Florian Wirtz - City withdraw interest according to Jack Gaughan and others (p543)

[Tevez City]

I am sad & disappointed for not getting new shiny toy this summer, but the reality is Foden has to step up and fill the void of KDB.

Wirtz is #10 , plays behind the striker to create and score

Phil has done it before and should do it again, he can't have two off consecutive seasons !

If he can't do it, then Marmoush, Oscar, Echeverri & Mcatee or even O'Reilly might step to fill the #10 role.

 

[M Gaudino]

Musiala.

has just signed a new contract and also tore his hamstring recently

 

[jimharri]

Nah man, I’m just lying to myself at this point.

I wanted him so badly — I was obsessed for months. I watched every single YouTube comp, every highlight, every touch.

Feels like everything’s fallen apart.

 

[nmc]

Its blackmail basically, 100m or wait to next summer with 1y contract left.

The Bayern way.

Totally agree

Foden was our player of the season last year, even if he hasn't quite matched the unreal expectations people had for him he's among the very best in the world

he's just having a bad season, we all know that, and he's not the only one

 

[Centurions]

Someone on Twitter put it perfectly: if we’d signed Wirtz now, Bayern would’ve just taken him from us in 2-3 years anyway. Honestly, I’m fine it didn’t happen — I’d rather avoid the endless circus every transfer window with Bayern tapping him up.

And how many times exactly has that happened?

And how many times exactly has that happened?

From the moment Bayern missed out on Boeteng and Sane they were in their ear and both were advised to run their contracts down. Bayern openly agreed terms with Boeteng and announced his signing without agreeing anything with City.

Imagine how right we would get it if we signed our first rather than fourth choices ;).

Very true, but I think, for example, getting Koulibaly instead of Dias would have been a massive mistake even though Ruben was supposed to be our third choice.

 

[eastmanc]

i mean dias 4th choice look how that turned out haaland wasn't first choice look how that turned out look at rodri wasn't first choice jorginho was then went after fred

Imagine getting Jorginiho instead of Rodders. Gives me shivers of horror just thinking about it.

Let Phil get his illness sorted and get him in behind Haaland. On form he's as good as anybody.
