Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

[easley91]

Can FINALLY post in here.. I like him and I think once the players get used to his movement he'll be useful.

And was certainly worth the wait

I'd be shocked if we don't sign him for 15m in the summer

He has great movement and speed. I can see when fully functioning a centre forward scoring load of taps ins from his low crosses when he beats the offside trap

 

[Fergus]

Did well, looked to be our liveliest attacker while playing against the best (and fastest) right back in the world. I think he'll rip Brentford a new one if he starts.

 

[Dr Know]

If Timo (a loan player) is getting stick having been here for such a short time, I would imagine Nusa at 30M would be written off from his first training session

 

[noggen]

Welcome to the club Timo! Hope you will do well.

 

[jpascavitz]

When Son comes back soon, I'm really interested to see how Son - Timo - Richy rotation works out. I think it could be exciting as any of those three are pretty interchangeable at times.

Worst case scenario £15m for an impact sub of his quality against tired legs is great value. Personally I think he's got a bigger role to play in the future, but I just can't see us turning that down if we sort out our non-HG numbers.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Already love him. Thought he was excellent.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Heavily involved in 3 goals in 3 games so far.

 

[Hazelton]

I'd have him permanently.

 

[Snarfalicious]

I'd have him permanently.

Yeah, for me it’s starting to be a no-brainer. Still a ways to go until the end of the season but he’s showing his worth and I think just having his experience has been super helpful and will continue to be.

 

[Super_spurs25]

He was brilliant second half. Nice to see him making an impact and grab another 2 assists. He's got 3 assists in 2 league games. Really hope he can grab a goal in the coming weeks.

 

[easley91]

Take the pressure of being the goalscorer off his shoulders and watch him thrive. I think we may well be making his move permanent.

 

[mdharris]

Was excellent in the second half. Really enjoyed seeing him in space. We need to keep finding him there.

 

[Misfit]

Like the cut of his jib. He's never a striker. That's where Chelsea went wrong. He's a forward who might sometimes go on a scoring run.

His movement and intelligence combined with his pace is a hell of a weapon to have in your arsenal though.

 

[amathews3416]

The man certainly knows how to find space. Always running in loads of it.

 

[KaribYid]

Yep. Once we look at him as a productive winger rather than a prolific scorer, he's a a very good player to have in the squad.

 

[robotsonic]

Just has an air about him of being able to make something happen and to be able to get in behind. It gives the opposition a problem just him being on there. If he keeps it up then it's absolutely dopey if we don't sign him. In impact/£ terms I don't see how we will ever find better value in a player for the now and for the next 2-3 years.

 

[Hazelton]

He was one of those that I'd forgotten about to be honest, then when we were linked with him it just made sense. Really hoped he would do well, can't think of many better forward options that suit our style and just fit perfectly.
