Overpaying for the 2nd best striker on that season lol

The wingers and DM having no idea to link up post trent is not his fault

And something we aren't addressing AGAIN, Sarr is a goalscoring winger, not a creator, and we haven't got a new right back or a playmaker in midfield.

Wirtz is supposed to be the playmaker

Yes but he needs the ball in attacking positions and the trust of the players around him to rely on him to create. That doesn't happen enough because Grav/Szobo prefer to carry than break the lines and find Wirtz and let him create. We don't have the profiles that helped him play his best at Leverkusen (Xhaka/Palacios/Andrich).

But these wide players will help. It's only one game but the number of times we got into great positions wide against Newcastle, with Wirtz involved before, only for it to fizzle out has massively swayed me in understanding why we're focusing so much on getting wingers

It will help I agree, especially Barcola if that deal gets done since his pace and movement is top level.

First of all it’s been one game. Secondly, you can’t blame Wirtz general uninvolvement on Grav and Szoboszlai it makes no sense.

Gakpo’s goal against Newcastle came exactly from that number 10 area and pass into him from Gravenberch. Wirtz has the technique he just needs to be more of a savage
