This was just a down year for city, you can only keep it going for so long,. doubt olmo would have made a difference

I don't remember many clubs being linked with him over the years bar us.

The fact that when he does come back, he doesn't need a long ramp up to find form, means I don't have such a big issue with his injuries.

If it gets worse then obviously that changes but that would guarantee he doesn't leave

Wirtz is a fantastic player, and the fee will be fantastic too. Wonder how much Bayer will get for him in the end.

Depends on how desperate Man City are and if Wirtz is willing to join them and use them a stepping stone.
He's said on multiple occasions that he want to play in Spain after a few years, or at least it's been reported extensively.

Wirtz replacing Olmo in five years :flick:

Reports this week have been he wants Real Madrid and his dad wants him to go to Bayern.

For Real it feels like another attacking player to fit in though when have Bellingham whos best position by far is AM when team is settled.

Real Madrid will probably be his preference if they are interested right now, but Madrid media have been reporting that they might not spend much money this summer.
They probably have some issues of their own after losing out on all the concerts they were due to hold last and this year with the soundproofing issue they have.

Madrid should be honest with themselves and realize they need another Kross and Modric. Cama/Tchou couldn't control a television.

Their best little run this season came when Dani Ceballos was on form.

Who would they sign for that role though? Is there even anyone that can help with that? Seems like Zubimendi is more likely to join Arsenal and he's the only player they were linked with.

Wirtz isn't that kind of player though, olmo could replace either more so than him, because you can see olmo playing just as well in a 433, as he does playing 10.

Wirtz I don't think has that, it would be a wirtz or Bellingham thing and of course you choose wirtz in that comparison

Valverde cant control midfield either.

He needs to be allowed to move and is better when freedom to head to right hand side than centre midfield.

Reports are Chelsea will use the WCC window to get Huijsen ahead of Madrid. So seems Madrid's money is being well calculated for now.

Flo will try and go for one big name though. Wouldn't surprise me if it's Wirtz with Xabi and adding to their imbalance.

Latest I read is Bayer have set a 200m ask. He will go for well below that obviously, but seeing what Dortmund made the forum clubs pay for Dembele, Bellingham (more than Madrid media published) and Sancho, it makes sense for the that ask.

No top team are playing 433 any time soon.

And yesterday the argument was 433 with Gavi/Pedri and a DM which puts Olmo out the team.

Not happening.

"Xavi"

freudian slip, admit it you loved the work Xavi did.

If Madrid are smart they would break the bank for one of newcastle's midfielders.

Bruno or Tonali beside valverde would work every well.
