Craig’s Column: I’m Starting To Fear Liverpool Have Made A £116m Mistake

I’ve Defended Florian Wirtz, But Liverpool Can’t Keep Waiting Forever I’ve spent a lot of time defending Florian Wirtz since he arrived at Liverpool, and I don’t regret doing that.

I wanted him to succeed from the moment we signed him, and I still do. But after Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, I’ve reached a point where I need to challenge my own thinking.

Am I being too stubborn? Am I making excuses because I desperately want this transfer to work? Would I show the same patience if Liverpool had paid £30 million for him rather than £116 million?
