Seems smart business, which doesn't break the bank.

If he slots in well then activate the option and it's not a great amount of money. If he doesn't slot in well, thank him for his time and let him return to his parent club.

I'll never understand why so many people get upset over loan deals.

Agreed. For a 'relatively' low spend it's a 'try before you buy' deal.

If it’s a pure loan I get it. Sometimes people don’t like short term fixes if they think it might impact the long term but this is a loan deal with an option to buy at around £13m.

So it’s a short term and potentially long term fix, entirely within the clubs control. About as good a deal as you can do. Try before you buy.

If it were up to me I'd loan-to-buy every fucking transfer. There's only one player I'd make an exception for and his name is Harry Edward Kane.

After Tanguy Ndombele, every transfer needs an extensive try-out period before we buy.

Such a clickbait headline.

“Simon Jordan isn’t convinced that the former Chelsea striker is good enough to join Postecoglou’s side.”

So he’s not convinced. Not much in that reallly.

Yep.

I'm assuming those numbers are bang up to date. If they are then I actually find them surprising as last 3 or 4 games our press has gone, a couple of those games it was non-existent (and IMO was the root of our issues) - so just imaging what those numbers would look like if we had a fit squad and could play our best team!!!

The interesting comparison that I see with Liverpool is the use of players within an aggressive pressing structure. Everyone and their dog is fixated on Nunez, it's not just rival Twitter but the established media too all focus on him missing goals, his XG numbers etc. But despite him being a very poor finisher his running at the oppo, his presence in the box creates havoc and he's pulling oppo defences all over the shop. The result of this is only City have scored more goals this season (LFC 43, City 45 and us 42) IMO take Nunez out of LFC they don't get close to this number.

It's hear where I see the potential of Werner, his running, his pace to get behind the oppo, technically his build-up is also very good, probably better than Johnson's. I've no idea if he will work out or not (I'm glad it's a loan to see if he does) but if he does succeed I'm not expecting it to measure in the number of goals HE scores, it will be in the number of goals Spurs scores. There will the the purple and gold mob however tweeting and retweeting the rival fan banter about his goal tally such is going on with Nunez and LFC right now.

Good post.

Didn't need the 'Purple and Gold' bit though, as the rest is on point.
