Liverpool FC: Arne & Hammered

[Halcyon Daze]

Financially they've blown 99% of clubs out the water who can't afford £126M this summer.

You’re already regressing. Everyone to 99%. Think this through. How many clubs in world football could legitimately afford to buy him? It isn’t just Liverpool you Wally. He’s chosen them. How difficult is that to understand?

 

[Halcyon Daze]

He just dug himself a hole and tryna justify it rather than just accepting he shouldn’t have described it as ‘blowing everyone out the water” with £200k a week (which he plucked out of nowhere)

He’s all over the place right now.

 

[Red London]

With that one he’s surely joking think he’s made a self aware joke there.

Either that or he has just self combusted.

Yeah look I'm not gonna get aggressive we are just having a chilled convo here.

How many clubs? I would say probably 5? But this is from the perspective of what other business they need to do. For example could Chelsea afford him? Of course, but realistically they can't afford him this window with the other business they need to do. Same goes for Newcastle etc.

If Wirtz was available for £80M then many clubs would be over it, Leverkusen set a price of £126M, probably didn't expect anyone to pay it, and it's probably made wirtz and his family shocked that Liverpool are prepared to pay it. That in itself makes Liverpool a very attractive option.

Only someone like Rodrygo can match Liverpool's signing of Wirtz.

Don't think we can sign anyone that will be better than Wirtz

Isak, that is the only one on the level of Wirtz

I mean, I just don't understand why we let Liverpool have a free fun at him. If we tried and failed I could sort of accept it.

Wirtz is utterly perfect for our 8 role and would set us up for a long time.

Na, no aggression. But we’re aligned then. At least 5 other clubs could afford him, and would take him. Would be a statement signing for City with KDB leaving. Chelsea are illogical in the market and would sign him too, I could go on regarding other clubs. Including us. Liverpool have blown nobody out of the water. The player has made his decision. Fair play to Liverpool’s staff to convince him of their project if true.

 

[Rasmi]

Which other important position? CF?

Lpool and City dominated the league with Firminho and Jesus up top!

Hell, Liverpool became champions with Gakpo, Nunez and Jota as striker options!!!

Wirtz would be the LW we need! Wirtz on the left, Saka on the right. Rice & Ødegaard behind them.

Put a Watkins in there and you are guaranteed to score for fun.

Except Isak, there is none that comes on the level of Wirtz

Isak/Wirtz >> Rodrygo >> Nico Williams/Leao >> Gyökeres/Sesko/Watkins.

Wirtz is not a left winger and would be absolutely waste of money if you use him as Martinelli. He’s a central player who drifts wide

The player has made his decision. What are you going to do? Who says there isn’t an interest? Plenty of clubs are interested. The behind the scene dynamics is something nobody here knows.

 

[Michael AFC]

According to some Bayern insider (he's been spot on everything), Wirtz chose Liverpool bc:
-His convo with Kompany did go well
-Bayern, constantly leaking info to the media
-Bayern's facilities can't match LFC
-The Liverpool project was more appealing to him

He rejected City long ago (his family was worried that Pep's style of play would harm his development). The statement from City was nothing but to save face.

in full force today.

We better have an elite level signing in the works this summer if Pool are getting Wirtz.
Are Liverpool also signing two new fullbacks, a Lw and a CF in addition to Wirtz? Because how the **** do they afford all that?

Big chance they are selling Diaz for €60m to Barca. On top, they did not spend last year so they have the budget for 2 years.

You do realise that Lpool is buying him to play LW right, replacing Diaz...

Too many other holes to plug. It’s unfortunate but Liverpool and City were always going to strengthen. If we get what we all know we need then I’m not worried.

No. He will not be stuck out wide

They aren't doing that. He will be in the middle with Gravenberch and MacCallister

 

[Vinci]

Was hoping they'd just stick with the Hungarian plumber, but Wirtz is a massive gamechanger.

Check the line-up of Leverkusen, they play 3-4-3 and Wirtz plays as left attacker.

Why would they sub Szoboszlai who is their second best attacker this year?
