Keyblade Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Werner is basically an advanced Ollie. Faster, better touch, better technique...but equally as braindead at times. I definitely wouldn't say no to him. I'd rather an advanced Danny Ings though, or a return of 19/20 Ings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like DS would've been all over this guy if Luiz was going given he does similar job. Does feel like an Everton signing on 12 month loan deal. Perhaps Southampton aswell if they lose Ward Prowse.

Zatman Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 2 hours ago, Keyblade said: This is ridiculous. He was the standout player in a World Cup winning team. The only thing he has in common with Balotelli are the eccentric haircuts. He didn't get on with Ole and whatever Rangnick was supposed to be, but that's hardly hardly a blight on what has been a great career so far. He was great under Mourinho, world class at Juve and for France. Mourinho never wanted him but Solskjaer always believed in him. Was his youth coach Ferguson was spot on about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, an " advanced Ollie " with better touch and technique, isn't a bad thing. I've seen people say similar about Jonathan David. I still think Ings has it in him though. It's just been an indifferent season for many. Edited June 9, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people say similar about Jonathan David. I still think Ings has it in him though. It's just been an indifferent season for many. But Werner doesn’t have good technique, that bit was lacking even back at Leipzig. He’s also underperforming his xG something brutal and after a while it can’t all be explained with bad luck. I’m sure Chelsea would like to upgrade on him but that will be difficult considering the wages they decided to give him. Spotrac says he has £272k per week which is more than Salah, Kane etc, so he’s not going anywhere even on loan unless Chelsea decides to cover half his wages or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Now Targett has gone it's clear we'll be getting a Left Back in next. Bassey seems the most obvious link - but can't see us sanctioning a £25m fee for a backup. But those quoted prices are there to be negotiated I suppose. Hickey we've been linked to for so long it would make sense but think his profile has grown that his price will be higher than the £15m quoted last year.... And if he does move as a backup, it'll probably be to a European team with more games and therefore more chances. Arsenal with Tierneys injury history makes perfect sense. Sergio Gomez was mentioned as some one we've scouted but nothing more than that. Quentin Merlin was linked and debunked by two journos within a day. But he appears to be a good option too. Is there anyone else? With just those 4 options I'd be thinking Hickey>Bassey>Merlin>Gomez would be my preferred order Edited June 9, 2022 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got more chance of regular first team football elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot of factors make it a non-starter though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HalfTimePost Posted June 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2022 That's what he thinks. He'll be at home visiting family in rural Uruguay during his summer break. He'll hear a long, faint noise in the distance "yeeeeeeeeaa" Nobody else will be able to hear it and he'll shrug it off. Only for it to get louder and louder until finally a footstep crunches the gravel on his driveway. A few more crunches and a knock at the door. "Yeeeaaaaah course Luis, I understand what you're saying but calm down and let me and Christian show you a Powerpoint" 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhyped “young” (now 25/26 I believe) English midfielder who happens to play for a fashionable London team.
