Timo Werner

[mwblue10]

I found this interesting: talked to a German friend of mine who lives fairly close to Leipzig and has watched Werner play and his opinion was verbatim “he’s a good player but he’s a little bitch. Cries after every contact. Nobody in Germany likes him.”

He’s a Hertha Berlin fan, keep in mind, so when he generalizes that nobody likes him, I think he moreso means opposing fans. I told him nothing can be worse than Morata’s crying, so Werner will be just fine!

It sounds like it’s a done deal. Sky Sports are reporting both teams have reached an agreement and we will be paying him £200 pw. On another note, I can see us selling Kante in the summer.

I don't think we are trying to sell him. One of the best players in the world among midfielders. Hope we can keep hold of him. He is the player that brought Leicester, us and France their titles. Without him those achievents were impossible.

He’s 29, hasn’t played well since Conte and seems to struggle with staying fit. He’s on something like £300k pw. I also love the guy but if PSG or RM come with a decent offer, I can see the club selling him

I don't think he will be the same in the Premier League, teams really just play defensivly against us most of the time and he won't have that much space. Even so I think he's more than capable to be a 20 goal per season forward which is something that we really lacked, Tammy + Timo can have 40 goals in a season which is really great!

These 3 + Tammy, Mount, RLC...A new dynasty.

its about time we had a Decent German in the Team, Ballack seems such a long time ago!

How can you say that when the German Messi played for us?

Good grief man

I know, I know, must be this Lockdown, just pessimistic at the moment, I really do hope we get him, but until he's announced just worried.

Sadly we will get Gazumped, really can't see this signing happening, nice thought though.

Matt law generally only reports things confirmed not rumours

Who will do that? It is well reported Liverpool can't buy him due to financies, ManU the same. ManU can do it if they can sell Pogba. We can outright buy him. Lampard has already convinced him to sign. This is via David Ornstein, Rafa Honighstein and Liam Twomey.

Thanks for sharing, this is excellent background to what’s happened

 

[mwblue10]

Hope so

There’s precedent, as recently as the Ziyech signing, that you can have confidence in his reporting.

 

[Ballack & Blu]

Now the most important thing is what the New kit is like?

So assuming we get Werner, where does that leave Tammy and Giroud?

That podcast is so insightful. Worth a listen.

Battling for a starting position? Competition breeds winners.

Werner is very versatile he can play out wide or or behind the striker, in the case of Liverpool who is the striker? I’d say Timo will start and there will be competition but if Tammy is really flying I think he will play as a wide forward like Salah and Mane. 

We have so much versatility up front we will actually have 2 good strikers for the first time in a long time and 4 good wingers or players that can play wing 2 of which can play number 10 plus mason and RLC our front is sorted for some timers come if they fulfil their potential. 
 

If we can do a sneaky one for vertonghen and sign Chilwell we have a serious challenging squad, young and pacy that should only get better.

Giroud is hopefully gone

Wait....what?? Vertonghen??

I think Werner takes the central AM spot, with Ziyech, Pulisic, CHO and hopefully Sandro competing for the wing spots.  Give Tammy the ST spot.  Werner reminds me of Hazard
