I don't wanna slag the guy off too much - he's never done anything to me, and he has lots of talent. But he does seem like the latest hipster wonderkid hyped out of all proportion in this current modern football climate. Some might say the same about Lamine, but as an experienced long-time football watcher it is clear Lamine is a couple of levels above this lad.
Every time I have watched Wirtz he hasn't looked that special. I tend to watch his bigger games too so that makes me raise my eyebrows. He's still young and a quality player so I don't wanna write the boy off, but spending so much on one player rarely proves successful. They could have got two really really good players for that money. I never think it's good to spend THAT much on one player. What if he doesn't settle or worse, gets injured in the first game and is out for the season? I always think it's better to spread that sort of money around the team. Rather than put eggs in a basket. In saying that, apparently they still want and have money for more signings anyway.
Yes, amortisation and everything, they have cash to spend etc, but still.
