RE the Watkins needs competition etc. he's played every game so far as No9, everyone saying he's great at holding the ball up, great work rate etc, I think he should be freed up to be a goal scorer 1st, a quality defensive mid will free up our forward thinking players to create the chances for Ollie, sort that out and I'll bet he gets 20+ goals next season, Prem goals, remember our main creative source has missed pretty much a quarter of the season too which would of meant more goals for Ollie, I think we've struck gold with that kid, back him up, not replace him

Fully agree Ally, he's amazing and will start next season as our main striker - However signing another quality striker is not replacing Watkins, it's adding depth, quality to the squad and competition for places. We need depth, imagine Watkins gets injured and is missing for 3 months, what then? I love Wesley but he's not on the same level as Watkins lads!

Totally with you on that analogy Ally, I also think he is a gem and should be treated as such.
I don`t recall reading anyone saying he should be replaced, moved about a bit up front maybe, but never replaced.

I think we’re I was coming from is if we were to buy a striker as back up/ competition, it should be someone young and hungry for it like Ollie is, another way of thinking could be that he’s had a taste of being in the England squad, wouldn’t staying in the England set up be his own personal competition, knowing he’d have to keep playing to a higher level to keep his place, plenty of strikers pushing for that spot? I know it makes sense to get another striker in depending on what happens with Wesley and Davis in the summer but I’d be happy with them as back up if they do what we hope they’re capable of, , good times ahead I think

My worry is if Watkins gets injured Ally, if we are relying on Wesley and Davis for goals we may be in trouble. It'll be interesting to see what happens, my gut is saying we will go for a striker but perhaps Smith opt for a striker / winger to play him off Watkins, and if Watkins is injured that player can play up top! But first let's finish as a high as we this season, starting with a win today :-)

He’s been a brilliant buy and his attitude has been first class all season. His been unlucky (hit the post more than any other player this season I think), some of the offsides against him after he’s scored have been scandalous, offside because he was trying to break away from a player getting a piggy back off him if you remember. BUT, he has missed some sitters, when given time to think about the finish he has rattled it wide or straight at the keeper at times, and he has had games where his second touch was a tackle because the first has given it away etc. So I do think he needs competition, so he knows he isn’t guaranteed to start, I’m hoping that will be Wesley.
