Timo Werner

Could be this week.

 

[Shqiptar]

Just another 24 hrs and he will sign. 

 

[Scott Harris]

Not another one of those 48hr epics i hope.

I expect this to go on for a while before anything is officially announced.

Apparently he has withdrawn himself from Leipzig’s CL squad in order to join Chelsea in July and settle in.

Any sightings of the Werner-copter yet? That’s how you know stuff just got serious.

Someone somewhere said the copter takes off in around 48 hours.

But I guess that someone only had a guess himself ?

Would he be playing up top instead of Tammy or inside forward alongside Tammy like Anelka used to?

I think we will see both during the season.

Someone says your assessment is pretty accurate.

Move the thread! He's a blue!

Glad it’s all official now! I was wondering reading the announcement, obviously it mentions him in a front 2 as he’s played it before.

Then I was thinking more about our pursuit of Havertz over Sancho.

Then I was thinking about pre season when Frank went two up front and we played a diamond and I thought we played really well just the strikers being too greedy (Bats in particular if I recall).

I wonder if that’s what we’re looking to play moving forward and that’s why there’s not as large a scramble to get wingers in despite two leaving. We’d still have CHO &. Pulisic & Werner for games we go with wingers. Maybe this is the flexibility Frank was talking about.

Probably not, but it’s an interesting thought as I quite like 2 striker formations especially when they’re different types of players. It would probably be more likely to be a 4-2-3-1 with Werner playing on the wing or as a second striker. It certainly gives us options though.

Deep this. We bought Ziyech and Werner combined for less than United paid for Maguire at £80m 

 

[Imran_CFC]

Still cant believe we've managed to get Ziyech and Werner regardless of CL qualification

 

[Sexyfootball]

Werner and Ziyech ought to fix the biggest problem we've had up front, which is an effective contribution of goals/assists from the two wide forwards/wingers ...

Great news !

Add RLC as a goal threat from midfield, and we could be in for an absolute treat next season ...

Intrigued to see what further signings are in scope ...

 

[All Barco no bite]

£47.5m for Werner and £36m for Ziyech. That's not even all the Hazard money spent yet. 

We really could be a force next season if we can add a LB and a CB.

And the Morata money comes in this summer too. Plus we can offload Bakayoko (hopefully). Keep that chequebook out, Roman!
