With Liverpool breaking a British transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz, fans are rejoicing at The Reds punching their weight in the market….

Liverpool’s signing of Florian Wirtz has set a new British transfer record!

The last time we broke the record was in 1995 when Stan Collymore signed from Nottingham Forest for an astonishing £8.5m.

What’s really astonishing is just how many of the big-fee players struggled after their dream move – Grealish, Kepa, Morata, Hazard, Nicolas Pepe and pretty much the majority of Manchester United signings since 2014 must have wondered if it was worth it for anything other than financial reasons.

With Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and probably Milos Kerkez in the bag along with securing Mo and Virgil and the new reserve keeper, we’re clearly looking at the big prizes with a real sense of optimism rather than a pipe dream.
