Predicted that move a long time ago.
Everyone predicted it because there is something so obvious about the connection between Simeone and Nunez. That is precisely why the stories about it are likely bollocks.
Itâs the wannabe cage fighter energy
I love how as fans we want our players sold to places that offer ridiculous money, while completely forgetting that a player of 25, might still have some ambition.
We just need to find the Darwin Nunez of the pilot world to fly the private jet - they take off aiming for the goal of landing at Madrid airport (the pilot short haul equivalent of a tap in from 2 yards out) but end up inexplicably skewing it so far off target they arrive in Saudi Arabia
This is something that crossed my mind before, from what I saw and read, he could be an interesting target. Not necessarily someone who would join us immediately next season, but see if a loan there or elsewhere would be better.
I guess Cunhaâs disciplinary record rules us out of the move for him. But he could be someone playing in that hybrid 10/false 9 role that we seem to want Wirtz.
How about we just try and buy Wirtz?
Of course it isnât. Itâs moving red dots around on a computer screen.
At least that is how it seems on Football Manager
Whats an aubergine emoji?
Or do you mean and eggplant emoji?
A tweet from Plettenberg in the Twitter rumours thread linking Elliot away.
Was saying to mates the other day but if Wirtz is leaving Bayer, Elliot going there as his replacement might be a perfect solution for EVERYONE.
Elliot plus 50m would be brill
Elliott isnât worth ÂŁ70m.
indeed. It would be brill though
I canât stand them, but with Alonso going to Real Madrid, they might have their own ambition for Wirtz. They are late to the party, but if Alonso wants the player, itâs not hard to see something like Guler going to Leverkusen, plus cash, for Wirtz.
Similar to the Elliott plus cash deal proposed above.
Obviously Real Madrid are a bit top heavy and they need to find better balance, but Alonso might have in mind a couple of surprising subtractions, and Wirtz could be an addition he wants to make.
Ugh. I should stop with this thought. I have told myself Wirtz is between us and Bayern, and we have a chance.
GĂźler is way too good for Leverkusen.
Real seem to have retreated on this one and the player is likely to want it done before the internationals, so probably in the next week or so.
Silly season, indeed.
I think itâs time for you to take a few months off in the middle of nowhere with no InternetâŚ
If GĂźler is leaving Madrid, we should be at the front of that queue.
