Ollie Watkins

[Brazilian Villain]

Well, he modelled M&S menswear for England last year. They're bound to want to see a return on their investment.

Yes, that’ll be it.

He's their preferred marksman.

Watkins could well be in line for an International call up.
He was called up last March and can see him again be called up next week.

I'd agree - the ones who were justifiably ahead of him earlier this season are not in as good as form as he. Kane aside obviously.

No idea why people have gripes over Southgate not picking him or Mings during 2022, neither were playing well enough. Hopefully both will be back in next week.

When you had Southgate picking defenders who had played worse then Mings, were just coming back from long-term injury or were regularly benched by their own team, him being dropped was definitely more gripe-worthy then Watkins.

And a model professional, I might add.

On BT Sport for our match against West Ham, Lee Hendrie and Clinton Morrison were 2 of the pundits. Morrison said Watkins was the hardest trainer he had ever seen in his long career, and that he often had to be dragged off the training pitch.

This was in the context of discussing whether certain players had to be "held back" for their own good.

Where did Morrison work with Ollie?

Where did Morrison work with Ollie?

Were together at Exeter I think.

Correct, Dave.

[eamonn]

Clinton was correct!

There’s a first time for everything for that bullshitting twat.

Gregg Evans says Watkins (and Mings) deserve an England call up. I think he's hinting at something, and I know some maybe not sure to trust him as being in the know but could well seem accurate here

when you look at the England options , it’s either Ivan the betting slip or Watkins as back up to Kane.

Rashford should be the main striker and should have been for England in the summer.

He really wants to play on the left, is not comfortable as a 9.

[Clampy]

I still don't know why he took bloody Callum Wilson.

Which Summer tournament? The World Cup was in November? So a striker who scored 8 goals between the Euros and the World Cup tournament should have replaced one who scored more then that just in the few months this season and 32 in the same time frame?
