You have a point tbh, I’m over it now.
I was just hoping we’d get a Lw as our main signing this summer.

No way people want a 16 year old with barely any minutes in the first team to be our only LW option off the bench.
The same people will be up in arms when a 16 (soon to be 17)- year old inevitably doesn't perform to expectations (people want us to atleast try and win the competitions we're in) and before you know it, we'll have the tactical geniuses here calling for Ange's head when he doesn't play Micky at LW.

I actually think he's taken Perisic's place...
Experienced attacker, not necessarily dependant on providing goals, but chances for others...
Thing is, we've just gotta find those 'others'!
I can't help but wonder if now is the time to recruit and start bedding in Sonny's replacement. Timo won't be it in the long run. Maybe the club are thinking this is something to think about in the next summer window but I'd personally prefer it if they started work here sooner rather than later.
I think 9 and RW are bigger priorities
Richy is erratic at best and struggles with injuries, BJ is peripheral and others nothing other than GA (and we aren’t good enough to carry him at the moment), Kulu isn’t a RW
His Champions League, German Super Cup, German League Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Confederations Cup medals beg to differ.
He's professional, got bags of experience, can run for 90 minutes and creates a lot of opportunities for our strikers. As a rotation option on the wing, he is an excellent addition to the squad - although I would agree that he shouldn't necessarily be our first choice. But given that Ange likes to use all 5 subs in games, we need to make sure our rotation options are quality players (i.e. not Bryan Gil)
Great signing.
Clearly well liked by the squad, can hit the ground running, 6 extra matches before Xmas in the EL so will need to rotate a lot.
No involvement in the euros so can just recuperate and come back fresh.
Personally think he will outperform what he did last season.
LW sorted early. Onto the next one.

Solomon is gone.
Werner is back up for Son.
New CF incoming

Clearly shows he's better than Cole Palmer, Jack Grealish and Saka.10th highest Non-penalty xG P90
You'll never sing that
Of course it was Totti posting this shite.
Glad to have him back. 100% plsyer and offers a good option.
Happy to have him as a squad player, given the extra games we'll have this coming season, but I still think we need to splash out on at least one quality winger, especially if we ditch Solomon (which we should)...ideally someone who can put the ball in the back of the net.
Don't get me wrong, Werner did well at beating his man and getting the ball in, but his shooting is pretty awful, and that isn't going to change.
My theory on this is that we were all set to sign him at the end of the season, then he got that hammy injury. His main attribute is his pace, so this is us hedging our bets on how that injury comes out. If he recovers and the pace is still there, we've got him for probably about the same money after the loan fee for this year. If the injury is worse than we thought, then we release him back with no long term commitment.
If his pace is still there he's a useful player to have in the squad as an option but not a nailed on starter - also already knows the club, speaks English etc

Doesn't matter. Put the boy in goal if we need to just give him minutes!
