Once this guy gets going, it's over.

Clearly you have never seen him play at Leverkusen.Haha they are soooooooo desperate for him to be a thing.
But the truth is he is more likely to be the new Barca Coutinho, than the new Liverpool Coutinho.
It's evident through the ridiculous overrating of his 6 out of 10 performances that Liverpool fans are shitting their pants at the 280m they spent on Wirtz and Isak.
Soon as Isak stops farting in the wrong direction they will label him the new Messiah as well.
Deep down they know they have overpayed by at least 100m for the pair of them, even in the best case scenario
People would be having aneurysms up in here if we spent 150m on this guy. Especially since he is coming in to replace a 70m signing from last season who improved consistently throughout the season. ( Sboz ).
Shades of our Olmo transfer when you have Fermin sitting there.
At best, Wirtz has a slightly better season than Sboz. But he ain't replicating what he did in the Buli, up in the Prem.
At worst, he struggles in making the step up and with the pace of the league.
At 150m, you'd expect a signing to have an instant effect in bridging the gap in the Champions League. But he definitely won't do that. His movements on the ball are too slow. He needs that extra second on the ball. He is too easy to shut down if you give him attention.
All in all, a bit of a bizarre transfer.
That's funny, because Klopp is an expert in eating his own words.
