To be fair, I think Piguain must have ate his way around London given how he waddled round the pitch. Oh yeah, I forget about how unfit he was during the time. But yeah, the list is extensive over players they could not make work. Still absurd to think that they could not make Crespo play well.

Rafalove Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Not going to pretend I’ve seen a lot from him because I haven’t but when I have seen him I thought he was poor. It’s a good point that strikers generally do tend to flop at Chelsea, but is it not just as likely that Werner’s can’t replicate what he did in Bundesliga in the premier league?

TRon Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I do feel disappointed that Paqueta is probably going to another club tbh, if we really wanted an AM, he woud have been my first choice. Looks like he's probably heading somewhere else. But Maddison will do me no problem. Get him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won’t be able to do madlad seasons like he did in Bundesliga due to better defenders, but he still has attributes that work well, especially if he gets played from the right to cut in or left. Every time he did so for Chelsea he was a threat. So the question then becomes, can Howe make his pace and passing a huge threat? I think so at least. Just seems like same problem that manu has had where the manager hasn’t utilized the player and assets correctly, especially now with Sancho until Ten Hag came. I don’t think he will be able to score as much as the crazy seasons in Germany but he definitely has the ability’s to become a huge threat, especially for us.

St1pe Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Weird how none of these twitter accounts and journalists didn’t have a clue about the Maddison bid and now seemingly everyone knows something about how much we’re prepared to go and if Leicester will sell.

gdm Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Reckon we’ll make a break thru in the coming week. Don’t think there’ll be a signing before forest but the wheels will be moving on a deal. i long for a tweet announcing an accepted by which Is quickly followed up by more reports Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Werner can’t play up top on his own, can he? Seems like a bit of a pointless signing if we are going to continue with the 4-3-3. Rather we went after a lesser known and lower profile player. If they could play as a lone front man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I'm fairly certain he played up front on his own all his career until Chelsea moved him out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played up front on his own for Chelsea when I’ve seen him a few times. Always looked terrible. Read a piece about how he massively outperformed his xG for a season or two and went through how he is often a bad finisher. He’d be another body and a better option than Wood. But don’t think he is the type of striker we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Could play wide, I suppose. Just thought he’s looked dreadful whenever I have seen him for Chelsea. Some awful misses and his touch is often horrendous. If Howe wants him and has a plan for him. Then that’s fine by me. Even though I don’t rate him.

There's no doubt he was out of form and low in confidence mind. He offers alot without the goals. Stretches teams, runs the channels, quick on the counter and has energy to press.

Been a flop at Chelsea but sometimes that happens. Would be an exciting transfer to see if he could recapture his Leipzig form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Aye. If we are generally interested. Then maybe a change in scenery and being more like the main man again would help him. Does look like a rabbit in the headlights playing for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
