What did you think he was gonna cost? People want the best talents in the world to come to city but at a cut price. We’ve leaned for cut price players recently and they’ve been shite.

You think we were priced out but Liverpool weren’t? Zero chance. City haven’t been able to convince him to join us and that’s it.
We've walked away from many a deal due to the selling club valuing a player higher than we were prepared to pay.
So the chance is not zero.

I think we got wind that he wanted Liverpool, which is why we briefed the press with the numbers Wirtz was asking for.

Txiki and the boards mismanagement of transfers since the treble win being put front and centre for everyone to see.People seriously aren't considering how expensive this deal is. We'd only be able go sign 1 or 2 others. If previous windows had gone better, maybe, but they haven't, so we cant.
If the club turned around said we're only signing Wirtz and 1 other player this summer, we'd all say 'no chance of the title next season'.

Fuck me, all this drama over one player. Not every player wants to come here or is worth the huge outlay in wages this lad is asking.
Say after me?
There are other players!

They play more exciting and direct football.I'd seen rumours that he favoured their style of play over ours. A tad worrying.
We piss around and play slow boring football which has fans only on this forum

Quite small time that. We used to laugh at the rags for this stuff.

If he doesn't come to City, I couldn't give 2 fucks where he goes. If he goes to the dips, he gets to finish second behind City next season.
Livramento and Kirkez would cost less than €150m and would probably take less than £300k a week combined.Strong disagree, would rather than a world class Wirtz and one other than a collection of 4 or 5 average to good players.
That's 2 very good players for less, those are the financial decisions the club are weighing up.
I'm not saying it'll be those 2 we get but we have to be realistic.
We're not "letting" someone go elsewhere if fundamentally they don't want to join us.Another transfer fuck up. Letting a top target go to a rival
Whilst I can't even begin to imagine why someone would rather play for Liverpool than City, the players (and their agents) will have different agendas to you & I.

The concerning thing is...why would he have a preference to Liverpool?
We (obviously, not whinging) don't have the same pull as we have done in recent years and why is that? It can't be because they've just won the league and we haven't because one off season in the last 7/8 years is fine.
It must boil down to style of play. In my opinion anyway. An attacking player like Wirtz wants space and freedom to be able to play. Liverpool allow that and they play fast, attacking football. We, on the other hand, play slow, side-to-side football. Which has worked a treat for years and seen massive success, but seems to be a bit archaic (boring) now.
If I was Wirtz, and I had the choice between the two, I know which I'd favour if it came purely down to style.
What annoys me is that teams seem to come onto Liverpool making it an expansive game. But teams against us just sit back. It can't be just down to them, they must do something different which makes teams more open. We don't.
Liverpool have less needs and less wasted transfer money in recent seasons. They only signed Chiesa last season. They have money to throw away.You think we were priced out but Liverpool weren’t? Zero chance. City haven’t been able to convince him to join us and that’s it.
