Florian Wirtz

I really don think anyone bis coming in to replace Kev. We'd just change styles a bit. I think the mixture of Phil, Omar, Oscar, Doku and Echeveria are supposed to be that .

Wirtz would be great, but i just don't see it. I think Wirtz moves in the summer and i don't think we are ready to call quits on the ceiling on any of our young attacking prospects in the summer.

Phil, Omar, Doku,, Savio, Bobb, Echeveria are all not at the peak of their potential yet and i dont see us in a hurry to move any of them this summer.
Personally, I agree with you, the attacking options are stacked.

Many seem to disagree though. And thats okay.

You didnt include them, but I suspect Grealish and McAtee to stay, I think they have a place in this team as a creator and goal scorer respectively.

Yeah, i left out the borderline guys, ehich potentially includes Bernardo too. Albeit he might move to the CM Role permanently it he stays.

But just on those who sre damn near guaranteed to be here, adding Wirtz seems hard. I feel like Marmoush took his spot.

Coz originally when i wanted Wirtz/ Musisla it was to replace Alvarez and then become the future Partner to Phil behind Haaland in a double 8.

But i think we are switching to a double pivot with Rodri and Gonzo (Kova and Bernardo as their backups). So we are going to end up with 3 attacking players behind Haaland. And we already have 5 plus perhaps Grealish, McTee and Echeveri

Agreed. Can’t see it happening. I’d assume it’d mean that he’d take one of the positions up top of Foden, Haaland, Savinho or Marmoush which I don’t want/can’t see happening - unless he can play deeper but then doubt that too with Rodri and Nico.

And doubt he’d settle for a rotation role when he’d likely walk into any starting line up in Europe.

If its just Kova and Bernie as the double pivot backup to Rodri and Nico we are doomed to repeat our mistakes lol.

We need another 8/6 hybrid desparately. I even want 2 more (selfish I know) to just completely lock it down for the future (1 of Kova and Bernie likely need to go).

I see where your coming from for the attacking spots.

Although there is a saying "If one of the best players in the world is available, you have to go for them".

And Wirtz is. If the money is there, then maybe we offload other attackers to make room.

Perhaps on Wirtz.


I wont mind getting Andrey Santos as the 3rd guy for the double pivot, but i doubt he'd wanna come become the 3rd wheel here. I can see that position becoming Stones role in a pinch if neither of the 2 Spaniards are available. But id either one is,; can aee eothrr partnering with Kova or Bernardo. Or better yet, ship both out and bring in Santos. 3 guys for 2 spots
 
The don't need Wirtz stuff is insane . He'd instantly become our best player with Rodri . All these attacking players named from our squad who can't score or create . We are 4th !
Exactly! People are saying we don't need Wirtz because we have McAtee, Bobb, Marmoush, O'Reilly, Echeverri etc. McAtee will not be a top 5 midfielder in the world, Echeverri has played one senior season at Argentina, Bobb is a right winger, Marmoush is basically a second striker off the left, not a midfielder. We absolutely need Wirtz to pair up with Foden, Rodri and Nico. He is and will be one of the best players in the world for the next decade.

Tbf.

We are 2nd in goals scored in the league.
Thats with no Bobb or Echeverri who can clearly create and score goals.
The new Marmoush who will help even more to score goals.
Savinho improving throughout the season on his output to create.

But tied 10th with United for goals conceded.

I think suggesting the attack is not a priority over defenders or defensive midfielders is a pretty rational suggestion.

Tbf we can buy Wirtz and still buy a defender and a defensive midfielder.

You've absolutely no idea how good Bobb or Echiverri are, or will be at our level.

If true then great. Although I'd want maybe one more of them, and a goalie (unless both stay), before we go for Wirtz.

But if the funds are there I have no problem with it. We will have to ship a couple attackers out to do that.

Bobb we definitely do, he is clearly going to be a top player.

Echeverri I'll give you, less proven, but he is one of the top u20 talents in the world, not a bad player to have in our ranks as a backup I'd say.

You don’t either, we are all guessing. Guessing we may have enough at 10 is no less reasonable than guessing we need somebody else like Wirtz. We might want him we might not.

They are guesses, but it isn't a guess to say that Wirtz is one of the best players in Germany at the age of just 21. It isn't a guess to say that only Foden and Haaland of our attackers have consistently reached that level.

He's obviously better than all our other options in that position and I can't believe I'm having to point out that he's a better player than Oscar Bobb!
 
Can’t see us getting Wirtz, if Madrid are really interested they’ve probably been tapping him up for a while. Bayern ditto. We desperately need someone to replace KDB, while Phil offers more goal scoring threat, he just isn’t as creative so occasionally without KDB we can look a little toothless.

For me Wirtz would arrive almost exactly like KDB, with stellar assist numbers in the Bundesliga with a few years before he hits his peak. He’d be perfect but can’t see it with Madrid and Bayern hovering.
 
Would be an amazing addition,but alot will be after him for sure.
Many will want him, but only a select few will have the means to compete. In the end, only one will succeed, for destiny does not entertain many contenders—only the one bold enough to claim it. ;)

And we have Doku coming back
