The way international football is now, especially in UEFA, I'm inclined to say that his international record isn't that good for Germany's main CF.

 

Gnabry has 20 in 34 from the wing.

He has a golden boot from an international tournament, has found the net against France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and a host of others. Not to mention 4 Champion’s League goals with Chelsea. He’s 26 years old. There is an absolute top drawer player in there with plenty of time to shine.

If Joelinton can go from awful to good then I’m sure Werner could. Fresh start “from scratch” in a “smaller pond” and belief from his manager can make a massive difference. I’m absolutely certain he’d provide us another dimension even IF he doesnt score tons of goals. He’s a handful and his off the ball movement and pace would cause problems and give space to others. My gut feeling is that if we get him then he will be a success, I just feel it in my gut. Versatile too.

I’m not keen on Werner like, misses loads of gilt edged chances and he won’t get anywhere near the number of chances he’s had at Chelsea here.

If anyone can get the best out of Werner I would think its Howe - The way he has turned around some of the worst performers (Krafth, Big Joe) and made them work as real players gives me the belief that having a front three of ASM - Wilson - Werner until Wilson sadly gets injured would be a very strong attacking force.

He really isn't a very good footballer though. Not in the truest sense technically. His technique is subpar for a player at his level. Watch the highlights of his goals at Chelsea - they're all awkward tap ins or shots hit as hard as possible straight at the goal (some are legitimately bad goalkeeping). These are the ones where he got away with poor technique.

 

He is quick and he does work really hard - which are attributes that I respect. And he can cover wide positions too with pace and running. So I do see the logic of targeting him from tactical point of view. And I'd rather see him play than Chris Wood of course.

 

Watched 2 minutes of this video to prove you were talking rubbish. There's about every type of goal and assist imaginable in here.

 

He's quick, he's direct, he can finish, assist, press, the whole works. 

 

He's failed at Chelsea because they are looking for the difference between finishing 3rd and 1st, which means fine margins. For a top 6 aspiring club, he will smash it.

I think it's strange that his "footballing ability" or technique or whatever is being called into question. His finishing, based upon his time at Chelsea and his frequent offsides, maybe, but whenever I see him he seems to have good vision, a crisp pass and a decent touch. All characteristics of a technically sound player.

 

Throw in his engine and [I presume therefore] his ability to press from the front, I think think he'd be perfect for Howe's play style.

Christ it is exciting to imagine that kind of attacking threat in our current system.

Precisely my thoughts. You can see him linking up with Bruno, ASM and Wilson, like a dream.

Not many defences would fancy him and Maxi running at them, whilst also trying to cover Wilson and Bruno/others joining through the centre.
