Florian Wirtz (AM) Bayer Leverkusen

It’s been pretty clear over the last several years that FSG was willing to sanction major purchases, but only for exceptional talents. World record CB purchase in Van Dijk. World record GK purchase in Alisson. Reported pursuits of Mbappé, Bellingham, and Caicedo. And now Wirtz.

We did it 1892 by all accounts.

Haven’t had the chance to watch yet, but Clery’s stuff is usually excellent:

Yes.

Was on holiday in Turkey with my parents when he went. I had spent half of that summer writing out our possible teams if we signed the players I wanted.

The only ones I remember are Sutton and Tim Flowers.

TIL Paul Joyce is an actual human man with a real voice and not just a concept we as the Liverpool fanbase collectively made up as the god tier source of any information transfer related.

I must admit I have never watched any of this guys videos but this video is mind boggling, all the tiny doubts at the back of my mind about this transfer have disappeared in fact I have got carried away and decided we don’t need a CF anymore. As long as Wirtz is not played against Everton we will be OK.

Adam Clery does a great job. Been watching his stuff for a while. He’s a Newcastle fan but not partisan, and will say what he sees and bring the analysis. He’s all-in on Wirtz.

Oh wow, that’s nearly half what’s been reported, great news.

I guess the £355k pw figure that’s been quoted is what he could earn at the top end if he meets all performance-related bonuses.

Well, I have no idea how these bonuses are calculated. Goals, assists? What else?

Could also be a fee paid per appearance, or team-related bonuses like trophies won etc?

I imagine they depend a lot on the player (Virgil’s bonuses probably less about goals and assists etc)
