Exactly, if he hits the ground running we'll have benefited and have a player we can sign next summer for relative peanuts. If not, he goes back to RBL having provided some short-term cover.Just read through seventeen pages regarding Werner.
My quick take is that the Club scouting on this one is unbelievable, been kept secret, and is one of quality with a sensible no risk option (ref: Porro, Kulu, Bentancur).
He can slot straight in anywhere across the front line, has pace, trickery and excellent ball control. At a time when we have Son out, Solomon yet to return and if Richy picks up a knock no experienced cover then this deal is all win, win for us.
Medium term Werner has six months to prove his worth, and Ange has time to shape his game for us. Werner has PL and European, International experience and adds competition for places.
With the possibility of European football next season, we can add quality to our depth at a reasonable cost, and still look to strengthen in other areas of the team come Summer.
Someone convince me that this signing has no upside?
