That headline is from when he joined Madrid, at which stage he was already an "established star"
Yeah, I get that, just drawing further parallels
Oh no. We could have really made use of his physical presence against a Sean Dyche side this weekend...
Me too!Holding onto this thought
Going to put it out here: how different would this season have been if we'd spent a Premier League record fee on McTominay instead of Wirtz? Perennial Ballon d'Or talent in our midfield.
That's a really odd proposition.
Still shit. We don't need that profile of player and whilst he was underrated during his time in the PL, he's not as good as Serie A makes him out to be.
I'm just engagement farming here. But I'm too lazy to commit to the bit.

Probably the first full game where I felt he really made the difference. This is more like the player I saw for Leverkusen in the CL. Impactful on the ball all over the pitch, strong work ethic, consistently good interplay and efficient, non-fussy creativity on the final third. Today really should be the bare minimum for the fee paid, but it'll help his confidence he can do his thing in this league.
