He’s played 25 games for Rochdale, admittedly not enough but he’s got some experience under his belt.

:lol: sorry, couldn’t resist. p.s you need to have another crack at the Polish chap’s name :wink:

Can honestly say I’ve never heard of 3 of those players…

This. With bells on. Aguero, too short to be a striker?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Watkins has been overly impressive considering the reported fee and wages, however, taking a very superficial look at him he’s scored 14 league goals in his debut PL season. If Armstrong didn’t look impressive but bagged us 14 goals I’d struggle to not be pretty...

The only advantage we have really is that he more likely to be our first choice striker, he’d be behind DLC and Richarlison and Everton and Antonio at West Ham assuming they were the only strikers there.

Conversely... Watkins Mk2 Yes please.

Whilst there is flexibility needed from our front 3, they still have positions that suit their skill sets. Anyway, all this talk of a front 3 seems a touch redundant when we’ve started 3 out of 4 League games with 2 strikers, Trossard is free to roam behind the front 2 but tends to float out to...

38 :thumbsup:

Don’t worry, I’m not offended, I was intrigued after your ‘more mature posters’ comment. Turns out you’re an awful lot older than me :)

It’s just a turn of phrase. Anyway, I appreciate your Liverpool analogy but isn’t it well known that Firmino plays centrally, with Salah playing from the right and Mane from the left, yes they’re all attackers but they still play defined roles. Maupay is our central operator of our attackers...

I’m dying to know, how old are you, and how old do you think I am?

Fair enough, if the man has spoken then so be it. I still think it’s a stunningly naive move to go forward with the idea that our back up strikers have less than 10 PL goals between them. Mac Allister and Alireza can’t get a game in their natural position so it seems perfectly reasonable they’d...

Before you go, what would your plan be if anything happened to Maupay, the lad who’s scored 50% of our goals so far this season? Asking for a mate.

It’s all a bit weird isn’t it.

Like us with Murray....

We’re biding our time, then we’ll swoop for Abraham and Sessegnon. Young English players who need first team football and fill immediate needs for us.

Every time I look in this thread I’m expecting to find some news, and I forget every time that it’s just Sheebo and Bladders dicking around :lol:
