He’s played on the left plenty, and I’d actually say that’s probably a better fit for him in Ange’s systemYou do know Werner is a striker?

So two goals in two starts you say? Prolific!!!8 appearances, 2 goals, 0 assists.
RB Leipzig played 16 games. He missed 4 due to abductor pain or back issue. On the bench for 4 other games. Played 8, started 2 and subbed in other 6.
I guess RB Leipzig has no use for him.
I miss the days of CM when I totally believed I was the first person to ever scout Kerlon.If it was not for FM and YouTube clips, I would not be considered the preeminent football scout in my house.
So totally fits the bill of what Ange wants? Class, I’m in.He plays either side also.
You do know Werner is a striker?
Sure, that’s agreed. But my point was don’t make a point with a pointless video as there’s no point.Richy has never been near peak Werner levels.
And Bobby SmithJimmy Greaves played for Chelsea, turned out to be one of our greatest players... Maybe The best
I guess the counterpoint would be that Ange’s system creates that space in behind. Our main offenseive strategy has been to suck teams out and then quickly play the ball through the middle into the space behind. Ange wants a striker that will: press hard, be a direct and pacy runner through the middle, and that has movement good enough to score the tap in goals johnson, porro, etc create with their crosses. That seems like the pre-Chelsea Werner to me. How many times have johnson or son gotten out into space and richy was two steps behind the play? Werner definitely missed some sitters at Chelsea, but his movement is good.trying to understand what people are basing the optimism on Werner on?
has anyone watched him since he has gone back to Germany? From my understanding teams just don’t leave space to run in behind and he struggles
I think the ITK we got a few weeks ago was that we were looking for an attacking player who could play across the front line.Wherever he can play it's as the central striker that Postecoglu wants him, that's the gap that needs filling so it has to be his intention doesn't it?
I know that. Haven’t public when he left chavs, who mainly played him off the left. He said he sees himself as a striker and not a wide player, and that is where he wants to play, and i agree. Play him to his strengths. We already have Kulu playing out of position. Why don’t we just add to the confusion.You do know Werner can also play on the left and right? Exactly what we need.
So expecting a hat trick on his debut at Old Trafford is a no-go?I think if we could all just approach this signing with zero expectations, that’d be best. Don’t rule out any success before he kicks a ball for us or think he’s going to magically recover form from 4ish years ago. Pie in the sky stuff, right?
Going back a bit the great jimmy greavesJust in the premiership era, gallas was good, cudicini was solid. Even gudjohnsen wasn't a total flop. There's probably more I'm missing but just off the top of my head
No but don’t expect him to score 5, be realisticSo expecting a hat trick on his debut at Old Trafford is a no-go?
Yes but at the moment that's the hole we need to fill and if it works out then Sonny can be that player on the left.I think the ITK we got a few weeks ago was that we were looking for an attacking player who could play across the front line.
I don't think striker specific was the target - because Sonny can play that position also.
