Timo Werner to Spurs

They’ve signed him on a loan deal until the end of the season. Have we missed out on a potentially decent loan signing in Werner?

He was pretty poor at Chelsea and may well bomb at Spurs but at his best he’s pacey and direct and offers something slightly different to Hojlund. For a few months I wouldn’t have minded if we’d taken a chance on him. There are better players out there but few are available on a loan deal who have the potential to be as good as Werner (theoretically speaking).

Even if we were the most creative team in the PL I still think we need another striker so hopefully the bosses are looking at someone else.

When United were in for him the narrative in the media was it was a panic loan deal for United and he was a poor player. But the first heading on sky when spurs signed him and the narrative now is along the lines of it being a good deal for both sides and a no lose signing. Strange that 🤔

I thought all the media, pundits and the FA were all out to stop Spurs from bothering their darling big 5?

Going to Spurs, there is less pressure - he's going to a team that are all singing from the same hymn sheet, right behind the manager, and maybe Werner can show what he is made of. If it doesn't work out, it's been a risk worth taking for them.

Coming to Utd is different - under the microscope from day one, everyone pretty much expecting him to fail, and he would be under the same pressure as Hojlund is in terms of needing to score a lot of gaols from a limited supply. Honestly, I would pick Spurs over us in the current circumstances.

A) No, he was f-ing garbage at Chelsea.

So he had the chance to tread in the hallowed footsteps of Odion Ighalo and Wout Weghorst, and decided not to.

We don't need that kind of negativity.

If you don't aspire to be like the greats of the game, you don't belong at United.

There is no way he would have succeeded here. He couldn't do it at Chelsea and we have seen how many Ex-Chelsea players have done at United. He also hasn't been the same since Chelsea. We also don't have a good track record with our signings from the German league.

Whether he was touted to us and we rejected it (good thinking from whoever that was) or he rejected us, either way it's a good for the club. And the player.

He basically offers what Rashford offers up front.
