Jase 43,479 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Werner on joining us (the English translation should be 99% right lol)... https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/rb-leipzigs-timo-werner-darum-gehe-ich-zu-chelsea-71554078.bild.html “The discussions with those responsible at Chelsea were so good that I ended up choosing Chelsea. The coach (Lampard) in particular was standing behind me and really wanted me to know that I was going to Chelsea, so I can feel as comfortable as here" “In the conversations with me, the coach often emphasized how much he wanted me, how much he valued me as a person. Of course it is difficult to give up the comfortable position like I had in Leipzig for years, but you can only get better in a career if you take the next step.” "Otherwise I would always stay in Leipzig but I have decided on something new and hope that it will continue like this."

If Lampard keeps us moving in the right direction i think he could be a big help for us attracting some top players to the club.

That seems more relevant to those who are coming through our academy. I'm sure Ziyech and Werner would know about Lampard's playing career but based on their comments, it seems like Lampard brought that personal touch, the kind of 1-on-1 personal man management needed when trying to persuade those two to join us. killer1257 and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but we had it a little bit easy because both Werner and Ziyech wanted to go to Bayern last year, but Bayern never went all in for them and both Ziyech and Werner got pissed, so they signed new contracts. Especially Ziyech, who made interviews indirectly dissing Bayern, got mad. So lamps 1 on 1 personal management was something they really wanted and appreciated. Also, Werner will earn a lot of money at Chelsea. That probably helps too lol. Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Loving the quotes what I am reading about him and how things came about after talking with Frank.

Liverpool were widely assumed to be leading the race for his signature, while Inter and Manchester United were both touted as potential suitors. "It's no secret that there were several offers," Werner confessed. "There were some top clubs that fought for me. The entire Chelsea package was the best for me, my game and my career. "For me, money was never a decisive factor. If it was, I could have gone to China. Chelsea is a top name in European football. There is a really good team in Chelsea with high quality and who want to attack the top of the Premier League. I haven't regretted my decision for a second. "I've been to London twice as a tourist and a couple of times as a player. For me, it is an absolute metropolis - the icing on the cake of my new contract and club."

Will they join up with the squad now and train with them immediately? I guess it makes sense to, get some of that adjusting out the way. Especially if pre season is as would be expected, much shorter than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it makes sense to, get some of that adjusting out the way. Especially if pre season is as would be expected, much shorter than usual. They might be given some fitness program to ensure they stay in shape but I doubt they will train with the squad immediately. The season, especially in Werner's case, just finished and Lampard would likely want them to take some time off, disconnect from football before coming back later. After all, Lampard has mentioned numerous times how Pulisic didn't have a summer break last year and that he had to be managed carefully in his first season in English football etc. Last thing he would want is Werner, Ziyech to get overworked before the new season even starts and then get tired later on, especially when next season is gonna be mightily congested.
