All true, but if we fail to bring through players in certain positions, we need to fill those gaps by other means, for example cashing in on a surplus if we have one elsewhere. It's a fact that we are short of goalscorers, but still overstocked with central defenders. Could we have sold, say...
I thought Watkins was snuffed out rather too easily by Tim Ream and 'Virgil van Mike' Hector last night. Not very encouraging for his chances of cutting it in the Premier League.
