I am absolutely all for this signing. He's not a dick, has pace to burn and works hard. Also his days before Chelsea were thrilling, was just an awful club for him to be a part. Main concern for me are recent injuries but for the terms offered, the potential purchase price and the fact that this is a January deal this is a solid piece of business. A bit excited it may be a great piece of business
My only concern is that in a so called "Farmer's League" where Kane is already into 'triple figures', Werner has scored 2 in 8 games...
He seems like he has a good work ethic, and attitude though, which Ange clearly rates as - if not more - important than just goals alone...
Maybe he is a Richie alternative, but I wonder if we've been forced into this after Veliz's injury (and Son being away of course!)

You could say it's a.... Wern-Wern situation!
I thank you!
...goodnight Tottenham, you've been a great crowd!
I believe 6 of those appearances are as sub. Don’t know how many minutes he’s got this year.
This time but in the past he's ripped that league to shreds.
Here is the thing about Werner for me after spending too much of the day thinking about it:
Ange is a student of the game and will undoubtedly have studied Nagelsmann at RB Leipzig because they were coming with an attacking style, with an intense pressing system.
He will have a very specific idea of what he's going to ask Werner to do, whereas when he was at chavski, Lampard was probably expecting to throw him out there and for him to just be good.
This isn't Danjuma for Conte who didn't think he had the ability to play as a wide 10 in his rigid system.

He's actually at 100 goals in the Bundesfarmersliga.
All I can say is before he signed for Chelsea, I would of donated my left nut for him to sign for us. Here's to hopefully seeing him somehow flourish with us!
Also, there's no reason to compare Werner to Kane. Kane is a special type of striker that there just aren't that many of. He cannot be the baseline for who we have up front because that means that we will always be disappointed.
Youre right, I didn't add the recent time at Leipzig.
Looking forward to (not) singing "He's just a one club blunder, one club bluuuunder!!!"
WHO'S WITH ME?!.......... No one??? Seriously?!?
I'll um...see myself out......

2 goals in 200 minutes in the league, better context.
We'll see how it goes, stranger things have happened.
He’s no worse than Richarlatan.
And he’s quicker which might suit the way Ange plays. On a loan before buy, don’t see a problem with it.

I do wonder if he can play on the right. Son rich timo could be a great combo.
High reward no risk with a squad depleted in January. No brainer.
