Timo Werner

[LAM09 7,043]

No shit, sherlock!

You were making out Bayern had him locked down to begin with. He ain't going to Bayern if teams like Liverpool are serious.

Was referring to your point about looking to get him. Based on Werner's previous comments, he definitely wants to join Bayern. Not sure if that has changed after the new contract but the assumption in Germany is that he'll still likely end up at Bayern, especially with Lewandowski already on the wrong side of 30.

A lot can change in 12 months

He is. The one on one used to be his weakness now its his stength. When a player with that amount of pace learns how to finish at that speed he is some force. He is like the Salah or Mane of central strikers right now in this form, maybe even a bit quicker. That second goal was brilliant, clinical like a surgeon.

He was always great on counter attacks. 

Both 2nd and 3rd goal, he has shitload of space. 

He struggles against packed defences.

Every striker struggles against packed defences. The 2nd goal he creates space himself. And he used to be quite wasteful even on counter attacks

Aguero is nice example of very allround striker that can move well around parked buses. Obviously thats big part of how city plays, but Jesus for example is nowhwere near that.

He was wasteful on counters indeed, but at the same time that was his greatest strength. His bigger issues are close ball control and composure.

You hardly get this much space in PL against the likes of Burnley or Newcastle where 8 players stands around penalty area for most parts of the game. Thats why there just arent this many goals like the one Werner scored.

You eventually get space against any team, or you can make it yourself. Pace s not just limited to 60 metre runs. Werner has explosive bursting speed as well.

None of it matters for us (unless we meet him in the CL in the future), as we are not going to get him.

He would get some space naturaly, but nowhere near enough to make him deadly striker with 20+ goals because we are now possesion based and we force opponents to park the bus.

Secondly, leipzig plays with two strikers and that already gives Werner even more space than single striker system.

He would be tailor made to our counter attacking team back in the day,  but nowdays we need someone ala Firmino or Aguero who are great with ball at their feet. Werner main issue is exactly that and thats why he is still in Leipzig despite racking up nice number of goals.

I'm huge fan of Werner he's one of the best finishers in the Germany league I hope he goes to Bayern Munich picture Liverpool signing him they would be scary with Lewandowski signing a new contract he might not want to go there or fingers crossed marina puts a bid in for him and German icon ballack can talk to him about going to Chelsea
