Wirtz the colour of money. Don’t tell me you think its green, I know it’s red!

That exactly how Arne says “words”.

To be serious I’ve always wanted to see him come here. Just seemed a perfect fit for some reason.

He probably won’t but it’s worth showing our interest.

If quoted price of 120 million is true guess Nunez is gone to Saudi for 100 million. Can’t see how we can invest so much on a CAM and then have funds to buy a world class Forward.

Have you got an odds tracker for the amount of Wirtz puns that’ll be in this thread by the time it’s locked?

Bundle him up with Frimpong and Hincapie and ask Leverkusen for a a group discount or cheapest one for free.

Save on airfares too if we fly them over together. One unveiling, one press conference, one set of media and socials. With those kind of economies if scale we’ll have plenty left over for a forward.

I’ll chuck in the “Bayer Liverpoolsen” and “Buying Leverkusen” headlines in for free too.

Was this close to pointing out the actual pronounciation of his name, but then realised it’s probably not wirtz it

I wonder if any bookies would want to spread a few rumours to shorten any potential losses?

The amount of money they take on these bets, it probably isn’t worth their while. It’s mainly fans having a tenner on the player coming to their team.

If someone placed a significant bet on it, that would set the bookies’ alarm bells ringing.

Or, perhaps, the club just might not consider it as pressing an issue as fans might?

I wonder if the fans will accept him… Wirtz an all…!

I just can’t see it happening. He’d be an enormous upgrade on Szoboszlai, and I doubt we’ll sign him as a false nine, although maybe if we bring in Frimpong, it could make some sort of sense as Salah would occupy more centrally, allowing a false nine to drift into those spaces. I also think we’ll sign proper strikers.

A fun link, but I feel he’ll be off to City or Bayern.

Reddy:

“Liverpool would be looking to seize an opportunity that wasn’t expected given Wirtz was due to remain in Germany.”

“Manchester City and Bayern Munich have done the heavy pushing and pursuing thus far”.

If we are surprised about Wirtz moving this summer or that it might be outside Germany…

We have no chance of signing Wirz he will go to Bayern the only other suitors he would countenance would be RM or Barca but both would rather wait until his contract runs out.
