Wirtz transfer window ever.
Trump on a trampoline. This is on.
That is the reality ... I mean, he's a great looking player, and I think he would improve us etc ... but signing for us?
With @dmishra 's glowing approval of the player, the chances are basically at 0.0% as Liverpool oppose his talent analysis for some reason when selecting players.
It's not quite that straightforward, I don't think. Bayern thought they had a free run and could lowball Leverkusen as a result. They could have wrapped this up some time ago really. The expectation from us and City was that he would be going there, and obviously that not happening has opened a window. City have, I think, been caught napping. It's still likeliest he'll go to Bayern but they can't pay the fee Leverkusen want, and Leverkusen want him to go this summer or to sign a new deal. Dunno. I think we have a chance.
Maybe...just maybe if Klopp was around
Last November, Alonso brought his team here, trained at the AXA, lost 4-0, and the Anfield roar was so fucking loud that some Leverkusen fans went back home and accused us of having gigantic speakers blasting fan noise.
I don't actually think he'll sign for us but every now and then I wonder what Florian thought about that day at Anfield.
Well what's the wirtz that could happen? At most he'll go to City and break my heart.

Maybe he signs for City as part of his revenge arc.
Dunno if it's already been posted but they trained at the Axa the next day before flying home.

This will end in tears. Our tears.
I read elsewhere that City have turned their attention to Dani Olmo instead.
Some of you downbeat lot are like those who didn’t think we were winning the league until the 92nd minute of the spurs game.
Apparently they have, Flick has underused Olmo significantly and they may be looking to cash in
Not that I even have 1% faith in that cunt's ability to get this one over the line, but I wouldn't want us going down the path of spending 100m on players anyway.......I mean what next? 8 year contracts? Might aswell change our kit to blue and rename ourselves bottlejob FC.
Go get value for money signings......Mac, Diaz, Ibou.
Stiller....Collins....Cherki....David
Its still at 4%
He's German and most Germans seem to wank over Bayern similar to how Spanish speaking players view Madrid and Barcelona.
Bayern have pretty much said they won't go over €100m for him.
Gonna be some greasy palms, but they'll get it done by hook or by crook.
Alisson and Virgil were world record signings in their position.
Do you thing they were value for money and do you think they added more or less to our success than players who cost less?
Not at the time but there's a difference between paying 70-75m and breaking the 100m barrier, and don't give me that "record signing in their position" bullshit either, 5 minutes later Utd were paying 80m for Maguire and Chelsea 70 for Kepa....the amount you pay doesn't dictate the level of quality that player is or could end up being.
I'd say they added equal success to our front 3 (100m combined), they were the last pieces of the jigsaw and you have to take into the account the pieces of trash they were replacing.
It’s just a number - what’s the issue?
I agree with you entirely on your point about the amount you pay doesn’t dictate the quality of the player - you only have to look at Nunez for that.
What it also means is sometimes quality does cost and you have to pay top dollar.
£150m for Wirtz - what if he’s the difference in winning the next 4 league titles and a few Champions leagues.
What if he does it at City or Bayern and we make do with some smart, cheaper signings that keep us in the CL and help win a couple of League Cups instead.
I’m all for signing the absolute best and highest quality players we can - tge cost is just a number and it’s not my money.
The question for me is more - is Wirtz good enough that we could be looking at a generational talent, a Balon d’or winner, someone who can be talked about, if not like Messi or Ronaldo, certainly like a Gerrard, Zidane, Figo, Del Perro, Henry, Hazard, etc.
Why wouldn’t we, if the number crunchers can make it work.
Quality over quantity every day of the week for me.
FFS man wise up.
Nah, there's enough people from our side to indicate we are interested if he expresses any interest in coming to England.
Leverkusen would probably sacrifice a few million if it meant him not joining Bayern, TBH. Losing your best player to the main rival is the worst of both worlds.
