MGW will play left back?Nico Oreilly is better and mgw would reduce oreilly’s minutes. Surely we won’t sign him, it must be another one of those where we want the rags to gazump us.
Rumours are 75/80 million, which would be madness.
Grealish was head and shoulders a better player at Villa than MGW is now, it's not even close.People saying comparing this transfer to Grealish.
Grealish was proper star dust at Villa.
This guy is 'ok'.
Left back on the bench would be my guess after a month.MGW will play left back?
No, it doesn’t MGW and Wirtz are very different players, MGW much more Bernardo or Gundogan than KDB, like saying if we have Gundogan we don’t need KDB. It may not be Wirtz ,it may not be MGW but it will be 2.Bernardo and Kovacic could well go ,Grealish almost certainly,Gundogan will hardly play. Currently we play a 4 man midfield.In relation to money we have just blown 150 million plus in January and signed Haaland on a mega deal and additionally we may have to look at purchasing in other areas such as right back, goalkeeper etc.
If MGW plays in the midfield I cannot see Wirtz playing there as well. If anything Pep is getting more conservative within the midfield three. It would more likely be Rodri a controller (Gundog /Bernardo/Kova) type player along with a MGW and Wirtz, just like it has been through his whole time here.
Additionall we will also potentially have Bernardo, Kova, Gundog, Foden, Grealish, Gonzalez, Echeverri to find game time for.
If we’re all in for MGW it probably means Wirtz is a non-starter.

I’d rather have a catamaran at those pricesWe're going to be paying upwards of £80m for a player that can run around a bit and offers up an "engine".
Lee Cattermole would be worth £80m in today's market.
The true sign of an underwhelming transfer is when people have to pretend nobody is excited because his name isn't foreign enough.
I’ve watched him a fair bit and I don’t see the similarities.No, it doesn’t MGW and Wirtz are very different players, MGW much more Bernardo or Gundogan than KDB, like saying if we have Gundogan we don’t need KDB. It may not be Wirtz ,it may not be MGW but it will be 2.Bernardo and Kovacic could well go ,Grealish almost certainly,Gundogan will hardly play. Currently we play a 4 man midfield.
Financially and PSR wise , we have loads of room to spend and comfortably be within PSR restraints.
Also watched him closely recently.Watched him closely the last two games and he's been garbage.
I honestly don't know what he does.
Doesn't score goals, doesn't create many opportunities, doesn't dictate the play and he lacked any drive and energy tonight, a very lazy performance.
I keep seeing City fans say that he isn't the De Bruyne replacement, he's the Gundogan replacement. How? He's absolutely nowhere near the levels of prime Gundogan. We need players that have a high football intelligence to play in our midfield.
The games I've seen him, he's been playing as the number 10. He would be completely out of his depth at Manchester City. He's just not good enough for us at all.
Even Forest fans seem more than happy to see him leave. Says all you need to know really.
Please don't sign him City, we will massively regret it.
It isn’t the board, they know fuck all about footballers. Txiki, Viana, Pep Guardiola on the other hand know a fair bit. Still if bluemoon experts know better who are they to argue, lets leave it a football forum.Not like the club have built a trophy winning squad before is it.Absolutely this.
Nobody will ever gaslight me on this guy. He's just simply not good enough for us.
I feel insulted that we let go of Cole Palmer for 40m and now we are interested in signing MGW that will cost double the price.
The board are seriously taking the piss here.
So was Phillips at Leeds, and it was obvious he wasn't good enough.Grealish was head and shoulders a better player at Villa than MGW is now, it's not even close.
Okay lets see shall we.I’ve watched him a fair bit and I don’t see the similarities.
It might well be two new players and we might hopefully move players on, but my point all along is it won’t be those two.
