If Liverpool can really spend 100 million to buy an offensive player, it is better to buy Isak than to buy Wiltz

Times team reporter Joyce wrote an article reporting on Liverpool's latest signings against Flynn Poon and his position on the competition for Wiltz.

1. I will summarize, interpret and highlight the full text as follows, and briefly talk about my views:

1: About Flynnpool: The players have already agreed, it depends on when Liverpool will activate the termination clause, and this time is expected to be after this Saturday at the earliest.

Everyone says that Flynn Ponte's termination fee of 35 million to 40 million euros is cheap, but do you realize that we are all keeping pace with the times without knowing it. Before this, Liverpool also bought a good and low-cost main full-back, Robertson. His transfer fee for joining Liverpool was 8 million pounds, which was in 2017. After 8 years, the prices and market conditions in the transfer market are no longer the same. We thought it was cheap to buy a fullback at £8 million, but now we think it is cheap to buy a fullback at £30 million.

2: About Wilz: After the rumors broke, Liverpool did not cut down trees! I did not deny that I intended to introduce Wilz, which left room for operation and imagination, and at the same time put forward a position of "advance can be attacked and retreat can be defended": If you want to come, I welcome you; if you don't want to come, I won't force you.

For Wierz, my opinion is that if Liverpool really wants to spend 100 million pounds to buy an offensive player, it is better to buy Wierz than to buy Isaac (or other good center). First, it solves the problem of center and scoring in front of the goal, and second, it avoids the problem of players adapting to the Premier League. Previously, when I looked forward to Liverpool's summer window this year, I listed a priority for signings at each position, the No. 9 position belongs to the first priority and the No. 10 position belongs to the third priority.

Of course, we don't really believe that Liverpool can spend 100 million to buy a player. But I believe that day will come sooner or later.

2. The following are the key points of Joyce's original text:

1. About Flynn Pointe:

--Liverpool is expected to contact Leverkusen to officially activate Flynn Pointe's termination clause of about 30 million pounds, thus making the Dutch international the first signing this summer.

--Leverkusen will complete the last round of the Bundesliga this weekend (starting at 21:30 this Saturday). The official contact between Liverpool and Leverkusen will begin after this. Liverpool is unlikely to disturb Leverkusen's preparations, which is a disrespect.

--Liverpool has discussed personal terms with Flynn Poon, and the player is very eager to come to Liverpool.

--What attracts Liverpool the most is his versatility and relatively low termination fees.

-Flynnon played right wingback at Leverkusen, but served as the right forward in the 4231 formation in the Dutch national team's UEFA European League match against Spain in March this year. When he was with the Celtics in his early years, he also played as a traditional right-back in the four-back formation.

--Flynn Ponte has been training in Manchester City from 2010 to 2019, which gives him the status of a "household account" in the Premier League - a local youth training player.

-For Bradley, the club believes he has the qualities to thrive at the right-back position, and the medical and performance department will develop a plan to help the 21-year-old Northern Ireland international overcome the physical issues that often affect his appearance this season.

--Gomez, Kunsa, and Jones have all played right-backs, but if Flynnon joins, it will give Slot more choices.

2. About Wilz

--Liverpool is also interested in Flynn Pont's teammate Wilz in Leverkusen. Liverpool has been visiting Wilz for several years. If he wants to come to the Premier League this summer, Liverpool will do his best to compete for the attacking midfielder.

--Wilz has directly participated in 69 goals in 93 games for Leverkusen in the last two seasons, and its appeal to Liverpool is obvious. Manchester City and Bayern have also coveted him for a long time.

-The feeling inside Liverpool is that the 22-year-old German international will choose to stay in Leverkusen this summer or transfer to Bayern for more than 100 million euros (about 85 million pounds). However, if he chooses to leave the Bundesliga, Liverpool will join the scramble.

-This summer has the potential to be a busy summer for Liverpool, depending on whether players who want more playing time leave the team for this.
