Looking at it objectively he cannot be any worse than the current crop.
He probably won't live up to Chiriches's potential.And looking at it unobjectively?
Then why the fuck are we signing him?Just a little summary of him:
Major weaknesses:
- Concentration can be an issue
Marking: he does have a tendency to switch off at times. In these moments, he can appear unsure of who he should be covering.
Heading: Upon taking charge, Stoger noted that Wimmer was struggling to make best use of his height when competing for the ball in the air. There are, though, still occasions when he is beaten to the ball when he looks favourite to win it, and this is something he will need to continue focusing on.
Close control: his control can be a little loose under pressure, as seen in the defeats away to Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
Positioning: there are times when he appears to lose concentration and simply drift about the area.
Finishing: He has taken just one shot on goal so far this season, which suggests that he is not a particular threat from either open play or set-pieces.
What the experts say:
Vienna-based journalist Fabian Zerche: "Wimmer is still raw and has some errors in his game.
Conclusion:

Hahaha, tbf I wish it was... we've conceded more goals than anyone outside the bottom 3 and we have Lloris in goal.Is that a challenge?
Because the 'blackbox' suggested so?Then why the fuck are we signing him?
Lol it's just papers chatting shit, when we sign him I imagine a headline like 'Spurs STEAL Woolwich, Liverpool & Manchester City Target'So much for all done and dusted, apparently arseholes are jumping in for him.
That is so fucking lame I just had to laugh at it great post!
Let's just hope that he doesn't turn forty orange
