The Butcher Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Left footed CB. Nah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Not sure how realistic but Wirtz would be the ideal target to go all out for IMO. Just got round the seeing clips of him and looks like he could be the outstanding technical player of his generation. Given Leverkusen won't be making CL he may be available. Usually Munich would be the likely destination but they've Musiala who's very similar. If we get CL we'd be a step up for him and he's still young enough that he could do 4/5 yrs and then have the option of moving to an elite club if we're not there by then.

Both his father/agent, and himself have said that he wants stay at least another year. Guess it depends if Leverkusen want or need to sell him, and also if Alonso stays or not. Contracted until 2027 so he’d go for a decent sum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It sounds like Leverkusen are more likely to cash in on Diaby, rather than Wirtz at this moment in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 He'd break our wage structure but would Cancelo be realistic if we got Champions League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) He's 29 at the end of the month but could we not play him as a left back? He was great there for City Doesn't strike me as someone we'd target Edited May 11, 2023 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Great player but character would have question marks to me, ie. whether he would fit in with the squad. He’s openly admitted to being a loner and not being part of things at Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Trippier's 33 in a few months. Can see us signing a new purple RB next summer, but I don't think that'll be Cancelo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Just now, Manxst said: Wages would be an issue for them, surely? I think City are going to have come to an agreement on wages with any club that wants Cancelo ultimately. I can’t think of a club that could afford those wages outright and / or need him. Spurs maybe, at a guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Cancelo is famously bad craic if he's not getting his own way. That and he's peaked would be an absolute no go for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Spurs apparently may not be taking up their option on Kulusevski. Seems an odd one but for €35m he’d be a decent option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a great fit teaming up alongside his fellow Swede Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 He's never been a regular first choice, Lamptey, has he? Aside from a worldie performance against us under that fat sack of kebab-eating shit, he's not been especially noticeable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintdempsey Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Kulusevski for the price mentioned (30-35 million?) would be a great buy. PL proven, good attitude, friend of Isak’s, will run all day with great energy levels and potential to hit double figures in both goals and assists. Think he’d fit in a Eddie Howe team perfectly.

I'm actually desperate for this to happen now His profile is so well suited to Howe's style. Think Spurs haven't got anywhere near the best of him due to the way they setup.
