To be fair, Phil had forgotten what he was capable of until recently!Don't need Wirtz when we have Foden to play there. Seems people are suddenly forgetting about what he's capable of.
Foden isn't a playmaker though, not from what we've seen from him so far, he's a second striker.Don't need Wirtz when we have Foden to play there. Seems people are suddenly forgetting about what he's capable of.
We would have been top of the league.
We have to replaced Kdb with quality. So yes, need Wirtz as a KdB replacement. Wirtz isn't replacing Foden, he is replacing KdB. The more quality players we have the more games and trophies we win.
Fair point.

Is Wirtz? I haven't seen him loads, but from what I have seen I wouldn't say he's super creative. Albeit clearly an extremely good footballer. (better than Musiala who gets more hype)
His assist tally suggest so but I haven't watched him consistently.Is Wirtz? I haven't seen him loads, but from what I have seen I wouldn't say he's super creative. Albeit clearly an extremely good footballer. (better than Musiala who gets more hype)

I've only really seen him a handful of times for Germany and in those games I would describe him more as a very intelligent player with an eye for goal. But I'm certainly no expert on him.

We’ve also got Bobb to fit in.His assist tally suggest so but I haven't watched him consistently.
What did he say about Yaya againPaul Merson reckons he's a panic buy and he'll never play, based on his track record we've got another world beater on our hands
I am so sorry but for me, Musiala is a baller, I like him more than Wirtz and Musiala is the most perfect player for low blocks we face every game. Wirtz is a star too. Anyway, if we don't get Wirtz, Baena would be mint too, super creative player.Albeit clearly an extremely good footballer. (better than Musiala who gets more hype)
By the way, I have watch both Musiala and Wirtz a lot!
Showed what a difference a single player can make. Apart from running the game I loved him organising everyone around him. He was a leader in his first full game and the spine of him stones Foden and Haaland gave us an entirely different look.Easy to see why we’ve tracked him for so long. Seamless display against a very good midfield.
As other have pointed out, he took 3/4 years off Gundogan, gave proper passing lanes to Ederson and the centre backs.
Was always in the right position to stop the simple transition ball that’s been killing us.
Tougher tests to come, but a signing with huge potential.

Musiala is good but kills too many attacks for Bayern for me, when I've seen them. Yeah, now and again he will do a wonderful dribble. But a lot of times he loses the ball when an easy pass to Kane or out wide could have been made. I know he's young though and decision making will only get better. But in terms of their overall tools, I like more from what I see from Wirtz myself.

Very impressed. Expected him to be a nice footballer which he is but really covered the ground to break up attacks and kept getting a foot in. Really like the look of him
Knew he was going to be brilliant for us. What a temperament, especially as he's been played more as a sort of 8 for Porto and is adept further forward. The fact that he clearly ignores instinct in favohr of the plan is fantastic. Can see immediately that he takes Pep's instructions and follows them through on the pitch. Him and Godri together will be insane - when 1 pushes up, the other will sweep & dictate. Perfect.

He was great today. He's what has been missing since Rodders got injured. It's only one game but he looks a quality signing.

Fully agree. Really promising signs.
