That was already said in June.. not exactly newsworthy.

Maybe Chelsea paid more to have him effectively end the season and get this, Leipzig agreed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if its not newsworthy enough for you but one things for sure its a disgrace, imagine helping your team get to that point in the competition and then walking away.

It doesn't say much for his character as its a shocking way to treat Leipzig fans and his former team mates.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Players move clubs inbetween competitions all the time.

Even spurs sign players in the January window.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The point is they are in the last 8.

In January the competition won't have progressed that far.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take for example the last trophy spurs won, the league cup.

Final is in February. about two games from the final is the January window.

Do you think the January window should be scrapped or that players shouldn’t move if they are still involved in the league cup?
Or is it to you a nothing trophy not worthy of consideration in the same way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its not worthy.

Very few Prem teams take it seriously until the later stages unlike the cl.

It is okay for a player to play 6 games then move, but another 2 and it destroys the competitions integrity?
Doesn't really add up tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs got knocked out by Leipzig.

It’s probably because he’s joining Chelsea with experience of beating Spurs recently already as to why PaulBawron is getting steamed up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs were toothless against Leipzig and well beaten.

Werner was available against us and should be for their next opponents.

Why? Leipzig chose to sell him. They could have waited until 5th october if they were as bothered about this as you are.

Had it not been for the virus break he would of seen out Leipzigs cl involvement to the end.

So if the competition is to restart that should still apply, otherwise its not true to the 19/20 tournament and therefore pointless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are times where it is impossible to continue with the norm and so we have to accept imperfect solutions.

I think the majority are okay with that and I very much doubt there’ll be much memory of tournament wins being tainted this season, as the years go on.

Fa cup winner > 6th

League cup winner > 6th
----------------------------------------------------------------------

FA Cup winners better than 3rd.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah would probably rather win a trophy. Still I’ll take champions league
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FA Cup is mick like the league cup now...nice trinket but otherwise - meh

Not saying i wouldn't have liked it yesterday...but it wasn't our day, & no biggie...unlike 4th place
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Silverware is silverware at the end of the day. 2nd in the league is the first loser. Don’t get me wrong I wanted to finish in the top 4 100%. But it isn’t something to celebrate. Winning a trophy is.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leipzig have every right to sell Werner but not until the 19/20 cl finishes, he was available against their opponents up until the quarter final and that should continue.

As I've already stated if the 19/20 cl is to be played out then it should be under the orignal circumstances otherwise its not the same tournament so theres no point.

UEEA should enforce this.

I think games should only be played when everyone in the entire squad is fit and available plus all the weather conditions are exactly the same otherwise where's the integrity?

Ah the old I'll try to discredit you with sarcasm rather than admit you're right tactic.

Good work.

I can admit I'm right too tbf.

You're chatting balls bud. Sorry. What you're suggesting is complete parity but then not extending it to complete parity but rather some ideals that you've simply made up.

Is it fair that some teams get to play City in January when there is a huge fuxture pile up rather than August when everyone is fit and ready? Is it fair that some have to deal with Burnley in the rain and some don't?

Leipzig don't have a player available. And what?

If he was injured I would agree but he isn't.

I have no problem with him playing for Chelsea next season but he should complete this season with Leipzig first.

I'm surprised he didn't insist on it as part of the transfer deal. Cl quarter finals don't come around for the likes of Leipzig that often.

so what about the teams that run their league season on a different schedule to the majority of the other leagues? are you saying they arent allowed to make transfers between league seasons because it would change their squads for european competition?

posted on 2/8/20

I think if teams were adding players to the squad there might be a debate, but a team selling one of their players - not having it.

posted on 2/8/20

In Spain you can sign emergency players from teams in your league outside of the window. Not one word about integrity.

Unless someone is suggesting all parameters are exactly the same for everyone, which is impossible really, then thus is all a bit of a nonsense.

I think that shovel is glued to Bawrons hands.

Hopefully he digs through to an acetone factory in Adelaide ..

Reaching a final, only to lose is, in fairness, the ultimate in getting knocked out when it matters.

I don’t know why people get so hung up on the integrity of the competition. It’s not actually that important.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One mans meat is another mans poison.

It doesn't matter to you but it does to others.

If you are at a club on Feb 1st then you should not leave until their season is done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if you’d be saying all this if Werner had signed for Spurs

I would be very happy if he had signed for Spurs and would welcome him with open arms once he had completed his season with Leipzig.

I don't think what I'm saying is unreasonable and most folk I've discussed it with agree that if he wouldn't be able to leave at this stage of the tournament under normal circumstances then that should remain the case.

As I've said earlier theres little point in completing the cl if its not done as properly as possible.

We've won 2. UEFA cup in 1970 and UEFA cup winners cup in 1994.

Perhaps try to build this comment to a point where it becomes relevant to the subject at hand, and I’ll be able to post a reply for you.
