I’ve not seen much of wirtz infact none at all I can’t see him not going to Bayern but what’s peoples opinions of him is he worth that kinda money? (Lost my password haven’t been on in ages) hope all is well UTFR.

Hey Jay, welcome back! I've only seen highlights, but over a few years as we were linked with 2-3 years ago originally (or even longer? ) .
What is intriguing is the post further down that alleges that his clause for Germany (or even Bayern? ) is €150m but his clause for the rest of Europe is €100m
At £126m I'd be unsure of his value, not because he's not worth that, but because we have a number of players to get this window and most of the ones we get will be starters ergo expensive.
At £84m, that's a whole other ball game and would be great value and affordable with a top striker and other players too.
With apologies to Ed002, Wirtz at £84m and Isak around £120m, plus Frimpong, Kerkez and Hato for a total of £100m, with our sales raising around £200m+ would mean a net investment of £100m for 4 quality first 11 players. If we could gel quickly, it'd be an AMAZING window!

He looks a very good player. but we need a disciplined midfielder fist and foremost before looking at ACMs. Gravenberch once again ghosted through out yesterday. couldn't win one second ball all night. I am told he is the second coming of Makelele by MKS and others. Anyways, He needs rest and competition. The way Baleba ran through our entire midfield unchallanged was embarassing.
if you give me an option to choose from Kante and Maradona, I would chose Kante because he is what we need atm.

He’s the best and getting better. He elevates the whole club. Will be a superstar would generate massive income for the club and ensure we continue to compete for the major trophies. A level about Bellingham.

Gravenberch's role in our team isn't anything like makalele. Maybe it would help if you figured out what he does.

Hes a top, top player. A difference maker with magic feet. A really exciting player to watch. Potential to be one of the best players in the world for me. I'd rather him than isak even though we need a striker more which is probably stupid of me but he's just so good to watch. Just turned 22 and looks both footed. If i had to describe him to someone who has only watched the premier league I would say he has similar dribbling levels to hazard but more rangey with the quick stop to start of someone like palmer and the balance of a foden.
20 May 2025 14:13:44
He is on the cusp of being one of the very best players in the world if he isn't already, and he is young enough to get even better. All this plus his work rate is very high and he is comparatively combative for somebody playing his position.

Incredible player, great at pressing, creative, good dribbler, great striker of the ball and impeccable vision.
Would be a huge improvement in what we currently have and if the opportunity arises, somebody you don’t pass up on.
Honestly we don’t need a world class striker, at the moment it isn’t hard to improve on what we already have, thisg guy can score and see passes others don’t. I’d be happy to spend the money on wirtz and throw a couple of quid at delap, with salah and wirtz delap wouldn’t have to be great to get goals.

But does he cause Chaos?
20 May 2025 15:15:01
What a window that would be Zed!

Anyone who would chose Kante over Maradona in any circumstances is anti football and shouldn't be taken seriously.

"if you give me an option to choose from Kante and Maradona, I would chose Kante because he is what we need atm. "
Yep. This is one for the ages, @Red-Will-is-1.

The parade will be enough to convince anyone to come and sign us.
20 May 2025 20:32:16
@Scouse, maybe we should havve invited Wirtz and his reps. to witness the parade rather than meeting with them, don't you think?
