There will be a lot of clubs interested in him if we drop.

Utterly deluded if you think otherwise.
I don’t know, how would you feel if we were linked with a player who had missed the majority of the last two seasons with chronic injury issues? We’ll get cheeky lowball offers for sure but I’m not sure it would be wise to sell when his stock is at its lowest- get him fit and scoring in the championship and his value shoots back up and could revisit in January or next summer.

Same could see spurs trying for him on the cheap if we go
And looking to get another cf in
 
He'll definitely get a move if we go down.

I don't think he's good enough to cut it there long-term, but Chelsea were interested at one time and they're going to have to lower their spending quite a bit to comply with FFP. I could see him being a decent stopgap for them.

Otherwise, it'll somewhere like West Ham or maybe Leicester if they stay up. That's more his level.
 
I don't understand why he'd be better utilised as a penalty box striker when his physicality and hold-up play are streets ahead of his finishing?

He's been a real handful since coming back, especially against Leicester. Similar to Iwobi, he needs to be put in positions where he can put himself about, otherwise he's relying too much on his limited ability on the ball.
We have 4 games left for ant slight chance of survival, for that to happen we need goals. We now finally have a fit striker, who's most prolific period has been focusing on being in the area for any slight chance he can get his head/foot too. he will never score from outside the box, let alone the edge of the box.
And we know we don't have enough players to put the ball in the net for us.

Also how much ability did he need on the ball in his best scoring season for us. As long as he gets on the end of enough chances he will score.

look at what Emery has just done with Watkins this season and look at the change its made.

Watkins still does a lot of hard running and work for the team, compensating for his lack of natural finishing. The difference now is that Emery has Villa creating enough chances for him because he's a quality manager who knows how to get a team playing.

I think the issue with DCL is that we don't have attacking midfielders who are good enough to feed off his hold-up play, which is a waste because he's a good target man. I know what you mean about needing goals, but I doubt we'd get up the pitch often enough to create the number of chances he needs without him acting as an outlet and making the ball stick. Gray could possibly do it, but it looks like Dyche is finished with him.
