Florian Wirtz (AM) Bayer Leverkusen

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)

My guess would be Match Apperance, Goals, Assists, Win Bonus, Premier League win bonus, Champions League qualification and win bonuses. FA Cup win bonus.

My guess is only him the club and people close to him know.

It’s calculated on the ‘plastic club index’; aka done in such a way as to make it look like we are spending way more than we are and to give a whataboutery for Cheaty and Chelsea to claim they aren’t spending way more than everyone else

Much more realistic. Other number was probably supposed to be in different currency and/or with all bonuses met.

Ditto

Most time spent listening to Mo at the coffee pod

ACFC put up a great summary of why Wirtz will be awesome for Liverpool. He’s an elite offensive talent. We are gonna score lots of goals next season!

Let me say now, he was Wirtz the Wait! :heart_eyes:
Brilliant signing, and I’m very excited to see him play for us! YNWA.

Argh! I can’t take the puns any more!

Can we just call him Flo like the Leverkusen fans do?

That’ll probably get worst.

That only invites the addition of a “p” by rival fans to sing “flop”.

Not sure what you’re alluding to. I think we should go with the Flo.

And only needs a g in the In Match threads…

Plus, if we call him Florian we can have chant for him to the tune of Gloria.

That final n is a bit of nuisance though.

Flo glow just to have some body.

The word “flow” paired up with “Flo”, though…
Song potential!
“Wirtzual reality” whenever he assists also, much to Red Whippet’s dismay!
