Florian Wirtz

[jrb]

His parents flew to Manchester, got the tram from Manchester Airport, changed at Piccadilly Gardens, got off at the Etihad, had a walk around the North stand construction site, popped into Mary D's for a pint, and then went to Tony's Chippy for Fish and Chips.

Saw JRB taking pictures and had a quick word

So, after the recent developments what do we know?
Don’t believe the ITKs
City are in negotiations for the transfer of Wirtz this must the case as you don’t hire a Biz Jet to fly his agents over for a stadium tour*
Don’t believe the ITKs

*My speculation is the talks must be at an advanced stage but they could be treating all bidders with equal respect for Florian to make his mind up

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

One of my favourite places to go when I'm walking along the River Mersey, it's only about 20 minutes walk from Northenden but it's well worth the walk.

Sounds a right thick ****. Why didn’t he just fucking plot up there for 3 weeks?

In Coventry ?

Posting a message whilst simultaneously climaxing is impressive, I’ll grant you that.

I bet his monitor or iPad is a right mess. ;-)

Assuming he's still refusing to bin off them Wirtzual Reality goggles worn the past month, he'll be swimming in the stuff by now, wirtzually !

As a side note, I’m intrigued to see Viana’s transfer photo get up after years of Txiki’s M&S beauties.

When you say Txikis M & S beauties, I assume your`e talking about his pullovers/jumpers/sweaters ?

Reijnders is an 8 ...Wirtz is a 10

My wife says I am barely a 1 :(

Fuk me sideways . . .

 

[Matt Diablo]

Where are all the close thread clowns now . . .

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I’m not convinced,
But it is getting interesting!

Plus that quote from wirtz about leaving his comfort zone I think points to us.
Going from Germany to Germany and from a lower to an upper club in a very established path almost all German internationals do is hardly leaving his comfort zone is it

Rodri - Reijnders
Wirtz
Bobb Haaland Marmoush

Wow.

 

[Halloween Jack]

Probably said we like what we see, but will only consider City if we are in the Champions League. Come back when you've qualified.

[Wretched Vengeance]

We agree to 150m which completely rules out Bayern. Leverkusen possibly pay a smidge more for Ortega (I read somewhere they want him) and possibly McAtee? Thus making the transfer a little more financially balanced.

Probably talking complete shite.

Shush !!

Pep ffs

 

[sh249]

We did it in the treble winning season at times pretty well when Stones went into the middle

Pretty much all of our success under Pep has been in something similar to that shape, just with one of the defenders moving up to form the ‘2’ with Rodri/Fernandinho. No reason it couldn’t work with two proper midfielders instead. Especially if you have lateral centre backs who are comfortable defending in the wide areas (like Ake and Akanji in the treble season).
I like it - though Marmoush and Doku as the wide players might be overkill. With Wirtz (and Foden hopefully getting back to form), I’d prefer more ‘controlling’ wide players to help us move up the pitch coherently, without leaving us exposed to the dreaded ‘transition’ …
