Player Timo Werner

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Point is we are giving a risk free trial to a player that potentially will score 10+ a season and who will only cost £15m and who we can give back if he ain't no good.

Agree. I’m just adding to that saying that it’s not easy to get forwards right because they are always overpriced.

You can spend 100m on Toney and still not get that much more. Toney in Brentford isn’t even guaranteed to be the same player in a different prem club.

Edit: How long have we waited for Richy to show Everton and Brazil form since spending 60m on him?
 
What I realised watching him at Chelsea is that while he wasted a lot of chances, he also created a lot of chances and put himself in good positions. If he'd ever learned better composure then he'd have been world class.

I guess we'll see what Ange does with him, but he'll certainly fit our style well.
 
Rebrov was AMAZING for Dynamo Kiev, I was SO excited when we signed him... but was probably one of the biggest flops at Spurs in recent times...
9 in 29 PL for Spurs and 2 in the QF away at Redknapp's Spam in diabolical conditions. One of them a belter.

Sometimes, the player, club AND coach just have to fit!
Hoddle froze him out straightaway.

9 in 29 first season in a low-scoring Raincoat Man team, that's not shabby at all
 
Well, if you read the context in the previous posts, it was to do with Jota, And preferring Jota as I have heard and know a little about him, over someone who I knew the squareroot of fuck all about, Werner.

And someone tried to claim I was talking bollox, as I had stopped really watching Spurs for the last 4 years after Mourinho's arraival.

And if that was case, how do you know Jota and not Werner... Because I have friends who live in Glasgow, and if I followed a Scottish team, it would be Celtic as I like their kit and name.
So you were posting about Scotland because that's where Jota plays, in a thread about Werner, because you don't know enough about Werner to post about him?
 
When you lose an argument you always resort to personal abuse - quite sad as sometimes you're a decent poster.

Levy will NOT spend money he doesn't have. Most of the time he doesn't spend money he does have!!
🫣

mate I do worry about your delusions! You were adamant in that darts thread that you won the argument yet you clearly lost. And you are doing the same again here. Very strange behaviour
 
I hope Werner is good for us and my opinion changes on him. But until then, I'm not thrilled with this signing at all. I would have rather brought in a player I've never heard of and at least id be optimistic.

With Werner, I just feel it's a waste.. Hopefully I end up wrong.
That's fair enough. God knows his time at Chelsea is enough to ground that viewpoint in realism.

He's a Spurs player now, for the next 6 months, so we hope that he's more Leipzig, pre Chelsea, than Chelsea.
