Ikon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think he will be class there if he goes there. Well well, hopefully we are getting decent money for him at least.. Difficult part is to find a good enough replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He was invisible majority of the season. I don't think it will be that hard to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Perez needs to play in one position for a while and this opens up the 10 spot for him nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Who are we going to replace him with? In the Rafa song, I mean. "Chancel Mbemba, Florian Tobin, Shelvey and Pereeeeez" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Rarely have I worried less about replacing a first teamer. If he hadn't been in the side for those last 10 games I think we'd probably have stayed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Don't think we necessarily need to replace him with a first team player anyway, we have a lot of forward options already who are all more than good enough for this league. Would be more than happy with spending the bulk of his fee on a defensive recruit and bringing in someone young for the future who could play as back-up (similar to when we bought Lascelles, Darlow etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He was invisible majority of the season. I don't think it will be that hard to replace him. Yeah but i just think he would have thrived under Rafa this season. I don't really care that much about him leaving as i never Got really attachés to him for various reasons.

r0cafella Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 People forgetting he played in a team which has been relegated and would happily take half of what they paid for mane. Why do some have such a desire to flog our best players as cheap as possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Just glad it is going to get done now really. His departure was inevitable - much rather it be mid July giving Rafa time to spend the cash and have his replacement(s) get a good chunk of pre-season with the squad than lose him on deadline day in August.

Varadi Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Anything over 20 million is decent business. Puts us back in credit for the window so far I think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Chuck in Ings and buy Will Hughes with the rest if possible. I'm sure Rafa has it sussed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'd much rather we gave them Sissoko. Let's see if we can pull the ol' switcharoo. I still have belief in Wijnaldum, whereas Sissoko has burnt all of my bridges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have belief in Wijnaldum, whereas Sissoko has burnt all of my bridges. Just not sure either of them were realistically going to stay with us in the Championship. I'm excited about who comes in as their replacements. We'll be fine. There'll be money to get some good players in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Well yeah, but let's move Sissoko on first. And then maybe we tell Gini that we'll TOTALLY accept an offer of £X for him. (and then don't accept it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Don't understand why anyones eager to keep Wijnaldum. Sissoko is frustrating as fuck but I'd even rather keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I checked out on both of them mentally when we were relegated, it was obvious on that day that both were leaving. I'm whatever on both of them now for that reason, just get as much as humanly possible for both and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Don't understand why anyones eager to keep Wijnaldum. Sissoko is frustrating as fuck but I'd even rather keep him. Because he has significantly greater footballing ability than Sissoko? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 But that means fuck all if he rarely shows it. Couldn't get motivated for most games last season. He'll probably be even more of a unmotivated passenger in the Championship. I don't want either him or Sissoko here. But I do think Sissoko can at least apply himself under Benitez and lets face it, you don't need technical quality to do well in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Don't understand why anyones eager to keep Wijnaldum. Sissoko is frustrating as fuck but I'd even rather keep him. Because he has significantly greater footballing ability than Sissoko? Double figures in his first season with the shittest club in the league vs zero figures for Sissoko. I'd bin Sissoko first as well tbh. Not that I think Sissoko will even be back, he'll go missing if there's no deal agreed soon imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
