Georginio Wijnaldum


Disco

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

 

Xabi Alonso says "Hi"

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.

Alonso is also an intelligent footballer. Knows how to play without the ball at his feet to protect a defence despite a lack of athleticism.

Good deal for both parties. Still like Gini irrespective of how half his season went and he is a quality player.

Absolutely robbed them [emoji38]

 

£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.

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.

£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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy to get rid

 

Now for Sissoko

 

:thup:

 

Just need to get them to reduce the fee by about £30m or so to reflect Sissoko's true value as ascertained by those of us in the know about the game.

PSV are set to take a few million out of our profits through a sell-on clause apparently.

 

Can't see there have being sell on clause and never heard of one either - don't know where that has come from?

"Be lucky to sell both for 20m combined" :lol:

 

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.
