I'd imagine it's quite obvious why I would say that.Why is it so hard to imagine that a player can choose the Dips over us? They are the premier league champions and we still haven’t secured a spot in the CL. Also there is the added uncertainty of the charges. Delusional.
For a club that spent £100m and about £300k a week on Grealish we can hardly take the high ground on ridiculous feesNot £200m over 5 years.
Haaland at £50m and say £400k a week is £150m over the same time period.
The club have more needs and won't put other positions and transfers at risk for 1 player.
3rd most expensive signing of all time behind Neymar and Mbappe is ridiculous.

Don’t worry and be happy that trio of silva Gundo and Kovacic will start for us next seasonRice middle finger and signs for Arse, Wirtz middle finger signs for dippers.
bad fucking situation imo.
Arse already sorted out Zubimendi and talking to Gyokeres and Rodrygo too while dippers looking at Kerkez too.

We have spent £60mil on a midfielder that Pep barely picks and are looking at Gibbs White for at least £70mil. Maybe we will start in 2026.True but we can learn from our mistakes.
If a player wants to choose Arne Slot over working with Pep Guardiola, good luck to them.The concerning thing is...why would he have a preference to Liverpool?
We (obviously, not whinging) don't have the same pull as we have done in recent years and why is that? It can't be because they've just won the league and we haven't because one off season in the last 7/8 years is fine.
It must boil down to style of play. In my opinion anyway. An attacking player like Wirtz wants space and freedom to be able to play. Liverpool allow that and they play fast, attacking football. We, on the other hand, play slow, side-to-side football. Which has worked a treat for years and seen massive success, but seems to be a bit archaic (boring) now.
If I was Wirtz, and I had the choice between the two, I know which I'd favour if it came purely down to style.
What annoys me is that teams seem to come onto Liverpool making it an expansive game. But teams against us just sit back. It can't be just down to them, they must do something different which makes teams more open. We don't.
Think we flew him to Liverpool insteadOnly flew him out to MCR
He rejected us, plain and simple. All the money stuff is just us saving face, we knew exactly the rough amount we’d be paying from the start, and would’ve paid it had he said yes.I'd imagine it's quite obvious why I would say that.
I'm a City fan, and most definitely not a professional footballer, so given the choice, I know where I'd be going.
But Wirtz and other footballers are most likely not fans of the clubs interested in signing them so would consider many factors when making the decision, as I have already said. Same as we would when thinking about changing jobs.
Don’t be ridiculous, there okay signings but no where near enough. This Reijnders guy has gone up levels since we’ve been linked with him. Nobody a month ago was asking for him. We suffer chronically with lack of creation and that’s before KDB leaving. So how does that get resolved…Still think if we get Reijnders, MGW/Eze and Livramento, we challenge for the league big time.

People have been talking about Reijnders on here for a while. A number of posters have wanted him badly.Don’t be ridiculous, there okay signings but no where near enough.

Sound like copium to me. But that's alright, I do think he is a tad too expensive for someone who can go missing in games alot. ps: I'm a big bundesliga buff so I watch his games alot, considering I thought he was 100% joining us.So less than Wirtz again. £25m less as well.
Anyway it's false equivalence. We have 4 or 5 needs in the squad, we signed Grealish when we we had no needs at all, we did it because we could. He was our only signing.
Would you be happy if we only signed Wirtz this summer?
Because I sure as shit wouldn't be.
We signed him in 2021. Inflation takes that to about £123m today.So less than Wirtz again. £25m less as well.
