afar Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 How realistic is Timo Werner ? I know they scouted the recent Europa League semi, obviously they have a player of interest somewhere. Werner from what I've seen seems to be the type of striker that would thrive in our system. He's at the right age from the owners perspective. Just think he may be well out our reach, I don't know ?

joeyt Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah he wouldn't be very realistic. He'l be starting up front for Germany in the World Cup this summer I imagine. Plus Leipzig are loaded and plenty of top teams want him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think he looks relatively slow. We also look loads better with a player running the channels rather than a target man, in my opinion. Fair play, I won't claim to know much about him other than clips on YouTube & somewhat blind trust of Rafa's interest. I just get a good feeling about him for some reason, but can see clearly why people would get the opposite inclination too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Leipzig are loaded and plenty of top teams want him I'm sure you are right, Just looked at his international record, 7 goals in 12 games or something, golden boot at the confed cup last year. Never gonna happen unfortunately. If Ashley said you have a 50 million budget before sales, I honestly wouldn't be adverse to spending the whole lot on someone like Werner who would be the ideal type of striker we need, making do with loans to cover the other gaps in our squad. it's such a huge hole for us, so many games like last night that could have swung the other way if we had a decent quality striker on board.

Away Toon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I doubt it. West Ham are currently a more ambitious club than we are and pay way higher wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm not sure i'd classify narrowly avoiding relegation, employing David Moyes and signing soon to be 37 year old Patrice Evra as ambitious I agree they pay higher wages, but the club is a mess, the Olympic stadium, the dildo brothers etc. Without Arnautovic they'd be in the bottom 3.

Stottie Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Going back to page 250, but I'd take a punt and buy Tammy Abraham, not loan him. (as one striker of course, not the only one we bet the season on) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Going back to page 250, but I'd take a punt and buy Tammy Abraham, not loan him. (as one striker of course, not the only one we bet the season on) Me too, still young enough for Rafa to coach him up of course. An unsuccessful year at Swansea will have helped his price tag a little. I would want another striker though too, a little more proven in the top flight in a major league. Selling both Mitro and Gayle to help fund both moves. Getting rid of joselu would be a bonus too but we would need a third striker if all three left.

KaKa Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 We absolutely have to go for Tammy again. I agree that we have to take advantage of the fact his spell at Swansea has maybe even decreased his value a bit, as it was more down to them being a mess. Think we could get away with a loan with an agreed deal in place at the end, and should be all over that. Rafa really went out of his way to get him, and so clearly rates him and sees him working well in his system. The kid is very talented and is a fantastic athlete. I'm sure Rafa would be the making of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I know he hasn't had much of a look in at Leicester this season but I'd be tempted to have a look at Iheanacho still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Been impressed with Ryan Fredericks at Fulham this season. Could be decent competition for Yedlin if Fulham don't go up. Free transfer too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I can't decide on him. Sometimes I think he looks great, other times he looks far too Championship. Would probably put him on about Yedlin's level really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Been impressed with Ryan Fredericks at Fulham this season. Could be decent competition for Yedlin if Fulham don't go up.

Leek Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 We should defo be looking at Bauer from Stoke. Doubt Stoke would be looking to sell and considering he moved in Jan I cant imagine him having much of a choice in what Stoke say, so would have to pay a decent fee. Feel he'd be an ideal fit for us and Rafa though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Ben Gibson worth a look if Mbemba goes? Has been excellent for Boro for three years now. Worth a punt but no doubt they’d want £20+ million for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
