Because if he had that instinct to do so, he wouldnt be playing at Spurs
Change my mind. Not giving him 180k per week for that.
I initially thought it was a no brainer as squad depth just because of the transfer fee. His fee might be cheap, but he wouldn't be a bargain especially with those wages.
He's a limited and functional player who can sometimes shine in our set up.
But the only thing he really offers is being able to find a bit of space and put a ball in the box. We can get a rotation option who's younger and on far less money who can do that for us.
This is the position that we need to go big on this summer, and giving someone 180k a week to sit on the bench and spam cutbacks for 10 minutes at the end of the game is a waste of resources.
Send him back asap useless and costing us in games
No he certainly doesn’t have “pretty much everything” apart from finishing.
He’s good for running in straight lines, and occasionally pinging in a cross that somebody might get on the end of. That’s about it.
He’s a second rate footballer, which is why Leipzig are trying to give him away for a pittance…
Not like you to change your mind.
At least you’re admitting to it, I’m still waiting for the others…
Mate, its hilarious. Some of the posts I saw when we signed him as if Ange was literally Harry Potter and would transform the bloke were baffling. It's Timo fucking Werner, he is headed towards 30 and is the same player he was at Chelsea.
Even his crossing is just basic. He's whipping them in low repeatedly, he doesn't have the technique to mix it up at all. Technically he is an extremely basic footballer, with no decision-making or composure whatsoever.
He is quick and hard working and will follow instructions. As a loan to fill a gap it was a good signing, to actual burden ourselves with him on our books and spend actual transfer money on him would be utter fucking lunacy.
There has to be someone in the academy that can do his job.
Agree. How bad must Gil be ?
He's fine at depth, he just has no business starting.
Prefer him coming off the bench when there's more space to operate in and/or when there's tired legs on the pitch.
Can't be going into next season as him being our no1 LW, I would be livid.
His wage is too high to be on bench unless he signs for way less.
He gets paid £8,580,000 this year which is insane for his return....
That's what normally happens when you want cover though.
He's not even fine as depth. Giving someone 180k a week (on top of the 15 million) to come off the bench to drive down the line and perform a cutback is a terrible idea.
You're genuinely better off getting a left winger from the academy.
Yea, but I'm saying if we want him as a squad player next year he needs a paycut since he doesn't offer much. £2 to £3 should be good enough. We can find a much better younger player for way less..
He's desperate to sign so wouldn't surprise me if we cut his wage down.
I feel that he wants us more than we want him.
There are always suckers out there that will pay him. Hoping that one year wonder he had at Leipzig will reemerge. lol.
