Timo Werner

Yes, but I was quoting goal involvements ... goals PLUS assists. Werner had great numbers for assists ! All the data is in the CHO thread if you missed it ...

Thanks I saw it now, 319.3 min per goal in that first season, I knew there was some trouble there

So this is my last Post on Timo, i feel we never played him to his strengths, because how did he score 38 goals before we signed him, don't give me that Tosh, German defenders aren't as good, yes the frenetic pace of the PL is a bit overwhelming to begin with, but he looked superb at Leipzig, Werner thrived on how you saw Haaland being played through on sunday.
Maybe just maybe Tuchel isn't as good as his win rate shows, well i aint convinced we'll see "Carlo" type football under him, cos i have watched us play dire sh*te football week in week out, or the rest of the team were Crap, just feels it won't be long before he's smashing them in again at RBL....

I mean Werner did get enough chances, but he never seemed to put them away. If your job is to score goals and you bottle the chances you get, you can't be that good. Even Morata scored 12 goals in one season for us and he was bang average. 

 
Good move for both parties. Best wishes to him at Leipzig.

Will always be a CL winner with the club 👍

 




He might not have done as much as he should have, but he kind of did trash Southampton while he was here, 4 goals vs The Saints.

 
The one against Luton shows how we should have utlisied him. Ball over the ball for him to run onto. Limited player, poor touch and needed about 10 shots to score a goal, but if we'd have some more creativity in midfield, he'd defintely have scored more.

Kezman : 105 goals in 122 league games in the Dutch league translated to 4 goals in 25 games in the PL, including a charity penalty to get him off the mark, and then his other 3 goals were against sides that were relegated ! (and he was playing in a team with a great midfield and great wingers as well). 

Werner was better than that, but the analogy, in terms of our expectation when he was signed, is a good one.

I think Werner was more akin to Fernando Torres in his actual results.  Combine the positive characteristics of the pair of them and you've got what we thought we were paying for in both cases.

Whad'ya go and do that for SF? Timo Torres! Nightmares for me tonight then.

 
The thought of Sutton in our blue makes for nightmares 1 Goal in 28 appearances, who else has ever been that sh*t, Makes Torres almost Messi-esque 🤣

 
Man Utd tried to hijack the transfer late on. Glad we didn't accept as we wouldn't want to sell them a player they want for £25-30m. Think Timo has had enough of English football anyway though.
