It’s unlikely we want both players, but you never know. Either way, without the Wirtz deal being nailed down yet, exploring contingency plans seems prudent.
Wirtz is probably number one and we will probably close that deal. I hope so, as the more I’ve looked into the player the more excited it seems.
If Cherki is a fall back option - and I thought he was going to Man City? - I will be slightly disappointed, but I will remind myself of the second choice players who came here and were brilliant.
One other possibility is that we don’t have the money to buy Wirtz and a number 9. Diaz might be signing a new deal, and there are no bites for Darwin at a Saudi-level, as yet. So if we really want, say, Ekitike (assuming he hasn’t gone to Chelsea) maybe it is Ekitike and Cherki; rather than Wirtz, for the same sort of money?
Obviously we don’t know what is going on in detail, until it’s done. Just speculating, like everyone else!
line than you can’ thread.
