John P Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 At 15M still a great deal when you think Depay was nearer £30M!! Isn't he rated to be the better than Depay as well? Not even close So how good is he? Well, to my mind Memphis Depay, who is 4 years younger, is already a better player and has the potential to become Van Persie/Robben level. Wijnaldum on the other hand is what I would classify as a fairly solid squad player at international level for Holland. For me, he probably wouldn't have been a starter in Brazil, and I think he was often the weak link when he played. Probably a similar level to Cabaye and Sissoko for me. Is he more of a box to box player rather than an attacking mid? That's the impression I got from his YouTube videos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know he has also played out wide, and is apparently a decent dribbler with pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Patrolling the centre of the park, Wijnaldum shows his awesome awareness and anticipation. The 24-year-old is vital for PSV when facing teams who play through the middle of the park. He expertly tracks the runs of any opponent he sees as a potential passing option and helps cut out attacks for his side and often immediately kick start those of his own side. Sounds more like a replacement for Tiote than Sissoko. In fact he sounds like he would pair very well with Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Reading that article, he seemed far more a good CM that could partner with Tiote, Anita, Colback, Abeid, and Sissoko. Which is excellent to see. Imagine him and Moussa bombing up the pitch man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started out as an attacking midfield player often played out wide in Feyenoord's and PSV's 433 systems. In the last few years at PSV and in the national team he has been moved backward to play as a central midfield player. As such his style could be classified as box-to-box I suppose, although I do think he is more capable going forward than protecting the defense.

sbnufc Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 How about 4-1-4-1 Tiote behind Cabella - Wijnaldum - Sissoko - Aarons. Cisse/Mitrovic/Ayoze up top. Not sure where it leaves de Jong, though I havent really seen a place for him in the side since he arrived No doubt Colback will be in the team too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't think you need a DM man, I really don't With a proper coached and drilled side you should be able to play central midfielders who are coached correctly to pick and chose their attacks / sit.

Skeletor Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If Sissoko stays (lol) then hopefully this is the end of Colback as the (geordie)boy-wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Anyway, I'm glad we seem to be getting him. He is definitely of the required quality. Now for a striker, a winger, a full back and at least one centre back of the same calibre, or we will have a strong midfield but will still have trouble putting the ball in the net and keeping it out of ours.
