Werner just makes so much sense to me. The drop off when Bobby isn't available is just too great and surely we can't be thinking of going in next year with Origi and Brewster as our main back ups or needing to move Mo or Mane centrally.
The fact he can also play out wide helps offer some cover too. He just seems to be too perfect a fit for us not to be interested.
Right age profile, young, hungry, great record in a top league and surely under valued based on his contract situation.
Whilst Luka Jovic is grabbing all the headlines at the moment, Werner has three very solid years production under his belt in an emerging side.
Him plus Brandt, a decent LB and a backup keeper would nicely replace and be upgrades on Sturridge/Ings/Solanke, Lallana, Moreno and Mignolet, all of whom I suspect will leave.
Conservatively I'd estimate we'd perhaps get £35m for that lot (excluding Solanke who has already gone). Plus the likes of Karius, Wilson, Camacho, Clyne, Grujic and Kent could fetch the same again meaning the net spend wouldn't be that huge given the contract situations with Werner and Brandt.
