Marley Watkins

[jon goddard]

So City have signed Marley Watkins, question is will he GHOST in between the opposing defenders?

Hopefully he will be hungry for goals hungrier than OLIVER  TWIST

apparently Leicester and Norwich were in for him  so it was A TALE OF TWO  CITIES who he might  join

Ipswich  wanted to sign him but as the club have fallen on HARD TIMES they couldn't afford him

I understand that Norwich have GREAT EXPECTATIONS that he will do very well

People seem to be under the impression that he's a winger or attacking midfielder, and his wikipedia entry says midfielder, but according to my neighbour he's mostly been used there as a striker and is "average" but "very hard working". 

So I think this is our Lafferty replacement and he's basically a hard working player who can run the channels like Jerome does, and press high etc. We've just bought a grafter up front who can make a bit of a nuisance of himself, like Jamie Mackie before he became sh*t. 

Makes me feel a bit better about this signing. Lafferty was just the complete opposite to what we needed, so as things stand we've now got three centre forwards.
