At FC Bayern they were very annoyed that he had extended his contract until 2027. FC Bayern really wants the player, but the new contract makes him very expensive. Leverkusen doesn't want to sell him for less than €100m-€120m. This is also difficult for FC Bayern. A good player would have to be sold for this. If FC Bayern does not agree on a new contract with Leroy Sané, that would open a door for Wirtz in Munich. The player would like to take the next step in the Bundesliga. This means for the Premier League clubs that he is probably not ready for them yet. Bayern would like to bring him in later so that he would be cheaper then. But if another club becomes interested in Wirtz, Bayern would have to act. Hope we're in the running for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched every minute of pro football he has played, and a little at youth level. The very day he was allowed to play for Copenhagen (16 in Denmark) he was playing regular football for the team. He's an exceptional talent, great technique and shot. But also not the speed you would ideally want. That is his major downside imo, he's not slow, but he sure isn't quick either. In my opinion, he's not ready for a club like Chelsea at all yet, not even with Chelsea's current status. But he's also only just turned 18. So if this is a case of signing him and loaning him out for a season or two, I could very much see it being a success. He doesn't seem to let the occasion get to him, ever (like rabona penalty to get through to CL group stages...), and he's extremely ambitious. Not long ago he scored the decider against United, but also came in for the biggest derby in Denmark, and scored two goals to decide it in Copenhagen favour (was 1-0 before he came in, ended up 1-2).

He is not slow per se but needs ages to get going, not very agile. If true this would however mean we target experienced players which I appreciate. I just wish we would do so in midfield as well bigbluewillie and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,278 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 If we buy Cherki, Tah, and other middling turds, I am probably OUT. Boehly can fuck off. The club will be destroyed if we continue on the arc we are. And the charges from the FA will come soon. We already have far too many players I do not like, and did not like before they came. We start adding more in, I will eventually fucking snap. Disasterclass scouting team for closing in on ten years. Horrific shit buy after horrific shit buy, so many of them extraordinarily expensive. It is just madness. I am utterly ashamed to say even I got drawn into the hype and had dreams of a new paradigm, when in reality it was an incoming nightmare.

Sanchez ain't wc but I rather him then those two. Jorginho and Kova where in decline it was right to sell him. Enzo and Caicedo will come good, and Lavia we can't judge as he has been injured. Kante obviously wc, no replacing him. Sanchez's distribution is disasterclass. Edited December 8, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHulk 2,509 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Thankfully the board was kind enough to insert a sell on fee on Sanchez as well to help poor Brighton make some more money on this dud. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
