    But that’s exactly the point mate. He looks good in International football and in the Bundesliga but completely anonymous in the ultra competitive English Premier League.
    I very much doubt there is anything whatsoever in the link anyway, FSG would want their money back and having seen a full Premier League season of him, no one in England would pay half that.

    Given that FSG haven't and aren't looking like they'll get rid of Slot, I'd say that the only way they get rid of Wirtz after just one season is if another club are prepared to pay what we shelled out for him, if not actually pay more than that.

    Irrespective of what players join or leave us this summer, whilst Slot and Hedwards are at the club we're going to struggle to even qualify for the following season's CL.

    I'd sell Wirzt. immediately, we work better with a proper 3 in midfield.

    Fernandez wants out of Chelsea, according to reports, for roughly what Wirtz cost.

    Barcelona have agreed a deal worth more than Ł69m with Newcastle United for England forward Anthony Gordon.

    What summed up Wirzt for me at the weekend. He came on, off the bench. About 2 minutes in.. our forward had 2 players around him, Wirzt was about 6 feet away from him and instead of holding the ball up. he did a little up and under ball to the forward. and of course the forward lost out.. bizarre attempt at a pass. But hey hes Wirzt so it appeared clever and hes world class.

    Anyway he may play better at Chelsea if he gets sold (he won't though) with 3 at the back system. like at Leverkusen,
    but Bayern Leverkusen.. often conceded 2 goals a game and won in the last minute 3-2, they won numerous games like that.

    I want us to play more possession and be less likely to get countered. and with natural 3 in there you have more of chance of defending a break.. playing Wirzt in there you basically have 2 midfielders.

    Fucks everything up. means your fullbacks have less chance of sprinting forward., we play better with 3 natural midfielders.

    Rumours of a swap with Fernandez.

    99% likely to be just click bait bollix

    Hopefully. Probably from Chelsea sources. I think we should sell Wirzt and get back close to the 100 million we paid out
    It's not an 112 million, To trigger that, he needed to win 4 major trophies with us,, Ie 2 leagues and 2 champions league, or a combination of the 4.
    Never happen with him in the team.. I see people, questioning perhaps the departure of Jones as well. Like it's some crime. Hes been kind of a regular for 3/4 seasons now. and not improved consistently at all . one good game and one bad.
    He will be no loss either.
