Might make myself a German themed advent calendar to count down the days; instead of chocolate I’ll put a fancy sausage behind each door

If only we knew how John henry viewed his ownership of LFC. If they planning on selling the club in the next few years, what better way to get top dollar, than if we were the best in the world, and winning everything there was to win at that time…
Paying really big money for Wirtz could be viewed a couple of ways…
a) With TAA moving to pastures new, the playing formation of the team could change drastically. Instead of a Red Arrows approach with our forwards bearing down the channels chasing the long ball… AS might just swarm the opposition with good, rapid passing play from one end of the field to the other…
Viz: No urgency for an out and out striker, and the money outlay for buying such, because if the opposition’s penalty box had runners appearing from everywhere… would it matter who scored, as long we did.
b) If the rumours of AS being as brilliant a tactician as many state, who are we to say this guy won’t change the face of football as we know it, but, give him the players to do it… If AS wants this guy at high money, then surely, we could round-up the fringe players, and recoup most of it… Be just like playing with house money then… Or viewed another way, if we prevent the guy leaving on a free at the end of a contract, we should be able to recoup at least 50% of initial outlay… in other words, a percentage of the fee will be parked until the guy is sold on, 5-6years down the line…
c) Having just won the PL at a canter, why are we, as fans, even baulking at a high fee for a player. We are the Champions of England… Lets go from strength to strength.
Every big money signing comes with risk, but fuck it, so does crossing a busy road every day… Go for it, is what I say.
LFC is a special club… reading the history alone can make the hairs stand up on your neck, and who is to say we have still not got a few more chapters to publish yet…
If AS wants this kid, spend the money and get him to Anfield

I tried playing that with Mrs Limie last night. I hope you have better luck in coaxing Wirtz to Liverpool than I had.

From somone on twitter called BayernSpace. He apparently has good contacts. Long read but interesting…
I’m breaking my silence for this one tweet because there’s far too much misinformation circulating around Florian Wirtz, and it’s creating a wave of false hope within the Bayern fanbase that simply doesn’t reflect the reality behind the scenes.
Florian Wirtz will not be joining Bayern Munich, and there is no version of events where this transfer happens anymore.
That is the clear information coming from those directly involved, and it has been internally accepted at the club for quite some time now.
I’m not here to gain anything from this, and everyone is free to believe what they want, but the information I’ve shared over the past week has consistently been confirmed piece by piece, including the internal dispute between Hans Wirtz and the Bayern board, as well as the strategic PR campaign that followed, carried out by the usual Bayern-aligned reporters who essentially confirmed everything in their softened language to protect the club’s image.
From the beginning, Hans Wirtz was in contact with Bayern officials, particularly Uli Hoeneß, and while there was a mutual agreement on contractual terms in the event Florian would decide to join, it was never an exclusive commitment. The family had made it clear they would listen to offers from other top clubs before making a final decision, yet Bayern ignored this and prematurely pushed out a narrative through their media allies suggesting that Wirtz had already chosen Munich and would only consider them. That attempt to pressure Leverkusen into lowering the transfer fee was not only transparent but deeply disrespectful, and it severely damaged the relationship with the Wirtz family.
What followed were direct talks with Manchester City and Liverpool. Pep Guardiola had been personally pushing for months, and while City remained genuinely interested, the combination of high financial demands and Florian’s lingering indecisiveness ultimately led them to step back from the deal.
Liverpool, on the other hand, increased their efforts and left a far stronger impression on Florian and his family. Arne Slot’s tactical presentation, the club’s vision, and the personal approach taken during discussions made a clear impact.
In comparison, Vincent Kompany’s plan came across as underwhelming and failed to convince Wirtz that Bayern could offer him the right role from a tactical perspective, which only reinforced his decision to turn away from Bayern‘s project.
The choice not to join Bayern has already been formally communicated to the board.
The reason it hasn’t been made public yet is due to Bayern’s ongoing efforts to manage the narrative and prepare a controlled PR rollout that helps soften the blow. That explains the unusually tense and visibly frustrated tone of Uli Hoeneß in his recent interview, where he subtly acknowledged Liverpool’s involvement.
Out of respect for Bayern’s long-standing interest, the Wirtz family agreed to hold off on announcing Florian’s decision for a few more days, despite being deeply dissatisfied with the tactics used by Bayern in recent weeks. The respect is still there, but the trust has been broken.
There was also brief internal consideration from Real Madrid, but that has now faded. They neither have the current need for Wirtz’s profile nor the financial and strategic bandwidth to move quickly, while Florian has made it clear he wants clarity about his future and intends to finalize everything within a tight timeframe.
It’s also worth mentioning that Bayern had quietly been working on a potential signing of Juliane Wirtz, Florian’s sister, from Werder Bremen for their women’s team. That move was intended to help him settle more comfortably in Munich. Negotiations with Bremen were already advanced, and contract details had been worked out, but that idea has now been completely shelved.
The cancellation of that plan is yet another clear indicator that Bayern themselves know the transfer for Florian has collapsed.

That sounds like the “FSG source” is asking him for 2k for information, is this how we are raising money now?
Silly season has arrived, if Wirtz does indeed come it’s got nothing to do with these weirdos anyhow. Joyce confirming our interest means we are genuinely interested so make of that what you will.
Personally he saw my cheekbones post and went yeah I need to be adored at Anfield by this weirdo who posts on Anfield Noise.

Looked at some of the tweets from this BayernSpace dude.
I think he might be Bavarian CardiffPete. Here’s a taste.
’ I have poured an unfathomable amount of work into my Inter analysis—especially after cementing my legacy with a tactical masterclass that led my youth team to glory. Never before have I descended this deep into the tactical abyss, dissecting every layer with an obsessive precision that only a few can comprehend. This analysis isn’t just for those who have been waiting with bated breath—it’s also for Vincent Kompany’s coaching staff, who, let’s be honest, will undoubtedly find it invaluable. This is more than just football; it’s a cause, a mission, and perhaps the very key to progressing further.
In honor of this groundbreaking work, which will be unveiled in several parts, I have made the decision to withdraw from all other postings until the day of our battle against Inter. My words deserve to stand alone, undiluted, untouched by the noise of lesser thoughts. The next time you hear from me will be on 08/04/2025—until then, I expect every single one of you to immerse yourselves in this analysis, absorb it, understand it, and be ready.’

Walshy already wants Wirtz subbed off for Jota. This performance is a disgrace.
