No we should charge £145M as we did for Coutinho as they obviously have not learnt their lesson add the same caveat that if they comeb back for another one of our players they have to pay £100M upfront for their troubles.
The only was selling Diaz makes sense is bringing in someone better and whos that.
We have Nunez.
Gentle reminder that this thread is about Florian Wirtz.
You already sound like a scouser.
@Fiasko welcome and a nice contribution to the thread.
I am now a BL supporter, happy if ETH does well because he has left the enemy, and will call the players Jery and Flo…..
@Fiasko ,welcome to TAN,we are only mad some of the time,
In the moments when everything was on the line and Wirtz had to make his final decision on who to say YES to, the player wanted to speak with the coaches of the clubs that were eager to have him before making his choice. Arne Slot was crucial — his approach made the difference. Always calm, very confident, very clear — he gave Wirtz a plan of what he expects from him, the position he will play, and how to refine and master that role even further on the pitch. Wirtz agreed to everything.

Michael Edwards had a plan for Florian Wirtz to become a Liverpool player as early as 2020, when Wirtz was still part of the youth setup at FC Köln. However, due to certain disagreements, the transfer never materialized.
Edwards remained in contact with Wirtz’s family, and five years later, Wirtz is now a Liverpool player.

How has this not been announced yet. Really thought it would’ve by now.
I’ve a reputation to hold being an ITK!!
Hi guys. Here are some quotes about Wirtz from an interview with Kalle Riedle and Eric Meijer. Think you know them both
Riedle played for the Reds between 1997 and 1999. The 1990 World Cup winner says: “Liverpool was cool even back then. Jürgen Klopp has made the club into something completely new. Liverpool has so much quality in attack, for every player it is a gift to be able to play in this team. Florian Wirtz has outstanding footballing potential, and on top of that he has his strength in one-on-one situations, which will help him in England. Florian is now taking a big step in his career. He will be a big hit with the fans with his style of play.”
Riedle praises Wirtz: “He is an exceptional player. Florian is a century talent, like we’ve never had before.”
Sky expert Meijer says about his compatriot Arne Slot’s (46/led Liverpool to the title in his first season as manager) idea of signing Wirtz: “He wants him because Florian is an attacking player who can play in the spaces and play the passes in the spaces. That’s something Liverpool like to do.”
Riedle was a fantastic player in his prime
Yep. It was nice that he played for us but I’d have liked to see him here a few years earlier.
Sounds like mad Erik is as good a ‘sky expert’ as he was a striker
Wasnt he a good striker for Liverpool? In Leverkusen, we loved him. He was a monster playing together with Ulf Kirsten.
We loved him for his passion, but not for his skills.
Could header the ball very well. He came to us a bit too late in his career.
