Tielemans has to be one of the best if not the best central midfielder in the premier league, he just oozes pure class.Onana, Tielemans and Kamara are possibly the best three out there at the moment. Ollie is so so disappointing, he is no where the player of the last two seasons, Emery is obviously persevering with him hoping fortunes will change, unfortunately not sure it's going to happen based on the last couple of months.
I would imagine we could pick up a class striker in January and use the Elliott money if and when we dip him.

When you consider Tielemens was signed on a free, it's unbelievable.
Kamara too. £ for £ these are obviously the best midfielders in the UK at the moment.
I really don't understand what is going on with Watkins at the moment. He receives the ball and from that moment he suddenly forgets he's a footballer. On Sunday his decision making was bad as it has been most of the season. He is found in space but either runs into trouble and is tackled or gives the ball away with an indecisive pass. It's happening too many times and his awareness when he's on the ball is well below what is expected of a Premier League player.
I don't want to be too critical but he is the only blight on the performances at the moment. If he starts to click then we really could be on to something this season. Fingers crossed he discovers some form soon otherwise he'll be spending next summer on a beach.

Agree Watkins just isn’t at it this season, there doesn’t seem to be that many top strikers out there with our budget, any suggestions?

There aren't many top strikers in any budget! Maybe its the style of play that's changed. Watkins is used to create space for the attacking midfielders to exploit. More likely Ollie is overthinking everything and not relaxing and letting his instincts take charge.
