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...

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...

LFEE 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...
Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 As shit as Wijnaldum was of course he did more for us last season than Sissoko. Point is I believe Sissoko could be motivated by Benitez, I saw nowt from Wijnaldum in the last 10 games to suggest the same. Both are going anyway, and both should go, wastes of space and nobody should want to keep either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Where does he fit in Liverpool's side? I can't see him getting in the team. He's not a high-energy pressing player either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I never saw any of his away performances apart from on TV, so was he just not scoring goals but still playing ok ? or was he just totally shit ?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 In my mind we are not selling what we had, we are selling what we could have had next season. I am almost certain he will shine in a better team for a better manager (meaning Klopp vs McClaren), being more used to the english game, and prove that his price tag was justified. Realistically we were never going to keep him here after relegation anyway, and in the end it's probably for the best. We get a decent amount which can be saved for improving the squad when we are back in the premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I never saw any of his away performances apart from on TV, so was he just not scoring goals but still playing ok ? or was he just totally shit ?.

TK-421 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I actually thought that Saturday might have been his first 'away' goal for us.... then realized he scored twice in away Pre-Season matches last season too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

Shush Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He's an easy one to sell because his stats look decent for a new season in the Premier League. If we get over £20m that's great news as we can reinvest. The fact is away from home he was shocking and when the going gets tough he hides. He also didn't look like he was comfortable in the CM role, it's either behind the striker or wide forward. Bit of a luxury player given the money. I'm sure many will have only seen our highlights where he was doing good stuff. I imagine the same frustrations we've had will come out at Liverpool.
