Club forcing him out the door to accomodate Lukaku and give Ziyech another chance, were slowly but surely going backwards on everything we tried to build these last 2 seasons.

here are the players I have issues with 

    
Antonio Rüdiger    (ONLY becuase of contract situ)
Malang Sarr   sell him or loan him
Ben Chilwell    worrying me a lot, he was expensive and is not playing well   
Marcos Alonso  ageing and limited against a lot of teams
Saúl Ñíguez   looks a huge bust so far
Ross Barkley    sell
Lewis Baker   sell
Hakim Ziyech    getting sick of him
Christian Pulisic   TOO MANY injuries
Callum Hudson-Odoi    damn enigma

Musonda (sell or realease or something, lolol)

I never wanted Ziyech, I was always aginst buying him

donkey farmer league flat track bully with major attitude issues for years

and too old when we bought him

he turns 30yo next season, so his value is already way dropping

🤣

Nobody is forcing him out the door. Lets be fair here.

Another of the big arguments was he played with a CF at Leipzig, Lukaku is a CF yet hes rarely featured with him. 

I said last season I felt Tuchel would lose faith in him and I think the signs couldn’t be clearer.

Not saying Werner is happy to play second fiddle to Lukaku because he clearly isn't but good luck to finding a decent backup to Lukaku that will be happy to just sit on the bench and collect the wages every week. If Tuchel is just gonna play Lukaku through heaven and hell every week, then we'll have the same issue like Spurs did when they couldn't find anyone decent to be the backup ST because they have Kane.  

As for Werner and his situation, hardly a surprise to see that story (though a bit convenient of Matt Law to run it after back-to-back losses). If the same happens with the others, then Werner wouldn't be the only one looking to leave. There were the same stories, for example, about Pulisic towards the end of last season. That said, Matt Law's premise of the story seems to be revolve around Lewandowski going to PSG and Haaland leaving Dortmund. If Lewandowski stays at Bayern, then what? Werner may have succeeded under Nagelsmann but if Lewandowski is still there, he'll remain as their #1 striker and Bayern also have the likes of Sane, Gnabry, Muller, Coman etc on the wings. Plus, the sporting director - Hasan Salihamidzic - who previously turned down Werner is still there. If he/they didn't want Werner when he was flying high, it's highly debatable that he/they would want him now, even if his former manager is there. As for Dortmund, unless Werner is just desperate to play, then it's kinda unlikely he would go there since he said he joined us to win trophies and Dortmund don't really win trophies, apart from maybe the DFB Pokal. On top of that, I believe it was pointed out here recently, Dortmund have never spent more than €30 million on a player. So will they spend more than that on Werner? Recent German reports didn't report Werner on Dortmund's target list and there's also the fact Werner is earning big wages. If those two clubs aren't possible, then what?

Just like your return here 😅

Most managers would play them together - can be a dynamic duo in this climate of one up front ala Dixon/Speedie Hutch/Ossie, Hasselbaink/Gudjohnsen - no brainer

Issue number 350 of the Weekly Post presents the estimated squad transfer values of the 98 teams in the big-5. The figures were calculated on the basis of the exclusive CIES Football Observatory algorithm. The two teams having invested the most to sign their current players, Manchester City and Manchester United, also are at the top of those with the highest estimated squad value.

The Manchester teams would potentially collect more than €1.2 billion in transfer indemnities if they decided put all their current squad members on the market. Chelsea completes the podium with an estimated squad value of €946 million. Barcelona heads the rankings in the Spanish Liga (€896M), Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga (€890M), Paris St-Germain in the French Ligue 1 (€808M) and Juventus in the Italian Serie A (€618M).

The estimated transfer value of all English Premier League players totals €8.9 billion (€445M per team on average). For the other leagues of the big-5, these figures are €5.3 billion for the Spanish Liga (€263M per club), €4.5 billion for the German Bundesliga (€251M), €4.4 billion for the Italian Serie A (€222M) and €3.4 billion for the French Ligue 1 (€172M). The individual estimates for all big-5 league players are available here.

We are linked with Nkunku and Wirtz. I would accept the Frenchman to replace Pulisic in a heartbeat, he is lit.

Rather Nkunku than Wirtz. 

Nkunku offers a lot both on and off the ball.
