Werner to Chelsea- I’m a chelsea fan and prior to the links to signing him I’d never seen him play. So as most fans do I went to YouTube and Twitter to see his compilations. And after 3 videos I’d never ever seen a compilation video that was so one dimensional. 95% of the highlights was him exploiting space that simply doesn’t exist in the PL. And the other 5% didn’t move me at all. Even in his best moments his touch was sloppy, and there was 0 variation in what he could effectively do. And lo and behold all of that came to fruition at Chelsea. I’ll never get what the club had in mind when buying him.
Havertz to Arsenal - this time as a Chelsea fan I’d seen almost of his minutes in England, and he’s basically the opposite of Werner but somehow still in a bad way. Werner does a couple of very specific things really well and everything else way below average, whereas Havertz is Mr Average across the board. The club was pretty unstable throughout his whole tenure here, but even with that in mind he got every chance under the sun to succeed and he couldn’t. So in the summer just gone where it’s known that we need to get rid of players within a week for FFP reasons, I couldn’t fathom that one of our close rivals offered to take him for pretty much the price we bought him for. I’m grateful for it but still can’t understand why Arsenal bailed us out like that.
