Florian Wirtz

Even though I don’t believe for a second that we’re out of this, how the hell do we just let him join Liverpool?
 
Don’t worry we’ll get someone better as our KdB replacement , and by better I mean slightly worse, way cheaper, wanted by no top teams and won’t even make the matchday squad in next seasons bigger games.
 
Wouldn’t call them garbage mate just not the quality of player if you are looking to be consistent and challenging for the league and champions league,more like just below top 6-8 ..
Fair enough not garbage but for a 6th to 10th team. We were and are wanting to be (i presume) one of best clubs in world. These past signings doesn't suggest that and thats why we are where we are
 
Simons, Akliouche, Sanchet, Trincao, Millot i think have all been linked by decent enough places, assume they all in with a shout from here.
Simons should be the only option. Akliouche is best when coming from right. Haven’t seen Sanchet play but his stats are very good. Millot is definitely not good enough. Trincao is also someone who would thrive as a 8 than a 10.
not many options out there
 
Its very disappointing. Hes the one player we had a chance of signing this summer who really has that world class potential. We are now stuck with second level players who might turn out decent signings but won't be game changing signings.

Was thinking earlier how big the drop off is currently with this squad. Now KDB is leaving, who out of this current squad could we describe as absolute elite? Rodri absolutely pre ACL, Haaland (that is being questioned a lot by many people), Foden if he can get back to last years form, Ruben maybe. Thats about it. The next David Silva, KDB, Yaya is nowhere to be seen. Sadly Wirtz was a big chance to set us up for the next 6/7 years and we've missed out again.
1. We have no idea if he would have been a success for us (and probably never will). He would face completely different challenges with us than in the German league. A very good player but there are no guarantees, as with all signings.

2. We tried but he obviously didn't want to come, so not much we can do about that. Not every player will choose us.

3. We'll move on and make other signings. There's plenty of time for that.
