It’s Quiet 20 - What is the Wirtz that could happen?

[supercity88]

I think the midfield player will be someone we haven’t been linked with yet. Same as with the CBs we are going for

I reckon Rodri's just going to stroll out and play the full 90 minutes like he was never injured and then play every minute of every game and lead us to the treble.

Baleba would be my choice for midfielder but Luiz is fine for now :-)

I think it’ll be a player from Brazil.

A brazilian player or a player from the brazilian league mate?

The original story of Khusanov, Marmoush & Ederson seems to be correct so far (with the addition of Reis) so I have no reason to doubt we’ll see a concrete move for Ederson next. Luiz on loan would be a good signing though as well.

We don't need, and obviously won't find, a replacement for Rodri. We just need somebody who knows what they are doing in midfield, can protect the defence a little and put in shift.

As others have said, our CBs have been an injury nightmare this season. if we can get one or two CBs in who are used to playing first team football, then that should give us a level of depth that, due to injury, we are lacking. Great though they both are, surely one of Stones or Ake will have to leave in the summer?

If we can get somebody who's a bit different up front and can take the load off Haaland, that would complete amazing window for us.

I've never seen any of these guys play either, but it's more the the principle of getting bodies in to give us a lift that is important. If one of two of them go on to become a major part of our future success, that's a bonus.

I'm quite excited to see how our non-Galacticos turn out :)

Getting rid of both keepers is extreme

Not by choice I think it will happen if we go for a top replacement for Ederson

I'm into it, but then the other 2 year old thread needs locked to avoid both going on, and reading the same tweet on 5 threads.

Apparently, you can download this football transfer template for X to make your posts more efficient:-

<buying club> are ready to meet <selling club> demands of around <how much!!!?> for <player> and a <verbal agreement/sell-on clause negotiation/bunfight/war of words> between the clubs now close, according to <some joker>

That isn't all we need as a Rodri replacement though, our whole way of playing out from the back depends on the CDM having the ability,to receive the ball from the keeper and centre backe ,on the half turn and play through the pitch to the attackers,plus knowing when to drop in between the centre backs. Just being a pure DM protecting the defence is no good to us.

I'm sure the recruitment team will be ticking those important boxes as well. My point was that he doesn't have to be a world-beater, just somebody who knows what he's doing in that position. I'm sure Pep will be able to add those extra bits to his game over the next month or so.
