Administrator Stan Posted June 4, 2020 Administrator Posted June 4, 2020 Quality signing for Chelsea. Can see him bagging shit loads for them.
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted June 4, 2020 Subscriber Posted June 4, 2020 Thats a good pickup for Chelsea. He had something in his new contract around a €50m release clause if I remember right.

Bluewolf Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Heavily linked with Liverpool prior to this and now a bit of a U turn Was reading that one of the reasons was that Liverpool didn't feel they could sanction the cost due to Covid taking it's toll on their finances and he had already stated that he would be just as happy playing for us as he would Liverpool only he was a big fan of Klopp so it would have been his preferred destination if possible... Given our recent lack of transfer activity it seems getting a few quality players on board is not going to be an issue for us financially....
Administrator Stan Posted June 4, 2020 Administrator Posted June 4, 2020 Ziyech as well heading to Chelsea in the summer and Chelsea's squad has already vastly improved.
Spike Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Seriously though, Liverpool shouldn’t spend on attacking players right now. If they did, it should be on a player that can left, right, and centre for coverage, not a centre forward that should be a starter but regardless they are stacked. Maybe a new CB? Shoukd have grabbed de Vrij when he left Lazio. Imagine de Vrij and can Dijk, eeesh

LFCMadLad Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Good signing for Chelsea, they are essembling a really good young side. I would have liked Werner from a fantasy football point of view but the reality is.. we were never going to pay the transfer fee plus £180k a week wages Chelsea are paying for a rotation option, however much he wanted to sign for us. We just couldn't offer him the game time that Chelsea can. Still, disappointed that Chelsea get a player that I predict will come in the top 5 highest goalscorers next season. Well done Chelsea.
Rick Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Werner shouldn’t be looked at as a rotation option. He has scored 20+ goals in the league the last 2/3 seasons. Him up front with bobby just behind linking the midfield and attack. Shame it won’t happen. He will score a load of goals for Chelsea.

My take is that Klopp and Edwards sat down and weighed up the pros and cons of signing a player that would a) cost alot b) want to become one of our highest earners and c) would cause a change in formation to fit him in... and come to the conclusion that it just wasn't worth it. Everyone knows that if we really wanted Werner he would be signed and sealed by now.
LFCMadLad Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 19 minutes ago, Spike said: 'we didn't want him anyway' like clockwork, every time No doubt Klopp wanted him, discussions had taken place between him and Werner. Facts are though that it was just too expensive a deal to complete for a player that wasn't really needed (needed as in he would'nt solve a gaping weakness in the first team). Great signing for Chelsea though who needed him more than we did. Here is a good take on it. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/timo-werner-truth-not-hide-18366478 It also doesn't help with how things are currently considering we are in the middle of merging our training facilities at Kirkby and expanding the stadium. Maybe we just couldn't afford that kind of layout on a transfer until things become clearer?
DNA Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Leipzig's formation and style seems to suit him, with Werner not quite being a central number 9 type it would seem he would maybe get in the way when he drifts wide at Chelsea with their setup?

He’d be a wide left striker. Similar at Leipzig.

True Blue Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 There was no secret Liverpool was the destination of his choosing, however with Liverpool obviously not being interested to pay 60 mill euros for a back for Firmino. If this does happen i will be pleased, we will have so much options and depth with Ziyech who is also a brand new signing. With the return of Pulisic and Ruben i will cream my pants. Lampard will have a huge task on his hands to fill in the attacking midfield and striker positions and keep everyone happy. Still it is an excellent problem to have.
