Florian Wirtz

Hope we get him in but also get Doku. I think we need both, i.e.
- another CM option in case of a Foden injury to add to KDB's current state.
- a winger with pace to give us an extra dimension.

Hopefully that'd still allow plenty of games for the entire squad.

As some posters have already mentioned, we would have to offer 100m quid from the get-go and McAtee on loan to have any chance of making this happen. Even then, the player might opt to stay, or Bayer might not be willing to let go of their biggest asset just yet.

What would he say if we dropped 120 million euros on the table

We aren’t Chelsea. We wouldn’t pay that much for a prime Kane, never mind an unproven 20 year old.

Wirtz is a class act, that's like saying someone wouldn't have wanted to pay that money for foden 1/2 years ago. Not saying we go that high but the guy will be the best about

Not going to happen this time but no harm in keeping track of the situation for next summer.

Agreed but we are very predictable and sometimes we need to mix it up a bit. The need is great and this guy will be more expensive next year. He’s not going to be a a Phillips MK2.

But could he be an Ozil / Havertz / Werner Mark II?

We have a better track record of scouting the bundesliga than most clubs. I can't think of another club in England that would have found Akanji for 19 million.

 

[Damien10]

The club will know if this is possible this season or not. Talks have taken place.

Is there a reality to this or just another whisful thinking??
