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

I feel like we need at least 3, perhaps 4 midfielders and I am only hearing 2 names so far in the media
 
They wanted 120m euros for him as it was around the time of the Enzo and Caicedo deals which put a lot of team off but then Paris agreed terms and Neves he wanted to go there and basically forced Benfica to take 70m euros.

I think the low fee (relatively speaking) reflected the absence of interest from other clubs. PSG got a free run at him.
 
How Jorge Mendes convinced us to go for Nunes when Neves was right there at Benfica - this should cost him at least 3 player's commission in the future deals.

What a miss!
Neves wouldn’t play for us anyways and you know why
 


If this is true: I’m a fan of Branthwaite—no doubt about that. But dear lord, why are we replacing Stones with someone who looks destined to follow the same injury trajectory? It’s like swapping one fragile CB for another.
And besides, do we even need another centre-back right now? If we do, are Everton actually willing to sell—and at a sensible price?

@Gaz (FMwkdsoul) Know anything about links to any CBs?
I heard that we were looking at Antonio Silva but that has died out, have you heard anything about CBs?

Isn't this the same idiot who thinks Wirtz isn't impressed with how we've used Ries and Echeverri? why believe anything hes coming out with.

He has flipped again. Go see the latest post on the Wirtz thread!
Anyway, heard anything on CBs, because we look stacked in that department?

I think we can only have 17 non-HG players in the PL squad. By my reckoning you have 19 there.

Savio and Khusanov are 21 now, so next season they dont get grouped in the u21 list and become a foreign player spot, so your 17 becomes 19 now.

This is why with all the transfer talk happening, im findung it difficult to see where the foreign spots are.

MGW links make more and more sense.

Without Wirtz that's only a 6/10 window.
 
Reading that Jack Gaughan article and following the news links in recent days, I get the feeling we are being primed to stick with what we have in attack and go with Foden/ Marmoush in the number 10.

No Wirtz.

Gibbs White the only addition in midfield, Cambiaso as the only fullback but can play left and right, and Costa in net.

I think we are going to have to massively lower expectations this summer.
