Florian Wirtz

Hardly anybody even plays with a number 10. Kev was best as an 8 when he had the legs to get up and down the pitch and drive us forward. Foden played off the right drifting centrally when he won player of the year. We've had legless De Bruyne playing 10 this season and it's been shite. Might work for Liverpool because they have 2 workhorses in McAllister and Gravenberch behind Wirtz but I don't think he was right for us to spend that money on.
Course he was mate . He is fucking top drawer and an elite player and would have took us to another level as he is that good .
 
Almost as funny as the mental gymnastics that people are doing to persuade themselves to persuade themselves that wirtz is the best player ever to lace boots and everyone should just give in now when the dippers sign him

I've watched him play about 5 times, mainly for Germany granted and every time he's been either anonymous or shite. Now he's obviously much better than I have seen from him as some good judges rate him highly but I'm finding it hard to feel too downhearted about missing out. I can't believe we aren't all over Cherki though, he's the absolute bargain of the century at his release clause.
 
Just trying to understand why we failed that’s all
The clue was in my post. He didn’t want to come and wants, it seems, to go to Liverpool.

You can’t fail if the target doesn’t want come. Failure would be if he did want to come but we didn’t want to match his wage demand. That would be a failure on our part, but isn’t the case.

So what happens to all this net spend what we do and the money we make from winning titles and selling players because it certainly doesn’t go on buying players .

I genuinely think it’s the clubs brief to the press that’s causing this about us failing to get him and not that he’s chose Liverpool, club saying he’s too expensive makes it seem that we’ve pulled out for money reasons and not that he’s chosen Liverpool.

Are you on the wind up now? That money is there - to pay for and give wages to players who want to come here.
 
.....and predictably our persistent top transfer target failure, the questioning of our approach and our apparent lack of pulling power, gives way to "he wasn't that good and I didn't want him anyway".
Anyone watching us this season knows we should have for once landed this one. Shown intent - not pants down, dick waving in the air yet again!
But hey ho, play the youth lads. The Werthers sucking Uriah Heeps will be delighted and chastise anyone wanting more.
The new lad taking over where the old lad left off. Bad optics. Yes things haven't gone too badly - but imagine if they'd been even better and we hadn't had this huge drop off.

Can’t blame him fof that as our style is absolute dross .
I wouldn't say its dross, however if a player wants to get recognized for their individual brilliance, then our current style of play (emphasis on current) would easily discourage them. If Bernie was at any other club that allowed him express himself, he would have at least been a Balon Dór nominee but the overly disciplined and mechanical way we play leaves very little room for individual brilliance. It's a winning formula alright but it can sometimes seem lifeless.
 
So is there any concrete info that we have pulled out or not?

“Cooled interest” is all we have to go off??

Our interest could heat back up after Sunday no?

"Withdrew" completely, not cooled.

If we have supposedly cooled our interest it’s because we’ve been told thanks for the interest but the move isn’t for me.
 
A lot of words to confirm you don’t actually know whether he will be good enough
And yet you can't form an opinion or an argument that he will
And if you read it properly, you eoukd see clearly that I said he won't be good enough as he is jot at the level of the players we are losing and 8s probably near his limit now.

So go on form an opinion and argument that says why he will be

Have we not just spent a shitload in January? Put your dummy back in. Wirtz does not want to play for Manchester City. Here are some players we missed out on that went to our “rivals” whilst we won trophies:

Van Persie
Pogba
Sanchez
Van Dijk
Maguire
Bellingham
Rice
Even fucking Messi.

If he doesn’t want to be at City we are better off without him, I am sure once Foden sorts himself out, we will all forget about this shite.

I’ll lend you my brick wall pal, it’s a bit bloody, mind.
 
thats what I hope, tomorrow we clinch our place in CL and then Txiki and Viana start to hurry. get some fuckers in ready for CWC.

He may improve the dippers or not. No guarantee that he would have improved us. He looks very good at Leverkusen but he didn't have to try and create against 11-man defences there, like he would with us.

We'll never know if he would have worked out for us.
