All looks very promising indeed. Let’s beat Palace and have a party tomorrow, then a fantastic parade on Monday. All the while Hughes can negotiate and we can agree a fee and get the Wirtz medical done next week.
Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez. Would be lovely to have those three wrapped up early.
Then we can see what else we might like to do, and I’m sure outgoings will also have a bearing on it.
I’m gonna say it…we’re all thinking it…
You’re a weird guy, @Magnus.
Yeah, but he’s our weird guy.
In Bayern Space we trust
The impression Arne Slot left on Florian Wirtz was unlike anything he had experienced before. Throughout multiple Zoom meetings, Slot presented a clear and detailed vision, supported by extensive video material that even traced Wirtz’s development back to his early youth. He highlighted the progress Wirtz had already made, pointed out areas for further improvement, and laid out a well-structured plan for how he would be integrated into the team.
What resonated most was the tactical clarity. Wirtz was shown a defined role within a functioning system, giving him a strong sense of direction and purpose. The entire presentations, which were many, were described as highly professional and deeply thoughtful.
In contrast, the conversations he had with Vincent Kompany were said to be vague and left many questions unanswered. There was no clearly communicated role, no coherent system, and little tactical structure. The overall impression was that of uncertainty, which reportedly left Wirtz feeling confused and unimpressed.
Lesson for all the kids out there: preparation and mastering the PowerPoint matter.
Liverpool’s management, including coach Arne Slot, have been in contact with Florian Wirtz’s side for months - their interest was by no means a short-term one. Wirtz is said to have been hugely impressed by the atmosphere at Anfield when Leverkusen visited in November, the environment and the club itself, according to people close to the player - far more than he was impressed by a trip to Munich. Even though his father Hans is said to have favored a move to FC Bayern at some point, which is why belief in the transfer prevailed in Munich until a few days ago, Wirtz decided to join LFC for sporting reasons: they outlined a “masterplan” for him - highly professional, competetively appealing, extremely appreciative and, above all, absolutely focused on his development.

I am 100% convinced this was in the works for a long while and Mo/Virg knew. I am also convinced @Walshy07 knew.
I am also now convinced @PeachesEnRegalia was the only poster here who didn’t know.
Howling! I adore you.
I’ll be honest - the number of times you post these exact words make me think you’re some kind of korma-loving bot…
Like I said
Where is the lean??? Over 800 freaking posts, and there’s no lean.
799 of the posts were quality and then you happened to swing by
Leaning on Slot’s shoulder with a pat on his bald head for luck.
His recipes are crap.
Heard that ETH is being appointed as manager of Leverkusen.
No wonder Wirtz , Frimpong want to get out of there ASAP.
I feel bad if we are truly sending a player there in exchange
