We don’t always finish our chances either.
Yes. Stop gap for Son at Asia cup and hopefully the end for Richarlison at Tottenham as he is terrible.
Forgot Werner played under Lampard, Ange’s coaching will be levels above that
I've always liked Tuchel (even when he was still a member of Kraftwerk).
BTW who is your preference?
Timo Werner | Football Stats | RB Leipzig | Season 2021/2022 | Soccer Base
Timo Werner. (Born 06 Mar, 1996) Midfielder for RB Leipzig. Season 2021/2022 & career stats available, including appearances, goals & transfer fees.
Werner's record for Chelsea not awful.
He hasn't played for Germany for a while. Euros coming up.
I understand why people are nervous about Werner, but IMO his time at Chelsea has become underrated.
When he was leading the line under Tuchel the team finished the season well and obviously won the CL. Whilst he was really profligate and became the source of a lot of derision, his off ball movement and pace in behind was a huge asset for that Chelsea side and his wastefulness in front of goal was (IMO) compensated by the space he created for others with his unselfish off-ball movement.
If my memory of the timeline is correct, Tuchel replaced him with Lukaku in the starting XI that summer and they became a worse team because of that.
I’m not all over his form since he left Chelsea and it appears he hasn’t been the player he was at RB first time around, but as a low-risk gamble I’m ok with it and I can see him fitting with Ange’s system pretty well.
If it’s a choice between him and Jota I’m picking Werner all day long.

At best it’s a handy stop-gap to rotate in and cover injuries, zero hope for anything more than that with him.
Gone. Johnson 55m, Maddison 46mWhere’s the 100M gone you bald fuck
Wasn't given a chance. There was always a player there. He was brilliant at Basel and I'm almost 100% positive Chelsea only signed him so we couldn't have him. No use for him, no need to buy him at the time. He'd played a blinder against us in the ropey league before he went to Chelsea and we were linked.
He played 13 league games at Chelsea. Not even sure many were starts.
You assume Ange has said yes. The proof will be if he actually uses Werner. If he's sat on the bench every week then he was opportunistic. Fact is, if he was any good at all, RBL wouldn't be loaning him out. He was a flash in the pan a few years ago. He was what everyone thought Kane would be.
See above IRO Salah, KDB was loaned out and barely kicked a ball at Chelsea. He didn't fail there simply because he wasn't there.
Richarlison isn't terrible. I'm not his biggest fan but he's a fuck lot better than Werner.
Who cares.
It's a great move for Dier and us.
I like this signing a lot.
Richarlison better than Werner for Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham? Haha
I have seen it all.
