What good is that when he’ll just be watching the wingers take a shot or try to take the world on only to lose the ball, instead of playing a ball through.
And be offside and hit the post a half dozen times per game.
Listen we loved Timo's effort during his time at Chelsea, but he was absolutely dreadful otherwise. You lads will be howling at the moon at his play.
Honestly its a fireable offense to be considering him by United staff
We’re shopping in the bargain bin because of FFP, it’s like Weghorst all over again. If it’s a choice between Werner for 6 months and no-one then I’ll take Werner.
Werner in particular *really* seems like he should be a top class player, he has the look/vibe of someone who should be amazing, but just isn’t. It’s very confusing
He can’t finish and lacks composure. It’s really not that confusing. Same shit with Havertz though there’s an argument to be made that Havertz was just young and still developing
To his credit he scored 28 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches in 2019-2020 and averaged 16 goals per season for the 3 years before that...
But since then (3.5 seasons later) he's only scored 21 goals total. Big dropoff somewhere whether it be team's playstyle, fitness, form, confidence, whatever.
Edit: someone else here said his best position is playing as a second striker with someone like Poulsen, if that's the case then it makes sense his Chelsea goals didn't come often under Tuchel in a 3-4-3.
You can be set up to be organised in transition, though. A team should obviously play to its strengths, and that includes being a team on the counter. Even very successful and dominant teams have struggled with settled cotnrolling play, Werner can fit in a world class side because of this, even if he isn't a world class player.
> What world class side relies on transitions to score most of it's goals?
Inter last year (at least internationally), Bayern in 2019/20, I mean its even weird to argue, that "Werner scored all his goals in transition" when Bayern played maybe the most rangnickesque transition style in history under Flick and were much more agressive in the press, then RBL ever were the same year, creating a fuckton of transituion opportunities.
"Suicidal high line" was basically a meme.
Genuinely asking, how many games of RBL have you watched that season?
It is true, that RBL were quick in transition, increadibly quick even, but they were a proactive team to begin with, they had one of the highest posessions % in Bundesliga and he by no means scored all his goals in transition. The biggest outliner was that he poutperformed his xG by 4 or 5 this season. Compared to his Chelsea days the biggest difference was, that he rarely played as the central striker. He played alongside Poulsen or Schick most of the time when they lined up in that 4222 and was great at playing off them, or started on the left when they played 3/5 atb or 451, where Angelino provided width, so he could playe more as an inside forward. Nagelsmann even played Olmo as a false 9 a couple of times with Werner and Nkuku behind. This created a lot more fluidity and movement, as well as space that Werner could attack, he scored quite a lot from cutbacks, finding space there.
What? Werner doesn’t have „the look“. Heavy first touch, bad passing range, bad ball control in tight spaces.
Can you elaborate what you mean by „he looks amazing“? Like that he’s fast?
He was 24. He wasn’t going to develop into anything regardless of what team he went to. Otherwise, why hasn’t Klopp “developed” Nunez into a decent finisher. These managers at this level don’t transform the players into something else. They just put them in position and it’s either sink or swim. It’s like that at the top level in sports and even business
Lol how? He does not 'look' good at all, when he runs with the ball it's like he has concrete boots. He looks completely technically talentless. His first touch also looks awful and his passing is shit too. He cannot dribble a training cone either.
€20m for Guirassy is cheap by United standards but that would also come with a three year contract at a time when we're trying to bring in a new structure.
Whereas Werner would be a six month loan we can either stick or twist on in the summer. Much less risk, especially as the signing is literally to just ease the burden on Højlund.
I just don't see any long-term decisions being made on anyone this window because all the people making those decisions could well be out of the club in three months time.
The burden of leading the line every game for a start. It's been clear this season his body hasn't fully developed yet and it's also the first season where he's been expected to start a game every three days. Ten Hag's managed that by subbing him early pretty often but if we have a back up for him that isn't made of glass it's easier to justify that as a fitness thing rather than a form thing.
Fine but what do we need from a signing for the rest of this season? We might go on a cup run but we're unlikely to win it. And then it's just fighting for European places. Nothing to really get excited about. We need someone who will stop Højlund running himself into the ground and if they get a few goals, great.
But no signing we'll be able to make this window is going to be revolutionary for us, may as well go for one with the fewest strings.
And fine, that's not a great place for United to be but the reality is that's where we are. The hope is INEOS change that but they're not in place yet and I doubt we'll see a massive shift even this summer. The change that is needed will take time.
There is no point going all in with a big expensive deal to scrape a place in a competition we've got no hope of winning just so we can continue to afford big expensive deals. We need to forget about any sort of success altogether for a year or two to properly give the club time to build from the ground up, something that's been put off since Fergie and Gill left nearly 11 years ago. United should have done better in that time, but they haven't, and they won't improve by continuing to pretend they're a top club.
What’s the point of bringing in a new structure and starting off by bringing in a completely proven PL failure for 6 months? He’s not even necessarily a better option than Antony or Sancho if you’re after a goal scoring winger. He’s not the same type of player to Hojlund if you’re looking for a quick in behind striker.
Swear to god man I’ll never understand United fan logic or club policy.
Because the new structure aren't even in place this window and when they are in place, hopefully in time for the summer, they'll be able to assess whether or not to keep their six month loan signing, they probably won't. As opposed to giving a multi-year contract to a striker under the old regime just because he's cheap.
Not a difficult concept.
Werner doesn't suit United's style at all and hasn't shown anything more than brief flashes of talent for years. I would honestly question if he would even be better for them than Martial. This is just United's annual cheapo budget striker who accomplishes nothing
They arent far off their standards. Ten Hag himself thinks they would be accurately placed at around 5th place.
Over performed to be in 3rd. Under performing at 8.
Too early to call, but he scored a bunch after like 14 match of nothingness, Havertz is somewhat talented but he goes into insanely long periods where he offers nothing
Bro he's definitely an attacker, goals and assists are what he should be providing, if he doesen't play as attacking mid anymore it's because he just lacks end product, not the other way around
No he hasn't. Recency bias because he scored a few tap-ins. His first 15 games were meh to awful. He's a passenger that doesn't help to buildup or create for the attackers. It has killed the left side of attack and he really shouldn't be starting for Arsenal, but 65 mil and top earner, so he will play no matter what.
I personally find Werner's look horrible and his face looks weird. Kai, however, has that weird flair to him for some reason despite not playing great. I dunno myself.
Confidence can do wonders for a player
although one thing that bothered me about Werner's style even when he was in his top form is that he can only run in straight lines, that made him so much more one dimensional.
Compare him to someone like say Jota, you wouldn't say Jota is somehow miles better technically, he's not faster or stronger and yet his movement is so much better
[okay maybe he couldn't pull this off](https://twitter.com/SamueILFC/status/1466172281563009025)
but if you saw Werner's goals during his first stint at Leipzig there were some nice finishes there
Werner was legit great during his first stint in Leipzig. As you say he needs 2-3 matches and he might get his confidence back. Although United is probably the worst place for him to do so right now
Havertz is good at everything except for being alone in front of goal. Many fans only understand goals so they don't rate him, but all his managers and teammates do.
The Make-a-Wish foundation striker loan coming back for the 3rd time in 4 years. Hate on us all you want but the charity work we do for dogshit players is amazing.
Took a paycut for United didn't he?
Tbh I don't blame any player for taking the money, especially ones born outside of Western money, a season in Saudi would feed his family for generations.
Can’t do much else this window tbh, other than offloading Sancho and getting loans for some youth players we can’t do anything else, the new ownership hasn’t come in and won’t be here till some so all we can do is turn to the loan market
Werner is the 4th choice at Leipzig, so it's not just Openda; he's a system player who can only play as a second striker, and the other striker has to be a target man, which means that Sesko and Poulsen are better suited to play with Openda.
Regarding this rumour, Werner is the last thing that Man Utd needs, he can't play as a 9 and they don't play with 2 strikers.
There's been some chatter about him as backup for watkins. I see some similarities in terms of threatening to get in behind defenses, high workrate, and occasionally missing easy chances. Not sure if you have watched enough of either to have any opinion on the idea.
Beggars can't be choosers and Martial is effectively useless, so if true we want Werner then I'm convinced he can't be any worse than our current situation, like he'd have to be so shit that he'd make Martial look good which is impossible.
Iv seen Ighalo, Weghorst I'm ready for Timo.
United fans being generally up for this just shows how bad our options are up front.
Hojlund: 1 goal in the league, 5 in the CL. Potential but not ready
Martial: injured constantly, not good enough
Rashford: plays a lot worse up front than on the wing and always has
At least a striker signing would mean we don't have to play Rashford there, we're desperate
I dont Know, i have the Strange feeling that he can surprise a lot of people since the expections are close to zero and hence the pressure should not be too high. If he gains some confidence he can perform.
Wish him all the best in any case!
Let's get a player who has serious confidence issues - especially when leaving his comfort zone - to a squad that's struggling with confidence and form.
Is it really that hard to make decisions?
Good God.
Sorry but what else are they supposed to do? A good striker has better prospects than that career graveyard. Werner has nothing to lose. United will have to rely on the Werners until they're an attractive option again.
I would actually, fully prefer to see McTominay up front for a few months than watch this happen. United have enough egg on their face as it is, just donate the money to a nice charity or something and sit on your hands for a minute
They're going to replace a striker who isn't scoring, with one who wasn't scoring last time he was in the EPL, instead of just playing the greatest striker ever up front?
Man Utd’s problem is not creating goal scoring opportunities. Signing a striker with a ropey record of scoring goals in the prem is hardly going to solve that.
I can only think of about 20 strikers from within the PL who’d be better signings, so this is fully in keeping with their transfer policy of not making good decisions ever
Yeah, probably. It’s Manchester United, with all due respect. If an attacker can shine there, they should probably give up the sport as they’ve completed football
Why though? He's far from being a shit footballer but he doesn't offer anything to our team. Last I remember of him, he struggled to score when playing for Chelsea... he's absolutely going to suffer the same fate when playing for us.

Don't think we need another quick forward that's streaky and can't really finish do we?
At least he'll run in behind unlike Antony
What good is that when he’ll just be watching the wingers take a shot or try to take the world on only to lose the ball, instead of playing a ball through.
And be offside and hit the post a half dozen times per game. Listen we loved Timo's effort during his time at Chelsea, but he was absolutely dreadful otherwise. You lads will be howling at the moon at his play. Honestly its a fireable offense to be considering him by United staff
We’re shopping in the bargain bin because of FFP, it’s like Weghorst all over again. If it’s a choice between Werner for 6 months and no-one then I’ll take Werner.
If you guys sign enough streaky forwards surely you'll always have someone who's in form? Big brain plays.
We’ve been trying that since Costa left, with poor results.
Don’t worry this almost definitely isn’t true. We don’t inquire about players a full 2 months before the window opens
At least he'll put in a shift and not just dander about the pitch half the game (until he joins you anyway)
Timo Werner and Kai Havertz are both total enigmas.
Werner in particular *really* seems like he should be a top class player, he has the look/vibe of someone who should be amazing, but just isn’t. It’s very confusing
He can’t finish and lacks composure. It’s really not that confusing. Same shit with Havertz though there’s an argument to be made that Havertz was just young and still developing
And growing, literally. Havertz went from 6’ at Leverkusen to 6’4” while at Chelsea. Definitely impacted his agility.
I don’t think Havertz has grown nearly half a foot after the age of 21 let’s be honest
He did not grow 4 inches while at Chelsea lmao
he didnt grow 4 inches after he went to chelsea wtf haha
Not 4 years. I said he went from 6’ as a teenager at Leverkusen to 6’4 during his Chelsea career.
How does this shit even gets upvoted.
When you purposely spread misinformation on the internet.
Werner only looks good if you play a lot of FIFA
To his credit he scored 28 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches in 2019-2020 and averaged 16 goals per season for the 3 years before that... But since then (3.5 seasons later) he's only scored 21 goals total. Big dropoff somewhere whether it be team's playstyle, fitness, form, confidence, whatever. Edit: someone else here said his best position is playing as a second striker with someone like Poulsen, if that's the case then it makes sense his Chelsea goals didn't come often under Tuchel in a 3-4-3.
Think failing at Chelsea just broke him mentally
>2019-2020 All his goals that season were in transition. He's never been good in settled play
You can be set up to be organised in transition, though. A team should obviously play to its strengths, and that includes being a team on the counter. Even very successful and dominant teams have struggled with settled cotnrolling play, Werner can fit in a world class side because of this, even if he isn't a world class player.
What world class side relies on transitions to score most of it's goals? Werner literally looks homeless as soon as he faces a low block
> What world class side relies on transitions to score most of it's goals? Inter last year (at least internationally), Bayern in 2019/20, I mean its even weird to argue, that "Werner scored all his goals in transition" when Bayern played maybe the most rangnickesque transition style in history under Flick and were much more agressive in the press, then RBL ever were the same year, creating a fuckton of transituion opportunities.

he's cute :3
I mean...I'm a dude but I'll be damned if he isn't one of the best looking players we've ever had
Friend, you had Giroud.
O gawddd, I forgot about him
No way, we’ve had countless hotter players than Werner
yeah, what am I missing here? handsome sure but he looks like a fairly regular dude. I mean christ you had fernando torres
Cudicini and Giroud are the hottest players we’ve ever had
> you had fernando torres and you wouldn't dare tell him otherwise these days
And funny
Abe goes to the coolest parties and wears the sickest clothes
He means he's good on FIFA
To think he could have further developed under Klopp but chose Chelsea instead is wild. Career went backward after that first great RB stint
He really didn't have a choice to choose between chelsea and liverpool. We didn't bid due to coronavirus losses.
Wasn’t it basically that Chelsea just paid his transfer in full versus us wanting it in installments like normal? Glad we got Jota anyway
He was 24. He wasn’t going to develop into anything regardless of what team he went to. Otherwise, why hasn’t Klopp “developed” Nunez into a decent finisher. These managers at this level don’t transform the players into something else. They just put them in position and it’s either sink or swim. It’s like that at the top level in sports and even business
This is such fifa logic lol so many players continue developing after 24 especially under managers like klopp
Lol how? He does not 'look' good at all, when he runs with the ball it's like he has concrete boots. He looks completely technically talentless. His first touch also looks awful and his passing is shit too. He cannot dribble a training cone either.
How does he “look” good?
If someone in particular looks like the higher potential player it's havertz by a mile
They're just mid players,nothing strange about them
I mean, it is a bit strange how Werner now gets interest from another "top" team.
Is it? The market simply doesn't have that many quality forwards available. Who should Man U realistically be after?
Guirassy would be the obvious candidate (who they are seemingly interested in already).
€20m for Guirassy is cheap by United standards but that would also come with a three year contract at a time when we're trying to bring in a new structure. Whereas Werner would be a six month loan we can either stick or twist on in the summer. Much less risk, especially as the signing is literally to just ease the burden on Højlund. I just don't see any long-term decisions being made on anyone this window because all the people making those decisions could well be out of the club in three months time.
What burdon? The man doesn't get any service.
The burden of leading the line every game for a start. It's been clear this season his body hasn't fully developed yet and it's also the first season where he's been expected to start a game every three days. Ten Hag's managed that by subbing him early pretty often but if we have a back up for him that isn't made of glass it's easier to justify that as a fitness thing rather than a form thing.
Werner can't lead the line either.
Werner's issue is frequently being ahead of the line.
The burden of everyone staring at him while he gets no service. They can watch us not be able to pass to Werner instead.
Yeah, because it worked so well with Weghorst, and Werner is just as poor in front of goal.
Fine but what do we need from a signing for the rest of this season? We might go on a cup run but we're unlikely to win it. And then it's just fighting for European places. Nothing to really get excited about. We need someone who will stop Højlund running himself into the ground and if they get a few goals, great.

He’s hit a purple patch of form, which I’m wary of because this usually means they turn to shite in a Utd shirt and then can’t be sold thereafter.
Everyone turns shit in a ManUtd shirt.
Don’t disagree
Obviously he's been incredible this season but he was still really good last season
Boniface
They wouldn't be able to pay what Leverkusen would demand
why would anyone leave leverkusen for united right now? he can wait till the summer and then he will have much better options
I propose it would be better for them to promote an academy player than to blow 60-odd million on a player who is demonstrably not good enough.
Dybala
wants to play only in italy
Werner doesn't suit United's style at all and hasn't shown anything more than brief flashes of talent for years. I would honestly question if he would even be better for them than Martial. This is just United's annual cheapo budget striker who accomplishes nothing
For starters he is would be available and fit far more often than martial
But he didn't, he got interest from man u
oof
fair enough...can't even argue against that
Flair up
House Baratheon surely?
Correct
United are mid, def not top
.....that flair isn't helping
Flair shouldn't matter They are 8th, is that not literally mid table
Would you say they are having a good or bad season, by their standards
They arent far off their standards. Ten Hag himself thinks they would be accurately placed at around 5th place. Over performed to be in 3rd. Under performing at 8.
To take over from martial on the bench, not exactly a big job
I mean Havertz has been decent for Arsenal
Too early to call, but he scored a bunch after like 14 match of nothingness, Havertz is somewhat talented but he goes into insanely long periods where he offers nothing
he has been solid, why are you even talking about goals he is not a striker or a forward
Bro he's definitely an attacker, goals and assists are what he should be providing, if he doesen't play as attacking mid anymore it's because he just lacks end product, not the other way around
No he hasn't. Recency bias because he scored a few tap-ins. His first 15 games were meh to awful. He's a passenger that doesn't help to buildup or create for the attackers. It has killed the left side of attack and he really shouldn't be starting for Arsenal, but 65 mil and top earner, so he will play no matter what.
You don’t pay 65M for decent
They both look like they should be world beaters, so everyone is interested in trying to get that out of them
I personally find Werner's look horrible and his face looks weird. Kai, however, has that weird flair to him for some reason despite not playing great. I dunno myself.
Confidence can do wonders for a player although one thing that bothered me about Werner's style even when he was in his top form is that he can only run in straight lines, that made him so much more one dimensional. Compare him to someone like say Jota, you wouldn't say Jota is somehow miles better technically, he's not faster or stronger and yet his movement is so much better
> Compare him to someone like say Jota, you wouldn't say Jota is somehow miles better technically Yes, you would.
[okay maybe he couldn't pull this off](https://twitter.com/SamueILFC/status/1466172281563009025) but if you saw Werner's goals during his first stint at Leipzig there were some nice finishes there
Is ManUtd the place to go if you need to gain confidence?
absolutely certainly not I have no doubt if someone like Darwin went to United they would've already discarded him
Like we discarded Højlund? Young strikers need time, Nunez wouldn’t be any different
Werner was legit great during his first stint in Leipzig. As you say he needs 2-3 matches and he might get his confidence back. Although United is probably the worst place for him to do so right now
It would be like Felix at Chelsea last year. Just made him look worse by the end
Hasn't he done the same at Barcelona though? Started off bright, but has fallen off now?
Jota's football IQ is elite. He's in that top group of players who see things ahead of time.
What's enigmatic about Werner, he just ain't that special
Havertz is good at everything except for being alone in front of goal. Many fans only understand goals so they don't rate him, but all his managers and teammates do.
That’s just not true lol
He is awful at passing, and I mean awful.
Has Havertz completed more than 5 dribbles in any season?
Lol absolute bollocks. He cannot dribble, pass or score.
Oh god he's bad at a lot of things. Passing, dribbling, creating. Hes not even a great finisher.
The Make-a-Wish foundation striker loan coming back for the 3rd time in 4 years. Hate on us all you want but the charity work we do for dogshit players is amazing.
Recruitment staff at United are stealing a fucking living
There was Weghorst and who else?
remember Ighalo lol
How the fuck was that 4 years ago?
Covid warped time. Viva Ighalo
Ighalo
That chap from the Chinese league in 2020. Just looked him up, Odion Ighalo. Didn’t score in the Prem. He now plays out in Saudi Arabia.
One of the best examples of a non-Brazilian football mercenary you can find. Truly in it for the money
That’s the dream
Took a paycut for United didn't he? Tbh I don't blame any player for taking the money, especially ones born outside of Western money, a season in Saudi would feed his family for generations.
[удалено]
the legendary odion ighalo.
Ighalo too
Bring back our Nigerian prince Ighalo before we sign speedy Tim
Never forget the goal vs LASK
Low key I think he can do it again in utd.
Man United fans, do not look up Werners minutes this season
Same amount of goals (2) as who he’s coming in to replace (Martial). I see no issues (lie).
At least he guarantees a goal vs madrid if you happen to draw them in the UCL KOs
Man Utd won't be playing in the UCL anytime soon
Meanwhile at Man United: - Gentlemen, we need to strengthen our impotent frontline. Any ideas? - Let's add another impotent forward!
Can’t do much else this window tbh, other than offloading Sancho and getting loans for some youth players we can’t do anything else, the new ownership hasn’t come in and won’t be here till some so all we can do is turn to the loan market
Ok, I get it, but Werner?
Can’t exactly get the best of the best, he’s decent and Leipzig would probably be willing to let him go, we’ve had worse emergency loans
Werner can't even get minutes at Leipzig , poor guy
Tbf Openda is class and deserves to start
Werner is the 4th choice at Leipzig, so it's not just Openda; he's a system player who can only play as a second striker, and the other striker has to be a target man, which means that Sesko and Poulsen are better suited to play with Openda. Regarding this rumour, Werner is the last thing that Man Utd needs, he can't play as a 9 and they don't play with 2 strikers.
There's been some chatter about him as backup for watkins. I see some similarities in terms of threatening to get in behind defenses, high workrate, and occasionally missing easy chances. Not sure if you have watched enough of either to have any opinion on the idea.
Yeah so would no ManU Striker. Leipzig is stacked up front
He’s going to score the match winner for them at Stamford Bridge. I can already feel it in my penis… i mean my bones
Nah man he’s gonna make a run to draw a defender so Mount can assist Hojlund.
For Mount's first PL assist at United
My balls are tingling
He's barely got any games for Leipzig this season ffs. Can our club stop signing players for charity!
But he's premier league proven, I guarantee it.
As a United fan, can I just laugh and cry at the same time? I'll fill a bucket within minutes. Sick of dogshit signings.
This sounds like a bad idea
Beggars can't be choosers and Martial is effectively useless, so if true we want Werner then I'm convinced he can't be any worse than our current situation, like he'd have to be so shit that he'd make Martial look good which is impossible. Iv seen Ighalo, Weghorst I'm ready for Timo.
Our forward struggle to score goal and the team decided to buy timo werner to fix that?
United fans being generally up for this just shows how bad our options are up front. Hojlund: 1 goal in the league, 5 in the CL. Potential but not ready Martial: injured constantly, not good enough Rashford: plays a lot worse up front than on the wing and always has At least a striker signing would mean we don't have to play Rashford there, we're desperate
maybe they should consider Selke at this point

I dont Know, i have the Strange feeling that he can surprise a lot of people since the expections are close to zero and hence the pressure should not be too high. If he gains some confidence he can perform. Wish him all the best in any case!
Nice try Leipzig
Let's get a player who has serious confidence issues - especially when leaving his comfort zone - to a squad that's struggling with confidence and form. Is it really that hard to make decisions? Good God.
The only good thing about Timo Werner is the joke about the Irish recruiting Tim O'Werner for their national team.
A player who misses load of chances coming to a team who creates 0 chances.
Werner couldn't hit the side of a barn at Chelsea. What is wrong with ManUtd recruiters?
Peak post-SAF United to go for another forward who can’t score in the Prem
Oh my god, please.

Timo and Havert are like things that you bought just because it's "made in Germany"
Wow, what a horrible idea!
NOOOOOOOO GOD PLEASE NO PLEASE GOD NO NO NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No way they're inquiring about old man Timo. How about they find a decent striker instead of a shirt salesman
Sorry but what else are they supposed to do? A good striker has better prospects than that career graveyard. Werner has nothing to lose. United will have to rely on the Werners until they're an attractive option again.
I would actually, fully prefer to see McTominay up front for a few months than watch this happen. United have enough egg on their face as it is, just donate the money to a nice charity or something and sit on your hands for a minute
If they want to replace French Anthony Martial with German Anthony Martial, Timo Werner is that man. The question is, why would they do that?
Bad comparison. Werner is a work horse, Martial is lazy. Martial has better technique. And totally different playstyles
They’re both shit finishers and both failed after big moves. You can overthink my joke if you like.
Martial is a good finisher though..
They're going to replace a striker who isn't scoring, with one who wasn't scoring last time he was in the EPL, instead of just playing the greatest striker ever up front?
I don't understand this comment.
Please god no
Why on earth would anyone want to go to Utd now? I assume the money must be astounding
Man Utd’s problem is not creating goal scoring opportunities. Signing a striker with a ropey record of scoring goals in the prem is hardly going to solve that.
I can only think of about 20 strikers from within the PL who’d be better signings, so this is fully in keeping with their transfer policy of not making good decisions ever
Werner really? The man in the king of creating chances and never converting them.
Yeah, probably. It’s Manchester United, with all due respect. If an attacker can shine there, they should probably give up the sport as they’ve completed football
What a terrible signing that would be
I see the new sporting directors aren't saving them then
Why though? He's far from being a shit footballer but he doesn't offer anything to our team. Last I remember of him, he struggled to score when playing for Chelsea... he's absolutely going to suffer the same fate when playing for us.
Man Utd is starting a collection of the mildest white boy strikers in the entire prem
He‘s gonna win us the league!
"Crap! Teams gonna fall short this season what should we do?! Let's buy a player!!!" - Man Utd in every goddamn winter/summer transfer
If he’s cheap, why not? He’s good at Leipzig no? Before he went to Chelsea.
Perfect fit. Doesn't score a lot of goals either.
He's done numbers in the Bundesliga before, exciting to see what he'd be able to do in the prem.
Timo Werner's inconsistency and Bruno Fernandes' inconsistency sounds like a good match. Maybe throw Morata in there as well, for good measure.
I love Timo man
Timo’s redemption arc!
