Wirtz confirmed. Official wording interesting.
"Wirtz's official squad number will be confirmed later in the summer. "
So Mac Allister is off then.
Obviously hope I'm wrong. Explains the cash.
20 Jun 2025 19:20:36
Nonsense. Mac isn’t going anywhere.
20 Jun 2025 19:21:15
?? I hope you are kidding!
Could it be something to do with a new kit deal?
20 Jun 2025 19:24:12
Or maybe another number becomes available? I also think they want to leave some juice for Adidas and the kit being announced.
20 Jun 2025 19:28:43
Wirtz plays with the number 14
Probably waiting for Chiesa to be sold.
20 Jun 2025 19:28:44
Very plausible WYred and I’m choosing to believe it!
20 Jun 2025 19:34:36
At the moment it seems too good to be true, I have a horrible feeling that Mac good leave. Ed002 said he was RM target for this year.
20 Jun 2025 19:40:19
Wirtz squad number is delayed and everyone jumps to Mac leaving. Calm down.
20 Jun 2025 19:40:28
rubbish house Madrid can't afford mac this summer window.
20 Jun 2025 19:42:40
Wirtz will wear the jersey number 26 next season.
20 Jun 2025 19:49:49
It will be to do with wirtz is an adidas player so will be waiting for the new kit,
Does anyone else think that slot is selling his new strategy to these players that it’s all being built on young skillful players playing dynamic football built around them?
20 Jun 2025 19:52:50
I’ve heard he wants to alternate between the 4 and 11 shirts so VVD and Salah must be off.
20 Jun 2025 20:01:30
Imagine thinking “yay a world class talent has arrived, better think of a way to ruin it”.
20 Jun 2025 20:07:35
Yay! Let's get negative again. That positivity feeling was really scaring me.
20 Jun 2025 20:21:51
How do you get from the new player who has signed for us about half an hour ago hasn’t got a shirt number yet to Macca is going to Real Madrid?
Welcome to the club Florian - have a long and very successful career with us!
20 Jun 2025 20:33:23
Who is going to leave as we build what could be our best ever LFC team? A decade of dominance lies ahead.
{Ed025's Note - Jones would be a good start Vango, you could sell him and use the money to buy Mars Bar mate.. :)
20 Jun 2025 20:42:49
If Liverpool says to Wirtz you can have No.10 because it'll be free soon, Wirtz doesn't sign. He is here to improve AND win trophies, he's not going to believe that vision if first thing he hears is Macca is leaving. To turn down Bayern and possibly Citeh, you will have been given a very positive idea of the way forward for the club.
20 Jun 2025 21:14:27
Which ed turned them into rubbish house instead ??.
20 Jun 2025 21:34:07
I’m with West Derby, how does anyone make a jump from Wirtz number being delayed to Mac leaving. Insane. Fantastic business anyway, one of the best and most coveted attacking players in Europe. Exciting summer ahead it seems.
20 Jun 2025 21:34:20
I couldn't see us letting another of our best players go to Madrid after seeing Trent go there, konate being circled for another free and our recent history. Im truly optimistic that we are now in a position of strength to sign the best possible targets.
20 Jun 2025 21:22:12
Never liked Mars Bars Ed25.
{Ed025's Note - i love them SG..
20 Jun 2025 21:51:38
Macallister-Wirtz Gravenberch- that is the trio to hold our midfield. Wirtz playing the more advanced role just like Szobozlai.
20 Jun 2025 21:56:29
Don’t worry 25 with Michael Edward’s we’d probably get £150 million for jones.
{Ed025's Note - that would not surprise me one bit QOSR, you do seem to get top dollar for some very average players mate..
20 Jun 2025 22:06:14
Isn’t wearing No 27 or summat.
20 Jun 2025 22:29:08
Give it a rest Ed025, Jones is a perfectly good squad player.
{Ed025's Note - its all about opinions Tom, i have given mine mate so you give me an alternative to that and tell me what he brings to the table mate, i genuinely want to know..
20 Jun 2025 22:38:03
Only on here could that conclusion be come to??Madrid won't be getting Macca he's happy here and they're far too mean to pay what we would want for him. Signings like wirtz just adds to the competition here, we could easily be going into games next year with multiple top top players on the bench.
20 Jun 2025 22:47:46
Imo Jones adds composure and ball retention to our team, great player to bring on to maintain possession.
I think he's a vital squad player personally, which is why he's played so many games for us in a period we've been challenging for trophies.
{Ed025's Note - you are entitled to your view Skezza mate, i happen to have a different one thats all..
20 Jun 2025 23:04:30
25 you are a knock off pish taker. when, or if you actually get to our level, you can have an argument. your recruitment will come from happy shopper. ours comes from prestige and pedigree.
{Ed025's Note - we have been there RD but we have fell on hard times lately thats for sure mate, but things go in cycles and our turn will surely come again and it could coincide with you having a slump like your 30 year wait for the title.....who knows, like a wise man once said "football is a funny old game"..
21 Jun 2025 01:09:31
I don't know how anyone can enjoy football while being this paranoid.
21 Jun 2025 01:29:01
My understanding is the current shirt sponsor/ provider agreement was extended due to covid so we roll-over to the new shirt sponsor/ provider (adidas? ) at an odd time. So we aren't assigning numbers yet until we have the new sponsor. Frimpong doesn't have a number assigned either. That's my understanding.
21 Jun 2025 00:53:33
I’m with you Skezza. RD you’ve taken ed025’s bait.
Never change Ed.
{Ed025's Note - never likely to FF, like most people im very opinionated and will give my verdict on players when asked, you may not like it but that doesn,t bother me really, i will throw the odd grenade in to spark debate of course but generally these are my honest views mate..
21 Jun 2025 02:33:44
@25, you’re sounding a tiny bit jealous at the moment, mate. It’s not our fault that Leverkusen want to shell out loads on Quansah or that Wirtz wanted to sign for us and stuff ?.
{Ed025's Note - of course im a bit jealous WDW...who wouldn,t be?, you are signing some great talent and my team are looking at the likes of Kyle Walker ffs, saying that not all transfers work out like they should...look at Naby, and that gives me hope mate.. :)
21 Jun 2025 02:45:50
Everton winning a trophy and Liverpool having a slump just as we look to be heading for glory would be extremely funny turn of events Ed025 but I like your positivity you have to have that!
{Ed025's Note - we all have to dream Hughesy, we will one day be a force again im sure of that mate...but im 67 now and running out of time.. :)
21 Jun 2025 09:16:05
Jones is honestly better than any player Everton have right now. He’s better than anyone you’ve had in the past five years.
{Ed025's Note - oh look..there in the sky...its a pink elephant!!, get a grip mate..
21 Jun 2025 10:18:37
Someone still hasn’t got over Curtis sticking one in the top bin in the FA Cup all those years ago when Everton lost to our kids.
We started off with a very random 2+2=5 about Macca and somehow Ed25 comes along and says ‘yeah but Jones is rubbish’. We weren’t even talking about him! lol.
{Ed025's Note - just chewing the fat Robbo, i have given you all the plaudits for winning the league and doing some great business mate...you have to give me something.. :)
21 Jun 2025 10:34:51
A pink flying elephant is more likely than Everton ordering Brasso in to polish their trophies.
In fact, didn’t Everton used to have a large, pink, overweight mammal playing up front? He was also seen at Plymouth.
{Ed025's Note - that was the Past WOW, we are talking the future now mate...and let me tell you..we are coming for you.. :)
21 Jun 2025 10:53:28
To be honest I wouldn’t mind a resurgent Everton, my Dad was a blue and I was born in Anfield and have loads of blue mates. It’d be good to beat a decent version of Everton….
…. however, replacing the 38 year old Coleman and Ashley Young with the 35 year old Walker is hardly sending the right message….
21 Jun 2025 13:00:56
Keep up the good work, Ed025.
You don't need a landing net because they leap straight into the keep net ?.
