Florian Wirtz (AM) Bayer Leverkusen

And now imagine some overly disgruntled Bayern fans slagging off Wirtz which precipitates him changing his mind and joining us.

Too dumb didn’t read;

Scruffy nobodies Liverpool have given up hope of signing Wirtz. They are weakly crying in their tea like a bunch of loser babies.

Tall, handsome and manly Bayern are quietly confident that their total superiority in every facet of football, life and magnificence, will be enough to persuade the boy to sign.

Random smug smarminess etc…

I have some choice wirtz for Bayern Space

Although who is this D Heller calling Bayern Space a fraud?

I’m going to watch this a bit longer. This feels like @GermanRed and @cynicaloldgit going at it.

An entitled fanbase thinks someone will join them.

Yeah well we should just give up now. Joyce saying we are interested is fine by me. None of these sources are much cop.

They spent a podcast episode of TAW discussing this. Went down in my estimation as a result. So obviously bullshit creative writing of some clown in his mummies basement

Thing is very few are actually in the know, this guy is as much a chancer as football insider and the like.

I reckon he’s Indykaila’s German cousin.

They’re all full of shit. Joyce and Ornstein seem the only ones with any reliable info

It’s kinda scary that we, apparently, even have to discuss this tbh.

If our club manages to even get 60 mil for Nunez, it would be a bargain for us. I cannot believe, I simply refuse the thought; that even the saudis will be willing to pay 100 mil for Nunez. Have you a source for that or do you speculate ?
I think we should be willing to sell him for 30 myself and I doubt we get more than 40. Sometimes you have to take a loss. We bought him very expensively, but he hasn’t lived up to anything near that price and then we must be willing to shift him for far less if we are serious about out willingness to sell him at all (and we should, imo).

I kind of find his updates entertaining.

Regarding English clubs maybe.

Some foreign journalists specialise in German football and some specialise in Italian etc. It’s about what network they have and certain clubs only leak to certain people. Fabrizio Romano a very good example of a person with a wide network where many clubs choose him to leak to. But sometimes even he will be wrong, because negotiations turns bad etc.

Jan Aage Fjørtoft for instance, knew absolutely everything about Haaland. Because they chose him to leak to. It varies with agents and clubs, which journalist has which network.
Pretty dirty bussiness, information mongering about football ! :slight_smile:

What does a club gain from leaking news? It’s obvious what the recipient of the leak gets, but what about the club?

I watched a documentary about this a couple of years ago. Several information mongers were interviewed. Among them Fabrizio Romano. They also interviewed several officials from clubs (some anonymous).
I remember it as it was about controlling information flow, when it gets out, how it gets out. Timing. Clubs only leak to a (big clubs anyway) to a very select few people; sometimes only 1, that they trust. They allow this person, who has built up trust with the club over years, to release anonymous leaks where the persons in the leak are not mentioned (the players and clubs are). I wish I could watch the docu again today, because I don’t really remember everything.
But basically, Fabrizio Romano is a very lucky boy…

Assuming any of this is true, all it seems is his party giving a ‘come get me’ to Bayern. Let’s be honest here: A young, very good German player is being eyed by Bayern.

Its about 90% in Bayern’s court. 10% to everyone else.

The cunts.

Romano tends to be a guy who’s heard from a more reliable local journalist and reports it after the fact. Tuned into to a lot of journos, but not clubs.

There’s definitely reliable journos across the sport. The transfers of Diaz and Nunez were both broken by south American (Pipe Sierra) and Portuguese journos (Relevo and Ojogo were the papers if I iirc) before ours said anything. Mamardashvili was reported by the Spanish first. For German journos Bild Sport is usually pretty reliable whereas Bild, and Sky are much less so. Plettenberg can be on the ball with Bayern but that’s about it, and not always guaranteed. Falk is essentially just a talking head. Important to note none of the Germany based updates have been from Bild Sport.

Our lot tend not to say anything until it’s pretty much a done deal, and have been that way since the vvd fiasco. Even if they do know they ain’t saying a peep until the club let them know it’s kosher to do so.

Shame on those who questioned Bayern Space. From doubters to believers.
