Georginio Wijnaldum

Os he really comfortably better than a revitalised Joelinton?

They are different types of players though. Alot of things Big Jo does (holds up the ball/aerial duels/defending set peices) Gini isn't so good at but the same goes the other way round. Wijnaldum is much better on the ball and uses it more effectively to keep possession. And keeping possession is something we desperately need to improve on.

Despite his previous no-shows if he wants the move it`s difficult to ignore the qualities he would bring to the team. Prospect of him linking up with big Jow and a quality dm is hugely exciting

It’s been all over at this point, wants to come back to England on loan at the least and at the moment it’s only us and Arsenal interested. Would be surprised if he wasn’t on ridiculous wages, mind.

Aye he'll definitely be on insane wages so that rules it out if what Hope was saying yesterday is true regarding not wanting to destroy the current wage structure at the moment

Coutinho is on massive wages and yet Villa are only paying less than 50%. I’m sure if we were serious, we could come to a similar arrangement with PSG to pay a proportion (and that’s even if Hopes tweet is factually reliable).

A fit and motivated Wijnaldum is a world-class player, my worry is if he’s been burnt out under Klopp. Like Geremi was!

I'm not sure PSG are as keen on getting rid as Barca were, definitely don't need the cash as much anyway. Even 50% of his wages would be €150-200k I'd say because he moved on a free

He’s on 165k pw according to this:

it might be that getting rid of a squad player and opening up a space is more important than getting him off the wage book.

Fair comment. Anyone see him play for PSG?  If so how's he done?

That's after tax. Tax on high earners is crazy high in France. Based on the £8.6m he's supposedly on and using a quick tax calculator I've done that's £20m a year or thereabouts in France though I'm not sure how the tax would work if he's on loan.

 

Way too high regardless if what we've heard from Hope is true

We could be flexible with our wages when it comes to loans like. I imagine we don't want our wage structure to get out of control right from the off but a 6 month loan doesn't really effect that.
