Player Timo Werner

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I can't believe the powers-that-be thought that this was going to be a good signing. I appreciate it was only a loan deal, but his wages and non-HG status should have made it a no-no. He's just not good enough for PL.
He's an interesting player. If you went back to 2020, when he came to the league, you would have been reading about what a good finisher he was. There was such tremendous hype around him, but even then some analysts were warning that his game might not translate well to the Premier League. I think the conditions for him to succeed would involve having to start and not playing as a wing. That was not going to be the case with Spurs, which makes me wonder why they wanted him. There are parts of his game that still stand out (pace and crosssing) and I hope he can go somewhere and still be successful. Seems like a good guy.
 
Did ange made a comment on him that he isnt part of his plans or anything?
Or do we just pretend that he doesn't exist anymore?
I know that he isnt in the el squad

Not sure other than him throwing him under the bus that time after a poor performance from him and most of the team after a poor result!

But he’s good at that trying to be Mr Teflon!

'Timo is also training with us and is getting pretty close to being available.'

So he should have been back ready to play in March I would have thought.
 
Stealing a wage basically

Most people have to work their asses off to make in 2 years what he makes in a week.

And what does he do. Train!! That’s it.
It’s absolutely mental.

We must pay him and Reguillon the better part of £1 million a month to do absolutely fuck all.

What a fantastic businessman Daniel levy is to sign off on those wages at a time he says we are a little bit broke!
 
He played against Man City after that and has been in training every week, he's just not worth using.

Nah- he is worth using sometimes, just not much. Ange certainly has no idea how to coach or rotate players. As soon as he finally got Timo enough time to find form and score, he excoriated him and consigned him to the bench.

There's a way to get productive contributions from Timo- Ange just has no clue how to do it.

I meant with the domestic campaign ending as it is. Might as well focus on using players that could be here next season.
 
Nah he's done at spurs. Ange made that so

A shame though as he is easily our most effective creative winger.
I don’t agree with that last sentence but it’s a totally pathetic waste of resource having him here and making no use of him at all.

So when Herr Levy come out and says we need to be prudent in the market, or some other bullshit, I wish somebody would ask him why are you paying some cunt 170k a week to do next to fuck all for a year?
