Florian Wirtz to city rumours flying around... We should be looking at him.. perfect for the no 10 role.. elite level player...

Think the fee and wages for Wirtz will get out of our stratosphere very quickly with City and Bayern sniffing. And at 21, he'd be getting a pay bump by the time he's 24-25 to boot. Great player, though.

I don't think we should buy anyone.

Yea this is one to forget. If we only had one position to fill, I'd be strapped in for the long ride ending in disappointment. But we have basically every other position to sort first

He will have retired by the time they release the judgement.

Dont see it personally, doesnt have the range of passing to open up low blocks

The way the game has gone it's not really about playing through balls against deep-lying sides anymore it's about making them change their shape and his ball-carrying and ball-retention skills could do that in the same way as Gravenberch did in the first half of the season. Every team seems to have a plan for Gravenberch now but that's harder to do against two players. I'd even consider swapping Mac Allister and Szoboslai against the bottom half sides.

Baleba is being valued around Caicedo price but he'll be an absolute star.

Yeah I like the idea of this, or dropping Dom back and playing Harvey further forward. 

Feels like a lot of games recently have us needing Harvey on to create something, but Slot often likes to stick with his shape. Can't argue with him given where we are

This Huijsen fella at Bournemouth that people are excited about... can't defend in the air. s***e for two goals yesterday, stay away from him.

Yep, I was at the game, didn’t stand out at all.

Plenty to chew on there.

He'd certainly beef up our attacking options. 

[ThewaytoRome]

Wharton back to playing like last year.  A playmaker type though not an all action runner like baleba.

I think the only player from the PL we will buy is Kerkez.

What were you wearing? Next time try Extreme Steampunk gear. Or catwalk style clothing. Or X-Men cosplay. Maybe lederhosen.
