This can be moved to the general thread now.
Bizarre player. I’m not sure what Chelsea did to him but he was the never the same
Shame really as he seems a nice genuine guy.
With his pace, if he could finish reliably he’d be a decent option.
Never recovered from his time at Chelsea with his erratic form all seeming to be mentally based. I hope he rediscovers his form and enjoyment of the game somewhere less pressured.

It's interesting how Ange treated him. One of his earliest transfer decisions last summer was to bring him back and pay his large salary, presumably thinking he'd be an important player with Perisic and Solomon leaving. Then after saying he'd never criticise his players he absolutely roasted him in public after Rangers away then banished him permanently a few weeks later.
And rightly so. At ibrox he was a fucking disgrace. I despised him after that game. It’s fair enough having a poor game and things not happening for you in a match but to not actually try or run is criminal. This guy relies on pace and he jogged about being a man down at Ibrox where it was hostile. I’m glad Ange outed him and should have been sent back to Germany that night.
It's a shame that nice guys very rarely succeed at a high level, but apart from a couple of flashes, this loan deal hasn't been worth the cost in wages. I would rather we had persevered with one of the youngsters.
However, I wish him well for the future.

I hope he takes a gamble on himself and tries what Mario Götze did. Drop down a level to a slightly smaller top league (Götze went to the Netherlands) and try to either re-find his form or rework his game so that he can be a productive player.
He could probably do decently in the Netherlands or Portugal.
Said it before but I think Ange thought he could turn Werner around, utilise his pace and get the best out of him in his system. He said something in one of his press conferences around December/January about liking players with a sort of potential redemption arc story. Was pretty clear last season that he wasn't worth re-loaning.
What a complete waste of time and money
He will end up at West Ham. After 5 years in turkey
Not quite on the same level, but his brain did a Deli Alli
With his earlier pedigree, the first loan was understandable, it was worth a shot to see if we could turn things around for him. But the second loan....based on what we'd already seen....was beyond absurd.
Haha, yet another genius call from this forum’s chief dunce.
Your reputation as a clueless buffoon enhanced again.
The bloke and his redemption arc crap. As Big Pussy Bompensero said "Only Noah's got an Ark !" How about, buy quality get Balon dor. Like Luka Modric destroyed England at Wembley win the race to get him amazing footballer.
It is odd because last season he actually had a formula for Werner that worked. Use his speed and play in crosses to Johnson/whoever is on the other post. It was quite effective.
Then for this season he seemed to want Timo to shoot more and all of it collapsed.
