Florian Wirtz (AM) Bayer Leverkusen

It might be a concern that the FA and the media will start bullying us to a greater degree than the current state if our regular starting team has 0 English player for the first time (I mean English specifically not homegrown in general).

Doesn’t matter as long we we are within the rules re what the FA (or PL or whoever governs it) set out. Media bullying can be easily ignored.

Even if Harvey goes, we still have Curtis, Quansah and Joe Gomez in first team that are English. Harvey Davies looks to be No.3 this year.

Also, it’s not a new thing - Chelsea fielded a full eleven without a single English player as far back as 1999.

It doesn’t feel like squad size is what’s held Slot back from rotating more, honestly.

It’s been pretty clear over the last several years that FSG was willing to sanction major purchases, but only for exceptional talents. World record CB purchase in Van Dijk. World record GK purchase in Alisson. Reported pursuits of Mbappé, Bellingham, and Caicedo. And now Wirtz.

Haven’t had the chance to watch yet, but Clery’s stuff is usually excellent:

Yes.

Was on holiday in Turkey with my parents when he went. I had spent half of that summer writing out our possible teams if we signed the players I wanted.

The only ones I remember are Sutton and Tim Flowers.

TIL Paul Joyce is an actual human man with a real voice and not just a concept we as the Liverpool fanbase collectively made up as the god tier source of any information transfer related.

I must admit I have never watched any of this guys videos but this video is mind boggling, all the tiny doubts at the back of my mind about this transfer have disappeared in fact I have got carried away and decided we don’t need a CF anymore. As long as Wirtz is not played against Everton we will be OK.

Adam Clery does a great job. Been watching his stuff for a while. He’s a Newcastle fan but not partisan, and will say what he sees and bring the analysis. He’s all-in on Wirtz.
