nufc4eva Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 De Telegraaf say a deal could be done today. I'm getting to the point where I just want us to come out and say "look we ain't signing players because it costs money, deal with it", at least it would be honest and up front. All the promise of a new coaching setup and willing to give Schteve a chance but then fail to equip him with players capable of a top 8 challenge and lumbering him with Williamson etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Oh I'm certain we will sign players. It's the standard we end up with I'm worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 On the one hand I am convinced Wijnaldum will have better options than us, and on the other hand I think we can do better deals than him even in Holland. He's a good player but I'm not sure he is what we really need. We already have a number of attacking midfield players, whereas we are really light in the winger department. I can't see him being happy playing right wing for us long term. If memory serves this was exactly the reason he left Feyenoord for PSV a few seasons ago.

Edit: what TRC said basically If it wasn't so unlike us to replace a player before selling, I'd be 100% convinced that this means Sissoko is off. As it is, I'm only about 95% certain of it. CM/AM really isn't where we should be looking at players tbh, we've already got De Jong, Marveaux and Cabella fighting for a spot there (Cabella only if we sign some wingers). We need CBs, wingers and strikers before we even start looking at CM/AM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Unless we are shifting Sissoko and Cabella and don't trust De Jong to stay fit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Sissoko leaving is the only logical explanation, but I can't see us get much more for Sissoko than what Wijnaldum would cost us, so that would make it a sideways move in every way imaginable.

ads Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 However much De Jong could be an absolute key player for us, it would be suicide to rely on him being fit all season. Wijnaldum would be a great signing...but only if it's followed up with a lot more of equal quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you rate Wijnaldum compared to Sissoko? Hmm, I would say about equal, but Wijnaldum is probably a bit more consistent. That said, he has not really been tested in a stronger competition than our Eredivisie and contrary to a lot of people I don't think he had a great World Cup, just a decent one.

AY Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Interesting if we sign him and keep Sissoko. What formation are they thinking about? If it's true that he doesn't wanna play on the wing, where the hell we fit them all? 4-6-0 with De Jong as a false nine? Sissoko and Wijnaldum behind him making runs, Tiote/Abeid as an anchorman and Cabella&Aarons on the wings? Or just stick Sissoko on the right? Cisse up top, SDJ and GW behind him? More likely we just sell Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
