Werner has done OK for Spurs.On a per game basis Werner’s numbers are better.
As loan deals go it has been good for us. Solomon's injury meant he was unavailable for selection so Werner's loan suited both parties.
Until today I had thought that Werner as a squad player, for 15 million Euro, would be a good deal for Spurs. Now I'm not so sure.
Werner's confidence is too fragile. He goes past players with ease and his touch and control are quality.
He has provided assists but his finishing is poor.
If he was 22 then giving him a contract may have been viable. I suppose if Spurs were to sell Solomon in the summer, to cover the cost of Werner, it may still make sense financially but from a football point of view; Werner looks like damaged goods.
He is at best 2 to 3 mil player now.
And there is the problem. To nice and soft
Good ol' Levy

Yeah that's the only chance he's missed ....
Harry Kane misses loads of chances.
I predict that Timo will give us at least 4 G/As before the end of the season.
And will probably miss a few more chances.
This just tells you the amount of 1v1s our system creates, get a semi competent specialist out there and we would be a lot more successful when it comes to converting.
I don't mind players missing chances. Werner isn't an out and out striker so shouldn't be judged only on his finishing. What I want to see when players miss chances is them not hiding away, and them continuing to get chances for themselves. Werner in fairness generally does that. His movement is terrific. If he was also a terrific finisher he wouldn't be with us.
Yeah, that's what I took from it too.
We get our wingers into 1 v 1 positions time and time again. Werner is competent at it but imagine if we had someone better.
This rings true because he's almost always able to get past the outside to the byline.
What he does when he gets into good positions is where it can be problematic.
I always cry a bit imaging our system with the world's best 9s and one of the worlds best left wingers playing together.
If only we ever had a chance at the world's best 9...

I half-expected Red Bull to paying for a rollercoaster around the stadium as part of the deal.
