SUPERTOON Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Definitely needs replacing, despite how poor he played he scored a large chunk of our goals. Would like to see us go for Will Hughes from Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Is that the injury prone white ghost? One bad injury i think, an ACL. Very, very good player though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelveys Hair Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The best thing about Shelvey is his long range passing which Im not sure suits Rafa. Everything Iv read on Benitez says he likes to keep it a simple shorter passing game, which means Shelvey will need to add another string to his bow.

mozy Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 He's a good technical player but has absolutely no idea how to influence a game beyond timing his runs into the box well. The absolute definition of a luxury player and one few teams can afford to carry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 One of the journalists on Twitter (possibly Joyce from the Express?) mentioned that it's £25m plus add-ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Great deal for us. Great player when he feels like it but he doesn't feel like it very often. Could get 3 quality players for that money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Is that the injury prone white ghost? One bad injury i think, an ACL. Very, very good player though. He's great for the Championship and is going to be unreal in a few years if he keeps up his development. That injury was quite a bad one though, so only time will tell. He's the kind of flair player we've been missing in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dabe Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Good deal for both parties. Still like Gini irrespective of how half his season went and he is a quality player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Absolutely robbed them £25m could buy us 4 or 5 players good enough to compete at the top end of the Championship. In reality, Wijnaldum performed so rarely for us last season that he will not be missed and is easily replaced. Sissoko out the door for a similar fee, with 2 or 3 quality players coming in and we've had an outstanding summer. Or one good player in the premier league, with the stupid money flying around now. For me you go and look for players the level of Gayle and Ritchie, too good for the Championship with potential to succeed in the PL on promotion. Maybe a Will Hughes or that lad at Sheffield United we're being linked with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Good deal for both parties. Still like Gini irrespective of how half his season went and he is a quality player. Wondered if he might pull a Colo and just need a years agjustment but towards the end of the season, when we still had a decent chance of staying up, he just looked like he couldn't be arsed.

The College Dropout Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 £25m is fair money. If he plays 35 games he'll get 15 goals without having to play upfront. It's just whether they'll be happy with a midfielder that only contributes goals. But if they g with an Origi upfront who may only get 10-15 goals himself but helps form a slick style, a Ghostly assassin from midfield might be exactly what they need. i dunno. His lack of involvement imo will hold him back from being a top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and that certainly reflects poorly on him insofar as his attitude and application. Think he might not suffer from the same kind of tragic circumstances/adversity with a Klopp managed Liverpool though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he might not suffer from the same kind of tragic circumstances/adversity with a Klopp managed Liverpool though. Literally couldn't really be arsed to stay for a club's fans that worshiped him when he scored 4, or would take any man on and beat them with ease...and couldn't be arsed to play for Rafa and take accountability and responsibility for not performing when it counted to save the club from relegation. End of day i'd have loved him to stay but if he's sulking away and doesn't want to be part of Rafa's project - later Gini. Good luck at Liverpool. Those fans will not be as forgiving or take to him as quickly as our fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Very surprised at the fee. I'd have been happy just recouping our money. Of course you would. This is the reason why the Daily Star remains in circulation, and Sam Allardyce will be the next England manager. Because there are lots more like you who will continue to be surprised by football outside our limited thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Be lucky to sell both for 20m combined" We got exactly what we should have for Gini. Great job by Rafa, who was likely telling Lee to chill the fuck out and wait it out.
