Liverpool £415m Spree Rated: Shock D for Isak, Wirtz Under Scrutiny
Liverpool’s record-breaking spending spree has come under the microscope and the verdict is far from what fans at Anfield were expecting. After a staggering £415 million outlay, the pressure is now on every signing to justify their price tag, but the season has delivered a mixed and, in some cases, worrying return.
At the centre of the debate is Alexander Isak, who arrived with huge expectations after his prolific Premier League record at Newcastle. But injuries disrupted his rhythm and his output dropped sharply, leading to a surprising D rating. Limited availability and just a handful of goals have raised serious questions about Liverpool’s striking balance and whether the system is getting the best out of him.
In contrast, Florian Wirtz has shown flashes of brilliance but remains inconsistent in English football. With a B rating, his creativity is evident, yet his end product has not consistently influenced matches against top-half opposition. The feeling inside the club is clear, adaptation is still ongoing, but expectations remain extremely high for a player of his reputation.

There is better news for Hugo Ekitike, who earns an A rating after a strong impact season before injury struck. His goals, movement and link-up play made him one of the few bright sparks in Liverpool’s attacking unit, even if his long-term fitness now becomes a major concern.
Elsewhere, Milos Kerkez secured a solid B after establishing himself as a regular starter, while Jeremie Frimpong struggled to adapt, receiving a C rating amid injuries and tactical uncertainty. Young defender Giovanni Leoni could not be fairly judged after an early injury cut his season almost entirely short.
For Liverpool FC, the bigger picture is even more striking. A historic investment has not translated into stability and the team finished significantly below previous standards, raising questions about structure, adaptation and long-term planning.
As Liverpool look ahead, the message is clear: talent is not in doubt, but cohesion, fitness and tactical clarity will define whether this expensive rebuild becomes a turning point or a warning sign. Stay with us for continuing coverage as this story develops across the football world.
