Florian Wirtz - Welcome to LFC

[SB]

That’s what all gossips say lol

[Angryred]

Wirtz is gonna have a whale of a time with superstars all around him, easily better than the current German national team too!!

Apologies in advance for the reference as most of us have repressed the memories but in the 92/93 season united had Hughes and McClair up front, Robson and Phelan behind them, Giggs and Sharp or Kanchelskis on the wings. They were going well in the league but were nothing special. They were functional. Then they signed Cantona in November 92 and won the league by 10 points. He knitted their play together and took them up several levels as a team. I've got a feeling that Wirtz is going to have a similar impact on us. I think he's going to link up play in a way that lifts the whole team to new heights.

Have a feeling you will be proven right. Fully expect Wirtz, once he is settled in, to have as much impact on how our attack works as Alisson and VVD did for our defence.

Wirtz is German for essential cog

Good knowledge. I can barely remember that I was alive that year. It was my first year at Uni though..

That would be Wurtz. And I really don't want to think of a German sausage playing through our middle, thank you.

Who brought this up, what a muppet

No idea

I had to check who the players were but I remembered the “oh f*ck” moment when I saw what Cantona had done to them. They’d gone close to winning the title the previous year but Leeds pipped them. They were top or thereabouts but not playing especially well. Then he joined them and the rest is horrible horrible history.

Indeed. I think there was a rumour, or legend that we were in for Cantona at the time. Perhaps I dreamt that.

Souness said he was coffered the opportunity to buy him before he joined Leeds but turned it down

Great player, legend. **** manager, for us anyway.
