Honestly, I don't believe he's worth the transfer fee, despite the respect I have for him as a player.“I think some players suffer because of the deals between clubs. If you asked him, he'd probably say he isn't worth that money, but it's the reality.“He arrives at Liverpool with this price tag and has to deliver from the first game.

But that's how it is, he has to stand up and meet expectations.“I understand it will take time for him to adapt his style to the Premier League. He's talented, so I believe he will succeed, but he'll need more games and a better understanding with his teammates.“The Premier League is not the Bundesliga, and Liverpool plays differently than Leverkusen.”While Petit might be confident that Wirtz will overcome his slow start and come good for Liverpool, former Man City and Everton star Joleon Lescott recently claimed he believed that the Reds would already happily sell the German if they would get their money back."I'm not convinced," said Lescott, speaking on In The Mixer, brought to you by Sky Bet.

And for me, it was the Burnley game."I'm like, if you're an attacking player, forget the fee and we need a goal, I shouldn't be taking you off. You should be the guy that then hopefully creates the opportunity."I think I should have seen something that would make me go, 'Right, good, I'm gonna see that again.' Just like a moment in a game.
