I still have no clue how he went from sniper to not being able to hit the broadside of a barn

he was so good at most other things

just was one of the worst shooters I have ever seen here

I think it became worse no doubt,  but he apparently had a poor conversion rate even before he arrived (despite his good goal record).

He wasn’t expectional in Leipzig this season, but selling him for 25 million and buying Aubameyang for 15… Safe to say it wasn’t the greatest idea.

with 4 of his 5 goals vs a 5th tier team lmao

I think what we have seen this season for RBL is pretty much his natural level. He played out of his skin in a system that nagelsmann designed for him, other than taht scoring like 15-20 goals allcomps while startin most games is probably a realistic long term return for him anywhere outside England.

Werner truly loves this club.

I miss Werner. 

Not his lack of finishing in front of goal.

But his attitude and work rate on the pitch., especially off the ball with how he stretched opposition back lines, giving the likes of Mount and Havertz more room to operate.

Under the right manager, I'm sure he could have done a better job than a lot of our attackers have this season.

Bad decision to let him go and sacrifice his playing time for the likes of Lukaku.

Isn't it weird how after Chelsea spell he couldn't even put numbers he did before for Leipzig for years in Bundesliga? Not even close. Like we did some damage on him.

different times.... different managers and in this way different systems and tactics 

he was smart to enjoy the hype and get a huge contract with us... besides he won a champions league and probably will be the best archievment in his carreer 

I doubt that he will have another opportunity to win such a important trophy

Interesting move for him going to Spurs. I think he could get a decent amount of goals but how his all round game is, he wont offer what Son offers. His work rate ties into Ange’s high pressing approach though.

if leipzig is ok to see him leaving it is because he has been a flop

Maybe. Hasn’t worked second time round this season particularly for him but he scored a good amount when he initially went back - 16 in all comps. He won’t be playing every week when Son returns I’d imagine. Just depth.

Nonetheless been a flop. Wasted just as many chances for leipig than for us.

Him coming back to the PL is understandable move to save his career. Will be sad to see him at tottenham but he will not make them much stronger. Their counterattack will be even more rapid now tho.
