I don't rate him and my German Chelsea fans that I talked to do not rate him either. Not a good CF and only works as a winger or second striker. We do not play 4-4-2 and I do not think Lamps likes this formation either.

Werner is a small, very weak, technicaly not a World class Player with average passing. You can be a small CF, but you need World class technical abilities like Aguero. He is no Aguero. But hope I am wrong. Reece James great crosses will be useless for Werner

I don't know why you are being so negative about this. If Werner was 28 years old, yeah, your concerns might be really legit. But he still only 24 years old, there is still plenty of room for him to grow and improve.

If we start playing 4-4-2, we need to sell our midfielders because we have even for a three man midfield too many midfielders. Kova RLC Jorgi Billy Barkley Kante Mount. Sell at least 3 of them. I also hate 4-4-2

Would have liked Havertz more. Tall and World class technical abilities. We get instead a small, physical weak, technically not world class player with average passing.

Werner is physically More powerful than Havertz. Havertz is the better talent but he is a beanpole

Think of Werner as a 24 yo Fernando Torres when he came to Liverpool. Average in everything except pace and shooting which are still the among most important attributes for A striker. It’s. A gamble but if he stays healthy and gets on a streak we can go places with him.

 

Obviusly I would also rather have Havertz but he will cost almost twice as much and is even less suited to playing lone striker such even less addressing our need for one.

Out of all the strikers we have been linked with realistically (Edouard, Oshimen, Lautaro, Jovic), Werner is the best choice who fits us best.

It would be quite incredible IF we got Ziyech AND Werner when we are not even guaranteed to qualify for the Champions League next season yet.

Seems Roman isn't fucking about.

Not a good day to be Ed Woodward if this concludes today.

Great day to be Lampard.

50 million in today's transfer market is nothing and worth remembering that he costs less than what we paid for Morata and PSG paid for Icardi.

Lamps might not be a worldclass coach just yet but if he pulls this off after he secured Ziyech (and CHO contract which back then was great news) he is already worth his appointment cos he is building the future of this club. Guardiola-like pulling power at a club that has fallen from grace as fast as ours.

[Special Juan 28,141]

How young and fresh is our squad looking if this happens....exciting times.

Remember many ppl here seems to dead set saying Werner is definitely off to Pool.

I also forgot to tell that he is no world class finisher either.

Yeah right, Chelsea fans are famous for their patience and give young players the room for improvement. Chelsea fans slaughter Tammy (22 years old) every week for missing chances in PL, especially headers which is a weakness of Werner too, even when he plays injured he gets slaughtered. Why should it be different with Werner who has a lot to work on? At least get a player like Havertz or Lautaro Martinez that have higher chances of making it in Pl and are near World class and in my opinion, Lautaro is world class.

I really do not want us to play 4-4-2. Hate that system and if we play that, we need to sell 3 out of Kova RLC Barkley Billy Kante Jorgi Mount. I also do not think that Lamps is a master of 4-4-2 either.

I am not negative. I am realistic about Werner and I asked my German Chelsea friends if they agree and they seem to see the same weaknesses as I see it. I would love to be wrong though.

From Matt Law...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/04/timo-werner-agrees-join-chelsea/

Timo Werner has agreed to join Chelsea, who are on the verge of tying up a deal to sign the forward from Red Bull Leipzig.

As exclusively revealed by Telegraph Sport on Tuesday, Chelsea have moved to sign Werner after Liverpool did not meet his release clause which is reported to be worth around £53 million.

Werner has now agreed to join Chelsea on a contract worth almost £200,000-a-week and the club are now expected to agree a deal with Leipzig.

The signing will be a significant coup for Chelsea and head coach, Frank Lampard, as Werner had been tracked by Premier League leaders Liverpool and their manager Jürgen Klopp.

It remains to be seen whether or not Liverpool make any move to try to hijack Chelsea’s bid, but Stamford Bridge insiders are confident of the deal going through.

Werner will give Lampard plenty of options in attack, as he can play off both flanks, through the middle and with another striker.

Having failed with bids for Edinson Cavani and Dries Mertens in January, Lampard had spoken of wanting experience in his frontline and, despite the fact he is only 24, Werner has played in the Champions League and made 29 appearances for Germany. He has already scored 25 Bundelisga goals for Leipzig this season.

Werner is the second signing Chelsea have already made for next season, with Hakim Ziyech due to arrive from Ajax in a deal worth £37m.

Says the same guy who said Werner is video chatting with Klopp and is definitely signing for Pool just a few days ago?

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Just think of how the meltdown in the Liverpool forums after Werner and Klopp have not kept their mouth shut about this all year 😂

You criticize Werner for being weak anf small (when he is average kn both size and strength) and you list Lautaro who isn’t a midget weakling and not cut for PL as world class. Werner is the way better, more affordable and feasible deal here.

also Havertz who is costlier plays a position that does not even exist in our formation right now so really comparing apples and oranges.
