Anyone know much about him ? He's class. Just come back from a long term injury and still looks really sharp. Always sceptical of players who come from the Bundesliga but he's really talented.

The Prophet Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Just now, SUPERTOON said: What position does he play ? He's an attacking midfielder/false ten/second striker type. Can play wide right too. Recently though he's either played between the strikers in a 3-4-1-2 or up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to finding a way if we signed Maddison, I think they are similar ilk of player. Cheaper alternative might be Dominic Szoboszlai who I think is fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he really THAT good a prospect? Also is it not quite likely we were there to watch Diaby, anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s incredible and has a long contract, would take a lot and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s close to 100m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know much about him ? Half of Europe are scouting him- Real, Bayern, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City etc etc. His contract isn’t up until 2026 I think, so will be mega money if he moves in the meantime. He’s also previously mentioned wanting to play for Barca when he leaves Leverkusen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 From the article: “Even without Champions League football, Newcastle are going to be ambitious in their recruitment drive with players such as James Maddison, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Ivan Toney, Kaoru Mitoma, Kavlin Phillips, Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice being discussed, along with the likes of Scott McTominay, Harvey Barnes and Kieran Tierney. There are also several players currently playing abroad who are attracting firm interest, with Borussia Monchengladbach’s Marcus Thuram, Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga, Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby and Napoli pair Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia admired.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I mean, I'm sure if we finish top four there'll be some significant alteration possible. Man, could you imagine if the summer got here and we went out and brought in Kvaratskhelia, Diaby, Rice, Maddison and Alphonso Davies to beef up the first team. Maybe added João Pedro and a couple of other young lads to give us a bit of depth. I genuinely think we'd have issues with members of the forum wanking themselves to death before the new season even gets here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Wirtz is bad vibes. He went through the youth system at Koln and then fucked them off for nowt when he could get a pro deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
