      Would love us just to go buy the 2 or 3 players we need from the bracket of " already proven top class, age 25 to 28 "



      Won't happen under this ownership.

      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.
      Great examples. Ollie's been pretty good up to this point and I just see him reaching his prime and getting better pieces around him. With CL footy, they won't sale him for less than. 100, and as much as I like him, no thanks.

      Let's get up this time next season and see whose right on Watkins 😉

      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 ;D)

      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.

      If Ollie Watkins underwhelms you, then your standards are HIGH

      Not really.  He wouldn't be a huge upgrade over any of our current attacking players.  He might be marginally better than Gakpo.  He might be a little more polished than Darwin.  But we're not talking about chalk and cheese -- they are all in the same category of good but not great players. 

      Now, Lautaro Martinez would be a different story.  Or someone like Osimhen, Leao, or Rodrygo.  These are players who would walk into the first 11.

      That may of been said in jest racer but it’s true  :lmao: I’ve been called for it many times. 😂 However, I’m am guilty of eating chicken/Turkey leftovers on Boxing Day  :lmao:

      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.

      That's the best thing about having a turkey at Christmas. Not when you're having it with Christmas dinner when it's like tree bark - that bit is the worst part. However, when it's ripped apart with plenty of meat leftover, left refrigerated for a day or two, get out the white bread lay some butter, ham and mustard and you've hit the true meaning of Christmas.
