If we are replacing Jesus - and I agree we should - it should be a player far better than Watkins.

Who?


Osihmen.

I agree we should go for him over sesko, gyokeres or Watkins, problem is he isn’t going to be easy to get.

Outside of him there isn’t much top quality available.

We should pass on Sesko, not good enough another layer with a underwhelming goal record, we’ve got enough of those.

Sesko or Gyokeres would be next.
There's also Ekitike - who I prefer to both - but don't prefer to Osihmen.
Watkins is just a non starter IMO. I'd rather no one and risk Jesus staying fit in the second half of the season.

Martinez, Thurman, Openda, Guirrassy (older but great finisher).

There are options if we care to explore them.

Not that it makes much difference, it’s not like we’ll win anything.

Watkins in the pl had a g/a per minute of 108 last season.

Sesko in the bundseliga had a g/a per minute of 133.

Ekitike in the French league had a g/a per minute of 112

They done worse at a far inferior level.

Not sure they are the answers, they would be big money signings for young inexperienced players.

If Watkins isn’t good enough is Havertz?

His g/a per minute in the pl was 156, Watkins is 108 .

Watkins accumulated 17 goals and 14 assists last season WTF has Jesus done since he joined us :Gabriel Jesus has 18 goals and 11 assists in 70 appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League in his career. You talk a load of cack.

Agreed. Watkins for me is 3rd choice striker, but he won't go anywhere and not accept being a starter.

Why should we ditch Odegaard, are you forgetting he was top class the previous 2 seasons !!

With the slight change of play and him refusing to shoot (not sure if instructed to shoot less), he has looked a shadow of himself, but he already proved how incredible he can be.

He will be very easy to get, it's just nobody has gone in for him with any determination, its all been big talk until now.

Your problem is we have seen plenty of Watkins and Watkins misses. He want take us to the next level, he misses too many good chances. I want a more clinical finisher, his finishing is slightly less hit n miss than Havertz and when I say slightly I mean slightly

Havertz and Watkins are not the same kind of player at all.
I refer again to categories of players.
Havertz is still young at 26 and if he is able to carry on his 2024 form will be one of the worlds best players.
Watkins is older , was never a top player and is only going to go downhill from here.



Sesko or Gyokeres would be next.
