Are you working with a geological timescale?

I am indeed. When it suits me. Slow food. Slow travel. Slow brain. Sloe gin.

Interesting article on FourFourTwo on him

Great little read, thanks for sharing ..

The parts I particularly liked were these.......

Turning weaknesses into strengths is something Wimmer has prided himself on. Now, with a buffed-up chest and body built for purpose, the fast, robust and technically-gifted defender is one of the strongest players in the Bundesliga and rarely gets pushed off the ball.

Another strength off the pitch is his clear determination to succeed. He admitted in an interview with kicker: "I wasn’t surprised people said I should leave after how little I played. Some said I should go, but I was determined to take this chance. I knew my chance would come and that I had to take it." And so he did.

His style appears to suit the Premier League, with pace, power and technical skill all on show frequently.


At least we know we're getting someone who not only appears to suit the style of football in our league, but is also willing to work hard to not only succeed as a player, but also improve on weaknesses within his game. Mentality wise, he seems about as close to a Pochettino type player as we could get.
