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

[Goldust]

In the summer I would like to see one or 2 high quality British players come in as we see the old guard start to move on. Gordon would certainly be on the list if they fail to get CL.

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.

Nail on the head it isn't about legs it's about being able to position himself to break attacks up being comfortable receiving the ball in tight areas and being able to play 1 or 2 touch football. This will free kovacic up to be the proper presser from the 8 position which is badly missing atm.

While he’s not a bad player, he has a face like a slapped arse that you want to punch but have no reason as to why…plus he’s a whiney git…we have better…

He reminds me of Foo Foo Lammar as well for some reason.

Yep, the reference to Bellingham on the other thread annoys the shit out of me!

Something actually quite fitting about that thread being named after a transfer that didn’t actually happen.

 

[Keeper!]

Going to be a transfer window to remember this one, something very special

Gordon has Liverpool player written all over him.

I dont mind Luiz as a stop gap DM signing for backup to Rodri.

In this way the club can potentially wait a little bit to monitor more DMs, Rodri will be 29 next year.

And while he still easily has 5 more years left, you dont wanna wait until he is past it to find his replacement.

Probably in like 3 years we will wanna sign the next big talents for this role, so buying Luiz can delay this as we currently just need a good backup and not an immediate starter.

Hate to admit and not sure why but this kid's "a face for radio" mug gets me every time.
