Why are they in dollars?

Because Transfermarkt had already compiled these lists but prices were in Euro's, only my keyboard doesn't have a Euro's symbol so I used the Dollars symbol to make things easy.

I've seen this suggested and I literally cannot believe I'm saying this, but...maybe? He does the movement thing that we need in our system.

I would worry Timo is going to be Emery’s Heskey though?

Don't think so. Heskey was an automatic first choice who allowed MON to change a winning tactic and go back to his preferred, inferior tactic. Whoever Emery signs (even if it's Werner!), I'm sure he'd have an extremely detailed and coherent plan for how they'd play in our system.

True and Emery is not MON. I actually liked Timo, he’s a clever player, but the lack of finishing or goals to finishing ratio would be a worry. We do have goals throughout the team so I guess that also takes the burden away.

I could be convinced.

But adding somebody capable of scoring goals would obviousy be a benefit. Unless Heck thinks that adding too many goals, too soon would be a problem ;)

Besides, scoring goals is a false narrative.

I believe he’s currently struggling to get in the Leipzig starting XI.

And on the occasions I've seen him actually make it onto the pitch he hasn't exalooked convincing.

Risso needs to add a separate tagline at the bottom in reference to Heck “I’m not a believer mate”

Patrick Schick. Played with Diaby at Leverkusen. Can play across the front line and also drop back as a creator. Wouldn’t get in Watkins way. The sort of player i’d love us to sign.
