Timo Werner

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

"When he’s matched for pace along the backline, he isn’t as effective. So, this season, when Bayern Munich were forced to push Alphonso Davies to left back and David Alaba to center-back, Werner wasn’t productive. I look at teams in the Premier League and think that he could struggle against the likes of Liverpool. But, slower defenses like Sheffield United and Arsenal would get carved up by Werner."

Would have loved to have heard his opinion of which position and formation he suits.

That is why Werner wants to develop and is developing his all round game to be a multi-dimensional forward. He's said publicly that he needs to improve.

How soon do we do know it's official?

I still worry Liverpool might come in with a late bid.

I know he is seen more as a player who plays in a 2 upfront but surely if we are spending 50m on him he will be used as a striker and not outwide?

He's starting today for the KO v Padderborn, also no Havertz against Bayern

You'd hope so. I'm still confident pulisic is the better player out wide. I'm hoping he plays central

I can't see us going two up top and you don't pay this much for a player to make him a squad member.

I'm not a massive Tammy fan, I think he is way off what we need. I'm not saying before football stopped he didn't do well, he did, but if we are kick on we need a top class striker and Werner is the complete article he can and will be IMO.

We have Pulisic, Ziyech and CHO as our wingers to name a few, someone is going to miss out, for me it will be Werner through the middle with Tammy missing out.

Rafa Honegstein just confirmed it's a matter of dotting the I's and crossing the T's, its done, the terms are agreed and it's a matter of a medical and that's it.

I don't know why people are obsessed with thinking we'll move to 4-4-2 because of Werner. Sure, that's an option but we are getting him because of his versatility to play in various attacking positions. We may play him up front or as an inside forward of the LW, like he has been doing for Leipzig.

Where did he say it?

EDIT: Never mind.

So so so so so close! This just feels odd! Usually its heel dragging the whole time then bam work!

Watching him in the second half now. Looking out for how capable he is at dribbling/passing personally

RB have 10 men so he hasnt seen the ball at all but just now ran at 2 players on the counter from his own half. Poor pass to the support though.

RB are so deep hes definitely playing as a lone central striker lol
