triggs Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 This "away" thing really annoys me with him. He was shite for half the season at home too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 This "away" thing really annoys me with him. He was shite for half the season at home too He was pretty Nolan-esque in the way he was worthless if he didn't score. Only problem is Nolan was like that because he was a limited footballer, Gini just couldn't be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yes, what we really need is a work shy midfielder. Who goes missing when the chips are down. Which with us, is a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 What we also need is a midfielder capable of scoring double figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Would have him back in a heartbeat tbh. He's genuine class, he may go missing a few times, but with Rafa at the helm i'm sure he'd be more involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Silly rumour aside, spunking at least 25m on bringing Gini back wouldn't be my preference. Should be able to get someone better for that money. If it happened I wouldn't complain too much but I don't think he is the missing link for us at no.10.

54 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 A midfield like: Diame Shelvey Kenedy Wijnaldum Townsend/Ritchie Someone who can kick a ball. Would be pretty decent tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thought he was the most talented player we've signed since Ben Arfa. Just absolutely no heart. I seem to remember in the derby Catts was on a yellow and Gini still just completely avoided him and lost the midfield battle so that his legs were safely wrapped for his Liverpool move. Would be perfect as the player behind the striker in a Rafa system, but I still don't want him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 He has played a lot deeper since signing for Liverpool hasn't he? His first season there was more AM but now he's just a ball winning/recycling CM, maybe to keep Salah and the fullbacks higher up the pitch. He still creates as much as Henderson, who sees more of the ball and makes many more passes, presumably as the go-to player who collects from the defence. Some numbers you can play with, with Shelvey and Diame in for comparison. http://www2.squawka.com/comparison-matrix#premier_league/2017/2018/jordan_henderson/819/819/86/0/p|premier_league/2017/2018/jonjo_shelvey/819/819/523/39/p|premier_league/2017/2018/mohamed_diam%C3%A9/819/819/922/39/p|premier_league/2016/2017/georginio_wijnaldum/819/641/7968/36/p|premier_league/2017/2018/georginio_wijnaldum/819/819/7968/36/p#total_score/key_passes/chances_created/assists/pass_completion/avg_pass_length/goals_scored/total_duels_%/fouls_committed/fouls_suffered/total_passes/total_forward_passes#total Playing bread and butter CM in this way, and not just "ghost in and score but otherwise invisible" AM, suggests he is much more useful that he looked for us. For us, I think the goals he scored came from very few shots, famously all four in that Norwich game, so that level of production is unlikely to be repeated.

sempuki Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I guess they still owe us part of his fee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 No way I'd want him back tbh. Also, funny how Klopp said he couldn't believe how deep he was played at NUFC when he signed him for LFC and he's contributed the sum total of fuck all to them in an attacking sense and now plays even deeper for them than he did for us. Would MUCH prefer to look elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Wouldn't even have him on a free. While i think the story is bollocks, i wouldn't cut my nose off to spite my face. He would improve us under Rafa, so i certainly would take him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Amazing that people that don't want Townshend back want this clown to return. How can people have forgotten how invisible he was for us? ! A complete nothing player. Has done nothing at Liverpool despite all the talent around him and a manager that gives you all the freedom in the world. Sorry, this guy is terrible. Would have Jonas back ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I would 100% have him back. Think he could be great under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
