AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 TBH I haven't a clue how good he is, but it was obvious he was going to leave. Risky signing for any PL team with decent ambitions, given how little he's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think he'll do really well there, tbh. Much better suited to a side that will have more of the ball. He was brought in to try and help us become more of a possession side and was generally shot at it. Can't see him having much of an impact there at all tbh. I mean if they plan on playing him in the centre of midfield with the job of keeping the side ticking over he'll be fucking awful, but as part of their front 3 or 4 he's capable of tearing sides apart. He's basically a forward - early on with us he would find space and drift into the box with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He'd walk into their team imo. They don't have anyone who is anywhere near the goal threat he is and all their attacking midfielders are just as inconsistent as he is so that can't really be used as an argument against him really.

TRon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think he'll do really well there, tbh. Much better suited to a side that will have more of the ball. I'm not really sure he's cut out for the pressing game like. He's a good finisher and has obvious ability, but Liverpool? Anyway, we will get decent money for him so not particularly fussed.

FustinoSolano Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 We should be gutted he's getting sold, but we're not... that tells it's own story! Obviously an extremely talented footballer with fantastic technique but clearly has huge character flaws that allowed him to sink into the sea of negativity and apathy that set in very early on last season. He should have been a shining light that should have got us out of the mess, in the end he was one of the major reasons we went down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is even when the apathy disappeared and we went on a run after Benitez came in, he was one of the few who still looked lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 £24m and medical this evening? Seems to be doing the rounds. That'd be mindblowing/incredible. Near enough £10m profit. In Rafa we trust to find a suitable replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Rafa we trust to find a suitable replacement. No need for replacement in his position for now imo. Think if we sell Sissoko we need to bring one in. But as far as I'm concerned, Mitro, Gayle, Perez, Shelvey, Ritchie, Aarons, Thauvin and Sissoko (if he doesn't go) must be able to do the job in this league as our offensive players.

TRon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 £24m and medical this evening? Seems to be doing the rounds. That'd be mindblowing/incredible. Rafa is still sticking to his public line that he wants to keep both Wijnaldum and Sissoko here, and why not? We really can't lose in this situation, either we get huge money (rightly so) for top international players, or we keep them to rape the championship.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He proved that he didn't care last season, so good riddance. Annoyingly unlike previous departures, I can see him kicking on massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Wonder if we will go for a pure CM/AMC or a winger as a replacement. I hope we get a quality attacking LB as well. (CB will come) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I suppose the worst thing is it validates the career move of getting into the premier league by signing for a club in the bottom half, just laze around and enjoy your wages fora season, you only have to turn up to play for 2 or 3 televised games and bang you can get a big money move.
