I think he drifts in a lot as most wingers tend to do these days. Seems really handy in and around the edge of the box so could likely play where he wants.
Fingers crossed he keeps pushing on. Looks like a really promising lad.

Can't believe people are wetting the bed over us signing Werner on loan again.
He fills a gap that Solomon, Gil and Perisic ultimately couldn't do last season and one has already left and the other 2 seemingly have no future at the club for different reasons.
Werner was actually decent for us and if you go back and watch he contributed to a lot more of our goals than his 5 G/As.

I think it's a case of him being a useful player and the bigger money needing to be spent elsewhere for now. We have Son for the left wing who hardly gets injured and he can also play on the right or behind the striker. I'd rather be dropping £40m + on an area that really needs attention like a centre forward or defensive mid for now. He'll contribute through the season no doubt.
Sound business.... Thought he did well for us last season.. he has that unteachable thing that is valuable.. pace!! his finishing could do with improving but hey he's a winger...
A lot of whether timo is depth or a starter depends on the fitness of Richarlison.
Lets be honest, he doesn't have a good injury record. Son will be moved to CF and you'll find that werner plays lots of minutes.
Don't have any faith we will bring in a top CF.
The spanner in the works here is whether Veliz stays or goes on loan. That's a lot pressure on a young kid though.

Despite the fact that Ange was very clear that the most work we needed to do in the market was to improve in the final third, Werner pretty much guarantees that we start next season with the same starting front 3 as the one we ended last season with.
Reserve your judgement until the window is closed.
If Werner is our worst option at LW then we've upgraded the squad.
Solomon and Gil will be gone.
He has a 1 in 3 GA, and although his finishing is woeful, is a good option.
His 2 goals and 3 assists came in just 800-odd minutes too.
If it's the only business at LW then yeah, it's a safe and uninspiring choice. But there's like 3 months before the window closes.

Spurs should sign Leandro Damiao.
I reckon we could get him now.

I’m not going to come close to saying that Werner is going to be a fabulous signing for us, but at the very least he’s a bother to the opposition. If I’m a right back playing against us, I’ll maybe think twice about going too far forward because I’ve got this guy to try to catch if we lose the ball. Someone with his pace is more than a talent based signing.
i think the wide forwards are the area that needs most attention. richy is fine if you can actually get the ball in the box. we cant even do that.
if we dont sign some quality for the wide positions then well be hoping something mad happens like bergvall takes off and maddison can play wide or something. something to give us some creativity and nous from wide. it will no doubt take a load of injuries for it to be forced on us too.
cant see how we finish above 8th if we are going into a new season with 2 forwards who cant play through sides sitting deep. not only that, but it will be one fucking frustrating watch again. a season of watching incompetent wide forwards just cause attacks to break down because they dont know what to do in tight areas.
100% this. We are swapping Werner for 3 players' minutes who for various reasons are not up to it.
The combined wages of those 3 will also be far in excess of Timo's 165k and we are not paying a fee so I don't see what the fuss is.
Son - Richy - New
Werner - New - Johnson

Werner should not be in our best XI but he is proven, solid cover for Son. He will do absolutely fine against lower half and EL opposition.Werner - New - Johnson

What is fundamental is that we add to his signing with a shithot starting forward (RW) and a proper CF rotation option. We need someone to push Richy and given his injury concerns, share the minutes.
We can't go into another season with makeshift cover at CF or taking punts on our youngsters, none of them are ready yet (Parrott TBC).
At least it sounds like a loan.
I shudder at the thought of his level once his pace goes

How are you coming to this conclusion?
Werner is LW cover and we haven't spent any transfer budget on him - how does this impact what we do at CF and RW?
We will have to add this profile on the RW as sadly Son will still be our starting LW next season. Son/Werner at LW is wrapped up already.
Who is a good RW option?
because we aren't signing another 2 forwards on top of the x2 CMs and a defender that we need to bring in.
If we get a CF from here that is probably reasonable to expect but with Richy staying there is ZERO chance Levy is sanctioning a bug enough spend to get a better striker than Richy. It's just not how he has ever operated.
I think right wing yes we could do with a much better all round player than Johnson there. Effectively he'll be Son cover for the left wing or to come off the bench and stretch teams and cause problems when things aren't going our way which I'm personally ok with.
