not match fit is being used to say 'he needs to lose a stone of lard and up fitness levels' Would harpooning him be breach of contract? I'm not an expert on legal matters. if he was to 'accidentaly' fall in the canal then it would be classed as fishing wouldnt it,

What a colossal fuck up hes been. Hes our record signing at 18 million and cant even make the 18 players. What the hell do we with him. Same as we did with Palacios, keep paying until his contract ends and Tony Scholes reminder along the lines of ‘Note to oneself. Never buy from Daniel Levy without receipt and money back if shit clause’.

What I find staggering about Wimmer is that he’s come from what is probably the fittest group of players in the League. Where was he, trotting around the perimeter of the pitch?

I really don’t think it’s his fitness.
He’s just not a good football player.

He seems to have been well thought of at Cologne. Pretty much 3 seasons of decent displays there, and their fans rated him.
Same at Spurs really, although it was a small sample size and Pochettino obviously wasn't that impressed.
He can't be as bad as we've seen, but maybe he could be moved back to Germany with a massive loss. Not easy when he's got 4 and a half years left on £3m+-a-year though.

The warning sign for me was that he couldn't get into a crap Austrian national team. The reason clearly not good enough.Maybe a German club might offer us a lifeline at least on loan.

If you dig behind the numbers of those 15 appearances at Spurs over 2 seasons in fact several were as a sub and he played fewer than 10 hours of first team football in total for them in 2 seasons. Most of those games were against teams like us where there was in fact no defending to do. Just simply not enough game time against respectable opposition to form an opinion on him at all although bizarrely it didn't stop us rating him as an £18 million man and offering him an eye watering 5 and a half year deal On the fitness question I agree with the poster who said his main problem is that he is not very good at football. Fitness can be rectified, unfortunately being very poor at football can't. We have had another absolute nightmare here. I can't believe Mr. Coates isn't grizzling away behind the scenes about this one. in fact he must have copious quantities of steam coming out of his ears!

He could actually be quite an asset in the third tier when even the quarter decent players have flown the nest. About his level after all.

I can't believe Mr. Coates isn't grizzling away behind the scenes about this one. in fact he must have copious quantities of steam coming out of his ears! Agreed. We stumped up £18m and pay him £70k a week over a long term contract, based on just 5 first team appearances for Spurs over the 2016/7 season. Someone wants locking up for gross negligence!! Spurs make a £13+m profit on Wimmer and we just piss £18m + 5x £3.64m i.e. potentially £32.9m up the wall!! .... Ffckkin criminal!! Our experience in the transfer market must be laughable, sorry legendary in professional football circles. FFS we've been seen as clowns to the tune of over £48m when we bought Wimmer, Berahino and Imbula, all based on first class intel, obviously. We have very experienced management at all levels in the club, who have worked in football for many years! ............. Don't make us laugh Mr. Coates, it's a right ffckin horlicks! We sold the club's best player because he insisted on moving due to our lack of ambition. (The twat!) We extended the stadium while we neglected real squad development ............. in readiness for The Championship. We sold Jon, Glenn and Bardo for peanuts and kept those bloody donkeys Adam and Johnson, while inviting another error riddled plodder into midfield. £48m plus, plus, plus wages all pissed away +++ !! That's 'legendary' management!

I think it's easy to forget that we had to do without Huth for almost a season due to injury and he was slow to get back to fitness. Although Huth must be thanking Hughes every day for his Premiership winners medal, not everyone necessarily felt he'd be a loss given the way we were shaping up as a side. As much as Leicester's story is a bit of a fairytale, so is Huth's. No-one saw any of that coming...

Strange that when Huth went on to loan to Leicester in the January he never missed a game for them , sort of put's the he was not fit enough bullshit to bed.

Except Bruno Martins Indi was actually bought into replace him which obviously spoils a good yarn as does pointing out Huth has only played 95 league games in the last 5 seasons not that any of that should distract from Wimmer's apparent wankness

If it wasn't mark Hughes selling him, you'd of said he was our best defender. But because you have a secret love for sparky because of them three 9th places finishes, you think huth's time was up. Very very few on here thought Huth was finished, you have just decided that to suit your own agenda. Huth was a fantastic defender and our best defender at the time.
