6 appearances 1 goal and I’m sure a couple of assists?
Think he’s been ok.
7/10.
To have designs on consistently challenging the top 4 and higher we need not only better than Werner but also Richarlison and Bj. Harsh but true.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The article I posted in the op basically says that.
Would need an upgrade on Werner
He’s a good player but for all our data driven transfer policy I’m not sure he’s right for this system. One thing Ange relies on is all forwards scoring goals. He doesn’t do that. I hope he improves in this department but when we are completely unable to keep a clean sheet, we have to have goal scorers up front. Werner isn’t that.
My fear is we sign him because he is cheap, not because he is right.
You would like to think he will get better from now on after scoring his first goal, it will give him confidence.
Also, I don’t think the guy has played that much this season for his previous club so getting match fitness/sharpness is key.
Maddison and Bentacur I think are also going through the same but hopefully we start to see a better team the more games we play.
We do need a bigger squad. Solomon is out, so Werner is a good addition to have. And one advantage is that Son then plays in the middle, where he belongs!

Ange is a revolutionary. A maverick some might say.

This...
He's standard 7/10 spurs player whilst expecting to go on to bigger and better things.
Well we ARE challenging for the Top 4?
Don't understand why he gets stick. He's been decent. We've got to stop looking at him as a striker that doesn't score many, and start looking at him as a winger that breaks lines, pulls players out of position, stretches defences, assists goals and occasionally scores goals. At 17m he's an absolute steal. We should be biting their hands off. Whether he's a starter every week is another thing but he's contributing just as much if not more than Johnson at a fraction of the cost. It's mad he's getting shiiiit.

This is why.....
We can't keep settling......imo.
Now he has that first goal he will be buzzing to go again i expect a few more goals from him this lesson , if he gets back to what we know he is capable of we would have secured a great bargain .
Don’t care if he a steal or not. Want him to deliver week in week out. Will he get into rival top teams and I include Villa in that. It’s debatable if he will even make some of their benches.
He is not at Chelsea or Leipzig for a reason but fans are happy to accommodate him cause he is cheap

He’s only played 6 games!
I don't dislike Werner, but quite a few times since he has signed I have heard people say it's a 'risk-free' signing.
Well, no, it isn't. The risk that I can definitely see happening is that he's just 'ok', not quite bad enough for the whole fanbase to want him replaced but also never getting anywhere near the sorts of numbers of a Son or Kane. And because he's 'not bad', him being there may prevent us from going for a real potential game changer in his position - a Nico Williams, Anthony Gordon, Martinelli, Luis Diaz type of player which we really need to kick on.
He's a bit like Richarlison in that sense - a run of form has got some believing he is good enough, when deep down we all know he isn't. I'd almost rather him be awful than just 'OK'!

But played many for Chelsea and Leipzig and already seen enough to believe he is just not good enough. Yeah no doubt he will score and assist and so will the likes of BJ but it’s that efficiency and consistency required at the top level and also doing it against the big teams.
Am really hoping he proves me wrong but nothing I have seen so far indicates he will.

Ok.
He's not a natural goal scorer, never going to get big numbers, a bench warmer at best, I'm sure Ange will be looking for bigger numbers than he can supply
I think his hold up play and work rate is not bad but he does lack end product. Whether that can improve or not I don't know. I somehow doubt he's ever going to be good enough to be first team quality for a club that wants to compete for the big prizes. At the current rate I think we can look to replace.
he's been very good, a goal and 2 assists in 5 starts. would happily take him as a squad player.

Son getting on in years and is not an out and out goal scorer anyway. Neither is Richy. We don't know if his spell of good form can be maintained yet. I'd like to give Veliz a chance but he's very young and unknown at the moment.
