You’re including Werner’s 23/24 Bundesliga stats;
For us Werner in 23/24 got 2 goals and 4 assists, for Leipzig he got 2 and 1.

So in England, Werner’s sitting on 10 G/A in the past two seasons to Grealish’s 14, but regardless, both are shit and have put up shocking numbers.
I was just replying to someone who said in the last two seasons Werner had more goals and assists than Grealish and the stats I gave were for the last two seasons not by club.

If it was just for us then Grealish had 0
 
The 2nd half of last year, Sonny seemed to age years. The guy who made a career of running past defenders was routinely caught from behind. The example in the EL final was just sad to see.

Doesn’t mean we don’t need help at the LW. Odebert especially seems promising. But need at least a bridge option to bolster the attack.

And of course a 10!
 
Because Timo Werner is a plays on the last shoulder direct attacker and Grealish has spent seasons playing as a deep winger whose role was to retain the ball draw fouls and be a generally effective tactical option under Pep.

His numbers at Villa where he was giving licence to create and score were superior. These comparisons are stupid. I don’t want us to sign Grealish but he’s a much better footballer than Timo Werner.

Ahhh got it. So Pep didnt want him scoring goals or assists for City. Thanks for clarifying
 

*2 of the goals where Bundesliga

Turbo Tim got 6 involvements in 815 minutes playing for Spurs in the PL in 23/24
In 24/25 he got 3 assists in 508 minutes
1,323 minutes. A goal or assist every 147 minutes. Or 1.63 games.

Over all of 23/24 - 24/25 Grealish played 1,716 minutes and had 6 goal involvements. 286 minutes per goal. 3.17 games.

Pretty poor from Jack there.

There's probably circumstances that stats can't account for. How those minutes were allocated, whether the player was coming back from injury, who the opposition was etc etc etc.
But if anyone is wetting the bed for Grealish but hard on Werner, maybe they should think twice.
 
I think Grealish would be a mistake…. We obv desperately need a 10 but a guy who’s basically not played in 2 years seems like a bad idea
 
It's actually embarassing.

It's August and we are calling Grealish to see what his situation is.

Clear we have no plan. Absolute clowns, running around seeing who is available and where a deal is doable.
