Talking about the one in the OP :p There aren't any vids of him in particular from this season unfortunately, just had a browse :(

You can see a bit of him from 5:13 here:



Lord almighty. Germany are going to a force for the foreseeable future. So much attacking talent

Yeah, watched Stuttgart few weeks back and saw this kid, Timo Werner, only 17 and playing regular. They reckon he might make the WC squad too, lightning pace.

I have looked, not for me mate. Will never be good enough to be a first teamer, and wasting a squad place of someone that could actually improve us, or at least have the future potential to.

I see where you stand but respectfully i have to disagree. We are already bundled with "potential world beaters" and "classy players" but we really lack that grit/determination/hardworker to balance it out. We lack that player that would run after a ball even when the scoreline shows we are out of it, a player that would close of opposition time after time and raise our team's spirit during the game. We are getting spoilt when we feel we deserve only the best player/highest rated player for each position, look at ManU when they won the league. Besides RVP, Rooney not many players on that team are WClass or close to it (many being squad players sprinkled with potential stars) but they complimented each other and won as a team. At this point average is what we need because we know that average will come into the team knowing he has to work hard to play and won't take for granted the opportunity afforded to him and will cherish each game as his last instead of feeling entitled to play.

Yeah he's a hard worker which is to be admired, but this is a player regarded as not good enough for West Brom at the end of the day.

I rate Volland but I just don't see it now that we have Lamela.

Timo Werner on the other hand. Just pay what ever it takes. And also work out how the hell Stuttgart keep producing young talent, if we had half the end product from our academy that they have from there we'd be laughing
