This Liverpool love-in puff piece will have you retching a little.  Maybe Lahm might ask why Liverpool can comfortably overpay for 'sure thing' players rather than proclaim their supposed genius for doing so?

I'm sure if Newcastle had overpaid for Wirtz and Liverpool had got Woltemade instead we'd just hear about Liverpool's canny knack for opting for future stars etc.

 

Bag of shite.

 

 

 


Worst bit of writing I’ve had the misfortune to read by a native German speaker since Mein Kampf.

Lahm:

 

The €85m (£73.5m) that Newcastle are paying for Woltemade is therefore a gamble.

 

The owners from Saudi Arabia and the club’s management are new to the business. In a gold rush atmosphere, mistakes are made and miracles are believed in.

 

Someone should tell Mr. Lahm that Liverpool just forked out a record £130 million for our previous striker who we supposedly bought in this gold rush atmosphere of mistakes and hopeful miracles.

 

Embarrassing article. Especially with how poorly Wirtz has started, while Woltemade has come straight in and scored in his first game [emoji38]

Transfermarkt has Woltemade at €75m. I've heard £65+4m is the right price, and not £73.5m? Where did he get that price from?

Yeah, he's not even got the fee right in his article.

 

The whole article screams of trying hard to push an agenda.. I wonder why he was so depserate to do that. Claiming that a €125m signing from Bundes is not a gamble.. So many wild claims in there.[emoji38]

Always preferred Toni Kroos and 1860 Munich.

Completely random but when I went to Munich the majority of people I spoke to supported 1860. Bayern must be another Liverpool etc with plastic fans.

Silva dominated this league. Santi Cazorla played CM in a more physical era. So far Wirtz just doesn’t have the minerals. 

Yeah, you're talking about players from from 6/7 years ago. The game's changed a lot since then. 

Also I would argue the pace and physicality of the league is more than when santi played. 

 

You just have to look at Peps barca team and the treble man city team to see that this league doesnt suit small nibble players in the middle of the park, but out wide. Silva, foden etc.

Hard not to be when you're as dominant as they are I suppose. Shame 1860 fell off massively after mid 2000s, need to make a comeback. Similar experience for me, lots more visible sightings of 1860 gear than any Bayern stuff, though it was a few years back now.

Aye, PSR’s a right ‘gold rush’, so it is.

 

Newcastle can spend what they want, know your place ‘Newcastle’, etc., etc.

 

Just do some basic research before putting pen to paper.

its not much of a gamble is it though, one thing about the premier league is theres lots of bloody money. It would be very annoying if he's a flop but if hes rubbish we can probably sell him and lose £30m on him at worst case, and crazy as it is probably something we can absorb. The bigger gambles are big wages and long contracts for aging players whose values are going to plummet, or when you give players huge wages that very few clubs could ever come close to, which we don't (hence losing Isak I guess)

The best thing about this transfer so far is how happy the guy is having joined.

 

You can see that he really appreciates that the club believed in his ability, and there's a lot he has to work with and mould further, and he has the attitude to commit to getting even better.

 

With Newcastle we have to put ourselves in position to be able to make an earlier call on talented players, before the more established clubs are willing to go all in, and that's what we've done here.

 

I actually like that he was somewhat unheralded and under the radar when he was younger. It's likely to mean less of an ego and a Newcastle as a stepping stone mentality, like a certain someone that recently left.

It’s definitely easier now for small players in this league than in previous eras. Far more protection from the referees. 
 

Damsgaard isn’t elite and has no physicality and is able to get his game off in this era.  8 years ago Cattermole would’ve booted him out of a lot of games. Wirtz has no excuse.

It's funny because we didn't believe in miracles when we got taken over, but it actually did happen. Went from relegation battle to CL in 2 years in a PSR world. I don't think anyone even imagined that. Then another CL plus a trophy two years after that, with half the spending of some of the sky 6 teams. I'd be interested in hearing what the mistakes were.

 

Probably just the common lazy strawman that Newcastle fans believe we're going to win the league really soon just because we can spend more than the likes of Everton..

Literally the one thing that can't be argued against post takeover is their hit rate with transfers, every major signing has been a success. In fact I'd argue the only signing full stop that hasn't worked out is Targett, and that was after a successful loan.
