The way Howard talked about it does make you wonder. First off, it was clear that both Ahsan and Howard had heard of the rumours, secondly neither of the two were willing to talk about it and thirdly, the words themselves - "but the name's so ridiculous that I couldn't name it anyway...".

Ridiculous? Hmm... So it's either Neymar or Peter Crouch.The way Howard talked about it does make you wonder.

They were linked with him when he left Stuttgart and Heynckes has been very complimentary recently and said it was a mistake not signing him then, presumably they're already negotiating a big signing on fee at the end of his Leipzig contract.@Andrew__K you watch a bit of German football iirc , is Werner being linked with Bayern at present ?
Jokes aside, it has to be a big name signing, someone that people would think is unsellable. Like if we were targeting someone like Jesus, it would make complete sense and there's nothing ridiculous about it - incredible talent, cheap, ready to learn, what's not to like? But an established player who would cost a fuck ton and is considered unsellable would definitely generate a reaction like "surely you're not serious, that's just ridiculous". In the positive sense obviously.Ridiculous? Hmm... So it's either Neymar or Peter Crouch.

Haven't read anything about it, but it's kinda self-evident that they'll try to get Werner at some stage. Heynckes said in November that Bayern 'should have signed TW'. His contract expires in 2020.@Andrew__K you watch a bit of German football iirc , is Werner being linked with Bayern at present ?

Would we really want a player that is subbed off in the 32nd minute due to crowd noise???
I know he’s only 21 and their fans are passionate but this is ridiculous. Not like he’s 18 and it’s his debut.
Not for us.

It's a medical condition mate, TW has health issues (probably something with his inner ear).https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/sep/27/rb-leipzig-timo-werner-besiktas-crowd-noise

So he'd never be able to play at Anfield under the lights then?
