tell.

The Boro games hinted at mental fragility and he did almost nothing. He's also completely unproven at the top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Ce n'est pas que ça I'm not sure if he can make step up to a suitable degree, but also I'm not sure we would be in the market for a centre-forward of his profile, if we go for another I think it will be someone, rated as good or better than Ollie, if not either of those two things would more likely be a much younger player. We might not even try for another out and out striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trillvillan Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 For the price he's a bargain. I reckon someone like West Ham will sign him, but the quality is there imo. I think he would compliment Ollie and would be great for the Europa Conference (if secured). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell. Hasn’t got the physical attributes to be effective at PL level. Ollie is a couple of levels above him but both Duran and Archer are also a level above.
