Yes for all his faults he is currently the only forward we have that can consistently beat his man.

If we are competing on multiple fronts next season I have no issue with Timo being rotated in and out at all. Against tired legs off the bench too, seems a great choice. I know the usuals will complain, but we could do a lot worse than grab a known entity that seemed to work pretty effectively in our current setup.
Plus if Ange wants him, then that says enough for me anyway.

Ange has more or less confirmed that Son is the starting LW as long as we have central strikers available.
So if we get someone in that can rotate with Richarlison that should mean that Son sees the majority of his minutes off the left.
I’d rather Son rotate with Richarlison and get a winger who can retain the ball better instead.
Nah.
No manager that actively wants to compete is going to fill his squad with a bunch of unproven youngsters and expect them to deliver.
Managers employment status is decided in the here and now. So they are naturally hesitant to rely on youth players. Look at how long it took for Foden to properly cement a place in the City squad. Literal years and he had to be convinced to stay a couple of times.
The only managers that actually pull of "youth revolutions" are internal hires from their clubs respective youth teams as well. Which is why they can pull it off. They know which youth players can make it and which that cannot.
Moore will be the third choice left winger behind Son and Timo and get garbage minutes when possibly because he is a 16 year old kid and Ange is not going to rely on a 16 year old when he has two options that he actually likes.
It’s a poor use of resources when you can put an academy player on a fraction of Werner’s wages on the bench instead.
That money could be directed towards a much better player instead.
Settling for mediocrity, hardly surprising though.
This 100%.
Cheap option FC.
Not serious enough sadly
Exactly. I'd rather let Santiago try and fail than be guaranteed Werner failing when it matters.
Should help us secure a top 8 finish, what more do you expect?!
Son likely to be first choice on the left so as long as we strengthen through the middle this is ok assuming we don't have the budget to go big on the left as well
Some utterly joyless cunts on here.
A majority of the academy lads won't ever be ready for the premier league tbh, to just be throwing them in hoping they'll perform is negligence.
