Timo Werner was ‘desperate to go to Liverpool’ – so why is he going to Chelsea? | ESPN FC

Its Chelsea that needs attacking players like him..Liverpool already have too many.

Liverpool is taking the same path all big clubs take when they achieve titles which is not reinforcing the squad for the following season. Big mistake. I can almost see Liverpool struggling next season to finish on the top 4. Why Liverpool ? Why ?

Timo werner is better than salah, but not better than mane and firminho.

But i am having doubt that he may turn like morata in the PL

Late twenties gab you fat fool

Cause so reigning European and soon to be English champions arnt quite as big a club as they think they are . Blew theyre load in the last couple of seasons even though they've broke even more or less . Small club . Leicester with a history

Chelsea is like real Madrid when it comes to premier league. RM will spend big and will sack the manager if they fail in champions league. Chelsea does the same when it comes to premier league. They are not patient enough to wait for 2-3 years and see Liverpool and city competing for the title. They are going to spend big especially on young talents. I won't be surprised to see havertz, taglifico and a quality cb in Chelsea squad the next season

Old ??? They are 27 27 28

from when you offer the guy 200k a week more than Mane Firmino etc, Liverpool had no chance unless he would have done what Ox did & come for less money

Fjortoft hates the English. He's a rasist.

Chelsea haven’t signed Werner yet. The deal depends on Chelsea qualifying for the CL hence agreed only in principle

Money what else

From a Liverpool perspective does he represent good value? He would cost £15-£20m more than salah, mane and Firmino cost and would be on more wages than when all of those players signed with Salah the only one possibly on a par right now. Value for Werner is therefore slightly subjective from a Liverpool point of view

Werner won’t be an upgrade for Liverpool. We dodged a bullet there.

Werner goes missing in big games in German leage

Wasn’t Alisson all done and sorted to Chelsea?

Good for you werner, Everyone doubts you. Prove it to them, Especially liverpool fans.Although salah is trash in chelsea, but he can be not bad at all player now in liverpool.

Congrats to chelsea for having the money

This man said “would you accept that?” if Espn tells you your not getting a bonus this year,do you resign or wait until next go round? 😂😂😂😂

There was a lot of talk about him going to liverpool because there was a lot of talk about how madrid and or barcelona were going to buy their forwards, then covid happened

Simple to prove that Liverpool made a mistake.

African Cup of Nations in January?
Didn't it get moved to the end of the season..

These pundits are never fond of Chelsea F.C. just like Jose Mourinho said few years ago

Because they didn't pay the release clause...it's as simple as that.....

You hate Chelsea you die young.
If Liverpool sign him he is world class but Chelsea buy he is low class

dont let this distract you from the fact that Sadio Mane is a part time scuba DIVER

Julien flexing with the Givenchy hoodie. Swag

The most annoying thing about the “ £50 million is to much for a sub/future player “ is it’s 2020 even with everything going on on the world Liverpool will not get a player that’s good enough for them for less than 35/40 million we want a new 4th choice because origi and shaqri aren’t good enough well you’re not gonna get a better player than origi and Shaqir for less than 35/40 million

Jan A Leeds fan...top bloke...ALAW, MOT

The top left guy is a moron, none of these clubs have any idea what their financial situation will become after this, the EPL still might not end and there will be further financial impacts on top of the issues already felt. He is a good player that klopp still wants but they cannot justify spending that money in the current climate, Chelsea have money because they haven’t been able to spend and sold Hazard, why do you think barely any clubs are linked with anyone? Liverpool are run very well, this is part of that and makes perfect sense, this isn’t football manager, it’s real life.

I don’t think he would fit in the Liverpool team because of Salah. So it would technically be a waste of money for a player to sit on the bench.

He probably visited liverpool. That place is a shithole.

The mere fact that we are talking about Werner being on the bench speaks volumes about the quality Liverpool have in that front. What a difference a 30 years can make.

People forget that lfc almost went into administration before fsg came along.

Liverpool will always get the player they want, you do not have to make headlines in all papers so that we sign you, look at Salah, A. Becker, Mane, they never made headlines and where are they now????

I think people are not giving us any credit at all. It seems most people think that players only go Chelsea because of the money. That is rubbish we are one of the biggest clubs in the world, we are located in a beautiful part of London, and we have one of best old time attacking goal scoring midfielders + legend of Chelsea fc managing us. Any player coming in knows Frank Lampard and knows what great player he was, and for them to play under him is why they come. Yes Werner wanted Liverpool but Chelsea were interested in him 2 years ago, but he was not ready to leave Germany so Chelsea went for Morate instead.

Liverpool must have other targets all be it next year. I don’t think origi is the future their is still a question mark over minamino and lastly Brewster does look very good. So it they must have players in mind going forward.

Coronavirus has hit football really hard.
Expect transfer values to come right down as very few clubs with have money to buy big.
Liverpool might be losing out of £150m in the near future, the anfield road expansion has been stopped.
Liverpool aren’t buying big any time soon.
I don’t think many clubs will be buying big this summer.

The market has changed and these reporters haven’t realised it.

In klopp we trust,, 💪

A little old now... Liverpool do not have money to spend on players. Only reason why Werner was not picked up by Liverpool

ESPN: "Timo Werner was ‘desperate to go to Liverpool’ – so why is he going to Chelsea?"
Also ESPN: "So what does this mean for Christian Pulisic?"

As a Liverpool fan it’s our own fault. We take far too long over deals. We haggle to save money and we wait and wait and wait.
We scouted him for two years. We knew he extended his contract with Leipzig for that extra year and we knew what his release clause was.
If you snooze you lose. We’ve only spent 8 million in two years so for FSG to refuse to pay the release clause for a player who’s worth 80 million is incredibly stingy.
It was also very smalltime and amateur hour to sit back and allow Chelsea to steal him from under our noses, especially when he wanted to join us. Ridiculous.
It’s also disrespectful to Jurgen Klopp who wanted the player nobody could deny that.
Yes there is a pandemic but even with a 100 million plus loss in revenue, we still have more than enough to afford that release clause.
Look at the money we’ve accumulated over the past 2 seasons from success on and off the pitch, as well as money saved and players sold. Nike deal too. Stadium plans on hold also.
The pandemic hasn’t stopped Chelsea from spending. It won’t stop Man Utd from spending either and they’re head kneels in debt. It won’t stop clubs from doing business.
It’s a disgrace and i can see why a lot of our fans are annoyed. You can’t pull the wool over our eyes we are not stupid.
I get the feeling we re becoming complacent. We’ve worked so hard to get back to the top and now we have to do all that’s necessary to keep ourselves there.
It’s no good sitting on our hands while rivals get stronger and close the gap.

I don’t see how moving from RB Leipzig to Chelsea is a step further in your career.

Klopp may actually be a superior coach/manager than SAF on a technical level BUT if he wants to match or even outdo Fergie, he can’t be at a club that limit his ability to refresh his team. If Timo was his man, then GET HIM!!! Even if it meant moving one of the current front 3 - given Time’s age. Fergie was ruthless that way. I guess time will tell - there is more than 1 way to skin a cat after all

Chelsea will keep him for a couple years then he will move to a big club Liverpool football club

Liverpool don't need him, Chelsea do.

He probably not meant for liverpool, do you imagine two people in a long time relationship and of a sudden type relationship collapse...

Because he was never a red to start with

Temo warna who miss lot of easy goal scoring chance in 2018 world cup ,

Klopp avoid a bullet
