Would I swap Isak for Watkins? No. But if you look at goals and assists there is no contest. Watkins easy.

 

 

 

So you're basing it just on stats? Some people might view Watkins as better which is a fair view but to say he is clearly better is a bit absurd especially from a fellow 'Newcastle fan'.

Hes on 19 goals and 12 assists. The most important stats for an attacking player. Im the biggest Isak fan. Im not talking about him specific. Haaland also. Up until now this season Watkins is the best striker by a long distance.

If we are basing on this season, Watkins, of course, is a candidate for team of the season. I'd still rather have Isak in my team based on his attributes and having a higher ceiling.

Simms is a very decent target man, he’ll be at a premier league club within a year or two 

Isn’t he an Everton player

He scores fewer goals per game / minutes and hasn’t had Longstaff, Miley, Almiron etc behind him all season.

Fairly sure they sold him, he’d been on loan to Sunderland then last summer they sold him to Coventry

Not to mention Wilson. Isak has also had a groin issue all season. 
 

I love Watkins but I think Isak is a tier above as a footballer. As a striker it’s close.

Watkins is also one of those players that's perfect for a system, but wouldn't necessarily transition to another and be as effective.

 

Isak, on the other hand, is genuinely world class.
