Edd001 is real Madrid now in for wirtz?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate sorry, seems unlikely as there doesn't seem to be a place for him in their side.}

Edd001 medias stating alonso wants him ifhey to sell rodrigo to arsenal. I'm hoping he makes a decision very soon and he's wearing red.

{Ed001's Note - if I was Alonso I would want rid of Rodrygo and to bring in Wirtz.}

What do you think Ed about the Wirtz transfer Saga? IM not one to get excited about these things because of the times we have been led on in this past.

I can't get past him choosing Munich.

{Ed001's Note - for me the big issue is agreeing a deal with Leverkusen, rather than him choosing Munich. He was close to joining us a few years ago, but it fell through and it appears he still wants to make the move. The issue with going to Bayern, as well, is that he would ruin his rep with Leverkusen fans, who hate Bayern.}

Christ sake Ed. You're doing it again! .

I'm going to the toilet. again.

{Ed001's Note - I wouldn't get your hopes up, I love Wirtz so that is almost certain to put the mockers on it.}

I have that same feeling. (most likely because others before it looked like we were getting and then suddenly bang. gone to Chelsea. bang. gone to Madrid. )

He really would be an amazing signing. BUT I'm trying not to get too excited as it's already looking exciting and there's always someone else.

I'd be more disappointed if marubbish comes in and takes him via arsenal buying rodrigo.

You never know Ed001, I remember you wanting Alison and look what happened there. Fingers crossed ?.

Its done old fella. The club cannot announce it just yet the figure i quoted couple weeks of days ago was for two players. So two players from same team.
We know who the first player is and no prizes for guessing the second.
Cheers.

Alonso wants Wirtz! Well Xabi does have an extra circa 50 mill to spend with getting Arnold on a freebie, whereas we have circa 50 mill less.

No one knows Wirtz's capabilities better than Xabi who has had Wirtz, under his wings for two years, must be a top, top player, and Xabi also does his old club Bayer a favour by removing him from the Bundesliga, which Arne can also most readily accommodate.

One has to hope that slime ball Guardiola withdrew because he didn't want another Liverpool victory against him this season, you have to think the odds look good with Guardiola snaking back under his stone.

P. S. Two other Birds for the Season! Arteta "TIT" and Moyes a "BLUE TIT"

Akira,
Your post from a few days ago mate was 118 million.
Now you’re saying 2 player's from the same club, and we know they are.
I’m assuming Frimpong and Wirtz.
If it was 30 for Frimpong, that would leave just under 90 for Wirtz. Can’t see them selling that cheap.

Not having a pop at you Joe, but 90 million cheap, where the fuggadoodles is football going?

Was wirtz close to joining us from leverkusan or before he joined leverkusan ed1?

{Ed001's Note - I think it was after he joined Leverkusen, but I can't remember for sure. I am still not going to get my hopes up as he was all set for Bayern this summer, it seems too much to hope that it has changed so much.}

Ed I see where you're coming from and you could be right, but transfers can change very quickly, and he was only all set for Bayern because they were the only team having serious discussions until we suddenly entered the chat a week ago.

I don't think Wirtz would reject Bayern because of loyalty to Leverkusen, Trent has gone to Madrid despite being cognisant (ok maybe that's arguable) that he'd damage his relationship with Liverpool fans. Lewandowski, Gotze and Hummels also left BvB for Bayern. If he rejects Bayern I'd say its because he just likes our proposal better than theirs.

we've had serious talks with his family and Edwards has flown to Boston to get the deal package approved, so I don't reckon agreeing a deal with Leverkusen is the main obstacle, the obstacle is just beating Bayern's proposal.

Looking at some of the press in Germany, including ex Bayern player Stefan effenberg (decent player for fiorentina) piling on telling wirtz to hurry up and make up his mind to sign for Bayern, plus the press campaign Bayern have orchestrated saying he only wants Bayern etc., to the Bayern leaks saying that Liverpool are serious and might be advancing to save face in case they don't get him, it all seems really hysterical and can't be pleasant for the player and his family to deal with. It's bullying behaviour to be fair, I can understand why no club in Germany wants to be party to this sort of nonsense. They are the Madrid of Germany.

Nick, various journos have said that stories about Edwards flying to Boston are false, and that Hughes is handling all transfer affairs anyway, so if anybody was to fly it would be him (Lewis Steele then said why would Edwards even need to fly when he can just call them on the phone)

@ Akira,

Liverpool won't sign wirtz.
He didn't fly in to visit liverpool, his representatives visited mancity.
And mancity will make a offer for him.
Liverpool stand no chance at the price touted.

That was your post barely 5 days ago… can you explain the sudden change of events, which lead you to claim that the transfer is now complete….
