Fair play mate. I'm not saying he'd be a bad signing, just not a massive improvement on what we already have. For me, we have a very good and well rounded squad, but we need to add a sprinkling of world class talent and I believe he falls short of that mark.
There have been a lot of examples of good players who have the odd excellent season in the Prem, but then revert back to the norm of being good not great. Michu with Swansea. Darren Bent with Sunderland. Andy Johnson, Roque Santa Cruz, etc... I suspect Watkins will revert to scoring roughly 10 goals next season.
My standards are high, and for me getting a CF of his cal. would be a no brainer for me. Ollie just lit up the prem, and he did it on a team not nearly as talented as us.
Great finisher and his vision in and around the box is very good too. For me he's a step up from Nunez all around, and certainly better at putting the ball in the net. Prem proven too. Sign me up. Only draw back is his age, but he's in the start of his prime so getting a 28-30 imo is one stance we could soften up on, from time to time. Thiago didn't help that trend, but Endo certainly played a big part and showed the value in a experienced pro (I'm not at all saying signing Endo is like signing Watkins in any way other than both are older )
Difference of opinions I guess.
Standards should always be high at LFC, yours included.
Watkins is very good and it's helped he's had the season of his life but you can also want to pass up on the signing for different reasons. You have to think value for money, you have to think for the future and longevity....neither of which I would class Watkins as being.
What’s the well done for mate? winning a major trophy rather than that tin pup of a Micky mouse thing. 😂
If Ollie Watkins underwhelms you, then your standards are HIGH

That may of been said in jest racer but it’s true I’ve been called for it many times. 😂 However, I’m am guilty of eating chicken/Turkey leftovers on Boxing Day
Turkey and ham sandwiches 3 days in are top tier.
Given how mad this summer is going, see Bayern and Barca, I think it’s been a good move.
The proof will be in the football so we’ll have to wait and see.
