It’s not just the fee these days though. Wages, agents fee etc.But when we are supposedly spending a huge fee on MGW its ”the club have a lot of money and have been net spend champions for years, who cares if its twice as much as he is worth its not our money”.
Apparently it was too hot for himWhat time has been wasted. We negotiated with Bayer, the lad came to Manchester, gave us his decision a few days later. Seasons not even over and windows not even open FFS
IMOThat's a good question.....marmoush is a very good player but where does he fit in when Haaland is fit? I've asked this question a number of times recently....no one has answered...my thoughts was ge could play from wide but as you say I'm really not sure
Nottingham Forest were one of very few promoted teams who stayed up, and spent almost all of this season in the top 4. Gibbs-White is largely responsible for that. MGW can be a top player and is playing in a very average side whose play is concentrated on defence.MGW is not a player who wins you either the CL or the PL.....not even close - another overrated average and soon to be overpriced english player.
And Marmoush is a great goal scorer but he is not a creative no.10
Great example.Just do a PSG. Upgrade the whole squad with the money which would’ve been for Wirtz. Players PSG signed were not world class but together they are a world class unit / team
Savinho is 21 and played his first season in the Premier League. Like Doku he's not the finished article but he has something. Not all players are at their best aged 21. Some are e.g., Owen, Fowler, Foden, others develop but their talent at that age is obvious.I’m all for it too, but Savinho is absolutely gash.
You will not find many more dynamic forwards than Marmoush or Haaland. The supply line is weak.We will win the PL next season. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Savinho is the player of the season as well.
This summer is not about buying the shiniest toy or thinking there is a single player magic bullet who will solve all of our problems. It’s about signing round pegs for round holes to get the most out of Doku, Savinho, Foden and Haaland.
This side is chronically short of energy and movement in the final third. Get two energetic midfielders and fullbacks who can cover the pitch to provide more options going forwards and help prevent the counter, and you’ll see a completely different City side.
You can’t guarantee that can you.We’ve dropped a right bollock pulling out of this one. He will absolutely rip the league apart with Liverpool
Some think we buy players in a sweet shopWhat's the point of continuing to pursue him if we know he doesn't want to come?
Great example.
I still stand by if this was 2 summers ago we would do it because we had the core squad. Like when we signed Jack.
Do you all want Wirtz more than long term success?
Fair play to Liverpool for pulling it off, fair play to Leverkusen to saying fuck off to Munich, fair play to City for standing ground and seeing the bigger picture.
Of course the cost is more than just a fee.It’s not just the fee these days though. Wages, agents fee etc.
How many times have we had to read that Haaland cost more than 51m?
Bottom line is that Wirtz’s wages will be double MGW and the agent fee will be much higher as well. These are all things that matter within PSR as well.
I agree with just spend the money if the player is worth it but personally I’d rather us sign multiple players than one. Give me MGW, Reijnders, 2 Full backs, GK and potentially more.
Nathan Ake was thought to be similar by some, how did that work out?MGW is not a player who wins you either the CL or the PL.....not even close - another overrated average and soon to be overpriced english player.
And Marmoush is a great goal scorer but he is not a creative no.10
Yeah if we build that team and then have all these developmental players as well it’s going to be really excitingExactly. Gibbs white isn’t going to win trophies on his own. But you pair him with Rodri and Reijnders that’s a different prospect.
Same with defence you pair Dias and Gvardiol with actual full backs you will see a better Gvardiol and Dias.
upgrade those areas also go for an attacker if we sell Grealish and we will look different from last season
Reijnders is a prime example, we are about to spend 65m on him and he’ll be a star here I’m sureSavinho is 21 and played his first season in the Premier League. Like Doku he's not the finished article but he has something. Not all players are at their best aged 21. Some are e.g., Owen, Fowler, Foden, others develop but their talent at that age is obvious.
You shouldn't comment about football.
