I know many that watched him in the PL are down on Timo Warner and have written him off but I think he could score a ton of goals in MLS. He had some fantastic seasons in Germany before going to Chelsea. If dropping down a bit in the level of defenders he has to go up against by moving to MLS helps him find his form, look out.

He was positively electric in the Bundesliga right after leaving us for Leipzig. And he's still just 29, so he's not worn out. Just needs to find his game again. But if he does, look out indeed.
