He was shit at Chelscum but he is quite fast - which Richie isn’t - so I’m happy to see how he goes under Ange

Those Chav stats aren't particularly bad...... Famous for his misses it seems.
I'm even less of a fan of this signing than I was of Richarlison. At least it's a loan
However, to add a little balance. My Chelsea supporting friend always liked him.
Said today that he works hard, Chelsea fans all loved him. Also felt if not for VAR, and missing sitters, he'd have scored closer to 40 than 20.
I look forward to all our forwards missing sitters and/or being offside all the time then.

Johnson learning how to be the player Ange needs him to be, didn’t mean Ange isn’t a student of the game.
Ange knowing how he wants to use Werner also don’t mean that will work. I’m just saying there is at least a plan to this imo. Danjuma was just bosh tactics because he was available.
But in fairness that was a pretty decent miss, it takes some skill I think to pull that off, no?
If he’d scored 40 he’d never have left.
It’s easily possible that Werner scores 10 goals by the end of the season and tbh that will do.
If he works hard and helps us press that’s a decent January loan pick up. The problem is chavski thought he was their new Hazard and Spurs fans are already starting to expect too much from him. He will miss frustrating chances here as well.
We just sold the best 9 in the world.
We're allowed to expect better than someone who failed at one of our rivals and isn't even reviving himself at his old club.
Kulu & Johnson the wide right options then Kulu first deputy for Maddison
If we are signing Werner to be his replacement sure.
I don’t think we are though and I doubt we could get that quality of striker in January anyway.
We need 6 forwards:
Son
Johnson
Richy
Kulusevski
Solomon
…
If Deki moves to 10 or we decide to move Solomon on, then we need 2 more. Is Werner one of those long term? Probably not
It's an area that needs addressing and we've acted quickly. It's a loan in an area that we're desperate for reinforcements in. It could go either way it has potential to be a great signing but people won't be surprised if it doesn't work out. If it works out we sign him cheap if not we fuck him off back to Germany. I think it's good business.
I think Werner could be a great signing, before he joined Chelsea he was awesome. By all accounts Werner was quite liked at Chelsea but didn't seem to have much luck there.
Confidence is a big thing and with Ange being able to get the most out of players this could work out quite well.
A loan with the option to buy seems like a good bit of business.

I like the signing. I know a lot will be thinking that it's a cheap option, Chelsea flop,etc. but IMO there are plenty of positives.
For one, there's minimal risk. A 6-month loan with an optional rather than mandatory buy clause puts us in control.
You'd expect him to be eager to impress, effectively playing for another Premier League contract, and Ange has always liked players with something to prove.
He'll be in early and is able to cover a few different positions, which could prove valuable given our injuries and missing players. He suits Ange's still of play pretty well I think. And Ange has seen him up close twice against Celtic in Europe.

It's a stop gap signing in a position we're light in with the potential to be made permanent if he impresses - if he doesn't then we move on to other targets in the summer when the chances of landing top quality attackers increase tenfold. People throwing shade at this deal seem to be under the impression we should be going in to the market mid-season to buy a player to irrefutably upgrade our attack when we already have our RW options and Son nailed down for the foreseeable and with Richarlson just starting to get going - basically unrealistic expectations or a lack of common sense
Will be interesting.
I’d like to see him as a 9, with Richie / Johnson either side and Kulu behind.
