Timo Werner

1st loan was worth a go, a 2nd season on that wage was just stupid.

Exactly this. The first loan was low risk. The second one, well… we knew what we were getting so we can hardly complain. Looking back at the comments earlier in the thread that when we loaned him in again, I’m baffled that so many were pleased and/or sanctioned the signing. I wish more posters would not blindly defend the club at all costs. If we’ve got a signing wrong then just say it.

Hopium is a fan's biggest kryptonite.
 
I do not believe in assists as a stat that directly correlates to creativity, I only mentioned the assists because I knew otherwise Bedford would mention them or someone else would.

Likewise I judge creativity with my eyes and obviously we will disagree because I do not believe that just throwing crosses into the box is creativity. Creativity is guile and vision, again we'll disagree but I do not believe Werner provides that. He's a direct threat in the sense that he has pace, but his passing is ok, his crossing is ok. Neither are particularly incisive. I know you think i'm talking nonsense but I think you'll be surprised when a fox in the box doesn't scored 30 goals a season from crosses with Werner being directly responsible for 15 of them. I'm just saying it now, in a year's time you'll see what I see now. He's not of the required standard.
 
I may be labelled a drama queen for this.
But we can/will only afford a "few" very high earners each season.

That someone thought Werner was worth one of those "very high earner slots" is incredible to me. That person should be removed from future transfer discussions, as it is VERY clear that Werner is not HIM.
