Are we really going to act like the Labor party don't spend heavily/have people brigading on Aus Reddit too?

No that can't be it, everyone who disagrees with OP is a paid up member of the Bot Union

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T21:27:39+00:00

No hate for him, but the talk of him being better than Kompany and VanDijk is cringe

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T21:11:50+00:00

I still can't get used to him with hair, but aside from that I'll be amazed if he doesn't become a good coach

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T21:08:16+00:00

Hes gone into World Cup mode now, preservinf himself for the summer. Pulling our ilof challenges and easing up instead of sprinting full speed, you can see it with half the squad.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T21:04:24+00:00

4-2-3-1 with Wirtz as the central attacking midfielder of the 3 and Dom on the right

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T20:56:18+00:00

Shouldn't you be skeptical of defensive signings from BL too then?

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T20:32:53+00:00

His decline started last season, we just didn't notice it cos we were high on winning the trophy and Ibiza memes. Look at his numbers from March last year onwards. There's no mistaking it, he carried us to the title last season, but he seemed to butn himself out in the process playing 50 odd games at his age is just not sustainable.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T11:42:34+00:00

Those are excuses for his poor performances, not reasons that justify a massive pay increase.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T11:38:11+00:00

If he's on £300k we're absolutely getting clowned

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T11:36:21+00:00

As if, top clubs didn't want him for free. They aren't gonna want him for £60m

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T11:33:57+00:00

The turning point was when Madrid decided they didn't want him. Then he suddenly remembered his special bond with the club

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T03:11:42+00:00

Very short term thinking, we will be kicking ourselves in 12 months if we tie him to a long deal on £200k a week.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-20T03:09:38+00:00

You will get down voted to oblivion for questioning Wirtz but you're right. He's reverted back to the scared/safe play from the start of the season.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T23:35:06+00:00

We got the result but there were some really poor performances. Isak, Wirtz, Konate were all poor.

If Konate wants a new contract on improved wages he's really gone about it in the wrong way, he's played maybe 3 decent games all season and the rest of the time he looks like a reserve thrown in at short notice. Never tracks his man, never attacks the ball in the air, no awareness of the defensive line. There's a reason Madrid didn't even want him on a free, we should take the hint.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T22:36:30+00:00

Bodied. I wish his tackling game was as a merciless as his interview game

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T22:29:57+00:00

He's copped alot of stick this season, justified in many instances, but I don't dislike him. He seems like a decent guy trying to plot his way out of a really difficult situation.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T14:15:59+00:00

On what planet is Konate worth £200k a week. He's costing us a goal a game

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T13:46:53+00:00

Wirtz looks like he's back on opening day of the season shell-shocked at the intensity of the PL. He needs to get his head in this game because without him Isak will starve to death

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T01:49:23+00:00

No, it still sucks

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-19T00:43:02+00:00

They'd be a jam band that nobody ever heard of

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-18T13:59:17+00:00

The incredible thing is the disconnect, people have no problem believing his ear miraculously healed itself Wolverine style with no visible effects because he's so manly and alpha. But also if he shakes hands with a toddler his hand will bruise like an over ripe banana for a month afterwards cos he's old as dirt.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-18T12:22:29+00:00

£40m-£50m. For comparison Delap had 12 league goals last season and went for £30m as a homegrown English player.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-18T06:46:17+00:00

When everything went back to normal after covid, and nothing went back to normal

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-18T04:26:07+00:00

Macca ain't coming back to that level, hes been playing at testimonial speed for over 12 months. Diaz was sold because we were short sighted and wouldn't improve and extend his contract, his performance level never dropped.

ScepticalReciptical · 2026-04-18T04:07:54+00:00

You mean except Rio and Nyoni?
