Florian Wirtz

For that money you expect Haaland/Mbappe-like brand and influence on the game.

Curious if he warrants that hype. Only heard his name in passing but never really seen him play.

There is no way you just heard his name in passing, 99% of us wanted him for the past 2 years. He may not be in mbappe or halland brand, but he is bundesliga player of the year twice before he turned 22. In terms of pure attacking midfielder role, he is a premium player. Not sure why liverpool needs him though, they don't play with an AM, never played with one since coutinho.

I still think they can't compete, if real madrid really wanted the player, he would have joined them. Still bloody surprised why liverpool over us and bayern.

Maybe a bit premature, but I don't if Liverpool can pull this off

They only upped the bid by 4M????

This seems like Suarez to Arsenal in 2013. Player may want it but eventually does he get frustrated that they aren't meeting the asking price and just decide to stay in Leverkusen for another year and see what moves are out their after next year?

With my luck though we will have a "Here We Go" within the next 24 hours

They all know how ridiculous last season was and they need to go up 10 levels if they are going to compete next year.
 
So that's the record transfer broken on a Goalkeeper, a Defender and a Midfielder.

They've recently commited £800kpw to a 34 year old Salah and VVD too. Never let them tell you that they do things differently.

Wirtz is an incredible player but dropping £120m comes with so much risk. The scrutiny will be off the scale. I think he'll do well but they need better than Nunez upfront. Will also be interesting to see how he performs against low blocks rather than in Germany where there's more space in transition

They wont get scrutinised at all.

Imagine the reporting if roles were reversed and we’d spunked 120 mil and they’d got the bargain of the century!!
 
Huge pressure on Wirtz and the fee is probably too steep but I admit he would have been good for us. I still stick by our transfer policy.

Wonder what he’ll think in 2 years when Salah, VVD and Alisson all leave?
