Florian Wirtz

His club keep leaking already known City interest, sadly they don't have a say in where he goes.

Just trying to ramp the price up on others.

Leverkusen would drive him here themselves if it were that simple.

So you think we’re unlikely to get him just giving Leverkusen the chance to fleece Bayern for every penny they can?

Beyond our control what Leverkusen brief. City aren't going to discount ourselves while he remains on the market.

Leverkusen, however, are acutely aware Wirtz favours a move to Bayern next year, hence the renewal and release offer.
 
Him and Cherki for the combined Wirtz price would be excellent business.

Make no mistake, we need two creative midfielders.

Foden is not that player.

Foden, on form, gets goals but hasn’t really shown any real creativity, he’s more likely to cut in and make something from nothing for himself. So we definitely need some more craft.

Don’t think I’ve seen anything to suggest we’re interested in Cherki, popular as he is in the transfer forum.

Leipzig are touch and go on qualification for the Champions League so Simons may be available. Haven’t been impressed with him whenever I’ve seen him though.

I suspect Cherki is flawed in some way. He isn’t really being connected to any major club. He is being connected to United a little bit and of course they aren’t a major club.

My problem with Cherki is that he doesn't really strike me as different from Foden, or Grealish, or Bernardo when he was the same age. Small, technical, not that fast #10 who plays on the wing and cuts inside.

It just doesn't strike me as something we're missing in the squad.

Wirtz is more like KDB, he can play with those players, but he's got physicality they don't and is a viable target in the box and will try to get on the end of a pass as well as play them.

I've not really watched him but isn't he way more creative than any of those guys you mention? And creativity is probably the area we are lacking more than any other with KDB on the way out.

He's not more creative that Grealish at Villa or Bernardo at Monaco IMO, so I don't see why he'd be more creative than them at City.
 
No point concerning ourselves about a player of this calibre until the 115/130 is confirmed as being out of the way, then we can start to get giddy. If all goes to plan I expect us to finally start blowing clubs out of the arena.
Plus whether we get CL football or not. I can’t see anyone of Wirtz or Camavinga’s quality coming if we’re in the Europa League or Conference.

I guess because we need to replace Kev's creativity now so we will be signing someone to do that hopefully. Whereas with the players you mentioned, we signed those to play a different role.

You never know how true rumours are but I’ve heard he’s an absolute dickhead and has a load of hangers on who go with him everywhere, who are dickehads as well.

IMO? I don’t know their stats but cherki is far more creative than Bernardo and Grealish have ever been . Also Lemar was already more creative than Bernaddo during the Monaco times

He is putting up better numbers than Bernardo (Monaco) and Grealish (Villa) best seasons combined near enough at the minute,

36 games, 8 goals, 18 assists this season but don't see us going for him

Cherki is far more creative currently for Lyon than those two at their previous clubs. As I mentioned earlier & by other posters, teams are far more well drilled in the Premier League when playing a low-block & we're not breaking them down as easily as previous seasons. We probably need to go for both Wirtz & Cherki in the summer to address the creativity concerns.

You can decide for yourself on Cherki, albeit a small sample set when he plays against United later on this week in the Europa League. The problem is most of the Premier League will also be keeping a closer eye on him too.
 
Florian Wirtz is not signing for us if we are not in the champions league.
No elite player is signing while the 115/130 charges are hanging over us.
We sound like utd when they need to sell season tickets.
