Hamann: Werner would not fit in the Liverpool system

Dietmar Hamann has significant doubt whether Timo Werner would be a good fit for Liverpool.

The RB Leipzig striker is on the top of the transfer Wishlist of many clubs after producing an outstanding body of work over the last couple of years at RB Leipzig.

This season the 24 year-old has scored 27 goals in 36 appearances across all competitions for his club.

 

Liverpool have been constantly been linked, and there appears to be mutual respect and interest between both parties.

However the former Liverpool midfielder and German international feels that Werner would not fit into the Reds system  at this moment of time and perhaps he was too keen in signalling his interest.

Football 365 via The Athletic reported Hamann as saying:

“I don’t think he’s a player for [Bayern] Munich or Liverpool [with] the way they play at the moment. 

“I read quotes from journalists or people close to the club in Liverpool when he always said Liverpool is a great club [and that] Klopp is the greatest trainer, that he was a bit too forward in showing interest in going to Liverpool.

"Where’s he going to play?

 

"Even if Mane or Salah go, [then] out wide is not his position and the centre-forward position, the way they do play, is probably the most crucial one.

Hamann feels that the work of Roberto Firmino is greatly underrated and needs to come into the equation in regards to if any deal for Werner is viable. 

“Firmino is probably a bit underrated in some people’s eyes.

 

"He’s a ball-playing centre-forward, he probably doesn’t get the goals that other players get.

“But he brings other players into position and that’s certainly not Werner’s game, so [it’s] a no from me.”

Good player for us but has always spoke shite. 

This. Seems to not like Klopp too. Strange fella is Hamann,but its easy to see why he gets media jobs and not many coaching jobs.

We need better than Werner to improve this team. 

It's about improving the squad though.  We'd need to spend way over £100m for a player who's ready and good enough to improve our front line.

Yep. That’s what we should do.

But, deep down, you know we won't.  So £50m or whatever for someone at a higher level than Origi who won't be first choice but is good enough to play regularly without lowering our standard too much is probably as good as it gets.  

 

It's next to impossible to improve the best team in the world without bottomless pockets. But if anyone can do it, Jurgen can and, if he wants Werner, I'm all in.

i think dropping Bobby back into a more attacking midfield role infront of  the likes of Hendo and Gini would suit him better he tracks back wins the ball while having the freedom to go forward and play between the lines,he can take people on and has a great pass and we have all seen the cute little flicks that can open open a defence.With a more natural striker in the front 3 like Werner might pay off abit better and may unlock those frustrating games where teams park the bus.

Like who?

 

There are at most 10 better forwards than Werner in Europe right now. I would argue significantly fewer. And all of them would cost way more and/or are completely unavailable. Werner just turned 24, ready to come into his peak and has exploded this season for 27 goals.

 

I mean, unless you think we're getting Mbappe or something ridiculous like that, who on earth could we get that would be better?
