Wirtz no 7 then.

I think Ornstein counted bonuses as well, right?

I would assume add ons? Feel like the Quansah fee on that screenshot is low, so must be the initial fee rather than what they’ll pay assuming he develops alright

Expect he’ll have a Mane style experience in Munich with his lederhosen and stein teammates.

Just about my favourite player over the last 3 seasons. Not sure how all of this has come about, just a case of wanting a final big contract or something more to it? All a bit disappointing in the end.

It was inevitable he would be sold with all the noise over the years through his father, who essentially tried to hold us to ransom.

It’s good business.
Thank you, Lucho. You had the coolest song.
YNWA!
He’s gone then.

In an ideal world we would buy a couple of players to strengthen a squad that had just walked the league so only time will tell what effect the wholesale changes will have.
I think we’re short of a top-class CB, a midfielder and a forward. If Nunez and Chiesa go that leaves us with Gakpo, Salah and Ekitite so we’ll be 2 or 3 light up front depending on how Wirtz fits in.
I’m intrigued to see what happens with Elliott and Endo. I think Elliott will go but will Endo play more or just warm the bench all season again?
The CB situation worries me more than anything. I hope were not thinking of using Endo, Gravenberch and Robbo as emergency CB’s.

I see Elliot staying if we don’t get a suitable offer in for him.
Much depends on the formation that we are using though.
That may be the case. He can keep the bench warm with Endo again while the other mids get run into the ground.
If we are playing with 4 midfielders , we need Elliot there.
AS clearly didn’t fancy him last season. What’s changed? If he’s not going to be a potential starter it’s pointless him being here.
He looked very good in preseason. Just unlucky to get the injury at that time. We’ve got Endo as cover for Grav , Curtis as cover for Mac. If we are playing 4 midfielders , we’d need Elliot as a cover for either of Wirtz or Soboszlai.
The caveat being, If we are looking at 4 midfielders in the center , which we have done at times in the last season. I do think Slot’s more flexible in his formations rather than someone who’s fixed on 4-3-3 or the 4-2-3-1.
Not everyone’s in the team to be a potential starter. But if what Elliot’s offering isn’t that much of a step down from what Dom’s offering for instance. All the better to keep him.
Elliot is worth keeping if he will get more game time then he was getting in the second half of last season. I’m discounting the start of the season because of injury. How likely he is to get more game time this season is hard to judge when exactly where Wirtz will fit into the team isn’t known for sure. If he won’t get played more then before though, for his own good it’s worth considering moving him on.
The German football magazine ‘kicker’ believes that an agreement has been reached between Luis Diaz and that stupid club from the Bavarian capital. Unfortunately.
If he really did move to Munich, he would be finished in my eyes (as we say here in Germany).
