He had that status in Jan thanks to a combo of ability & us having no other left footed CBs. Now we have Burn we don't have to focus quite so specifically on left sided centre backs.

Away Toon Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Werner is a player that makes lots of goal scoring opportunities with his pace but is a very poor finisher. There was an article in the press either just before he signed for Chelsea or just after explaining why, something to do with his technique I remember. Since he signed for Chelsea he's gone backwards. At the moment we are not a team that has many chances and watching him miss the few we do have would not make for pleasant watching.

Yorkie Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thought Isak was supposed to be absolutely class but just checked and he's scored only four league goals this season. Schick and Nunez's stats are both excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fits our profile entirely and there is a strong possibility that he wants to be closer to home. I don't normally believe that Romano bloke but this is one to watch IMO. There's going to be times when we sign young talented players, even when the position they play in no longer seems like a priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Targett, Trippier, Hickey and Manquillo Would be a very good set of fullbacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember putting him in my World Cup fantasy team based purely on his stats running up to it and he was dreadful. Since then I haven't seen anything better from him, only missing sitters and being perpetually offside. I have no doubt Eddie will call you in June to discuss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak is a talent for sure but we need a top goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Could probably still get Targett as well tbh. Hickey can play LB, RB, and on the wing so would still get plenty of opportunities without having too much pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's billed as a 'forward' suggesting he can play across the front line, but in reality he doesn't have the technical skill to play wide or the presence to play as a lone striker. His whole success in Germany was built around playing in a front two and even then he'd whiff some good chances. He also wasn't the most confident young man so putting him at a disposable club like Chelsea was a recipe for disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Why should we be the ones to try and find out if Werner can figure things out after he leaves Chelsea? No thanks. He's no doubt on a sizeable wage, and he'd no doubt still cost a fair whack. I'd much rather see us go for the likes we were linked with in January, so one of Jonatahan David, Nunez, Schick, Beto, Dembele, Simeone etc. Werner coming here and continuing to struggle would be a disaster not worth risking.

This is where I’m at too. He’s on £250k at Chelsea, so won’t be leaving for much less than that, IF he does go. I’d rather we put those wages towards any of those players you’ve mentioned, or even two of them- Bruno is allegedly on £120k for comparison, so whatever we could pay the likes of Jonathan David would be a sizeable improvement and incentive compared to what he’s currently earning.

Yes, exactly. I think some people are just more comfortable with known names, and just have no faith in bringing in an emerging player instead that they don't know much about yet. It's not the way we should be going though, there's some terrific younger talent out there we should be prioritizing that we can get for better prices and wages and who have the potential to reach the top and are still driven to do so. Like you, I'm also a big fan of Jonathan David and think that would be such a great signing for us this summer. Very versatile forward that can also play on either wing and behind another front man as well. Has now lit up both the Belgian league and French league in quick succession and is rising very fast. Whoever snaps him up this summer will be very happy. And in another few years I think he'll be right up there as one of the higher valued forwards in the game that will be too expensive for most.

He may get that but if Chelsea want rid then the buying club won't be paying 250kpw. Chelsea will have to pay a fair chunk of it or he takes a cut.

It’s nothing to do with Chelsea ‘wanting rid’- as with every player, it’s down to the individual under contract and whether they want to leave, not the club.

Like I said "if" they want rid, the player may well be happy to leave but not take the pay cut. If Chelsea want a space that isn't costing 250kpw then they'll have to compromise.
