ExiledGeordie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He's clearly a nightmare for defenders to pick up playing where he is now in the middle. He's got bags of pace, great movement and is a qualify finisher. Very hard to pick up for defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh74 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Makes a hell of a difference when a foreign player comes in and is given plenty of game time and patience to adjust to english football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He's started to pull out his tricks and beat players a lot, I think he was scared of being cleaned out earlier and was a bit more conservative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He's like all the best bits of Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Rob Lee molded into a player, with the Nolan/Speed knack of knowing when to arrive in the box. He's fucking sublime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckard 13 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Like nothing I've seen at Newcastle so I don't see the sense in comparing him personally. A wonderful footballer. Should be scoring more goals mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Like nothing I've seen at Newcastle so I don't see the sense in comparing him personally. A wonderful footballer.

Should be scoring more goals mind. He's got 9 league goals like. Could easily end up on 15 This, he's a midfielder and has 9 league goals at just over the half way stage. There are strikers in this league who won't get that this season, disappointingly a few of them play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 When we signed him, & I first saw him play, I've never been as optimistic and excited about a player since seeing Solano, play for the reserves prior to his first start for us. Gini is absolute top drawer. Delighted they've given him the position he wanted, really hope he can stay fit, and really really hope he is happy here and beilieves in what the club are doing--not that either are certain to make a difference--because I suspect he is going to be a wanted man come the end of the season.

U2 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I can't see him going for less than £40m to a huge Champions League team. If I were to guess, I'd say Man Red will be his destination as an upgrade to Mata. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 A lot of big transfers are mainly due to hype, don't really see him being hyped a lot yet and probably because we are not winning games. So i doubt anyone will offer anywhere near the amounts being talked about yet, not that i want them to anyway they can all fuck off tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are strikers in this league who won't get that this season, disappointingly a few of them play for us. Aye he's got 9 But you can't tell me he's not missed a hat full of really good chances in the last 6 or 7 games. I'm not saying he's doing poorly, I think he's brilliant, just commenting on what I've seen. It's a bit like Hatem, I could never truly criticise him because he was comfortably the best player out there but at the same time that raises the expectations and I've seen enough for Gini to think that he could be in double figures already. I imagine he's the sort of player who probably would agree with that himself. I don't think it's a negative to say someone is playing we'll but I think they can be even better.

Karjala Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 For all the many shite signings the club have made, hoping to move them on at a profit and it hasn't worked, Wijnaldum is exactly what Ashley wants. He's got to be one of the best players of recent years, and if and when we do sell him, he'll surely go for £20m+ Just wish we could keep him and try and build a good season around him, if we stay up.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 9 goals and 4 assists so far, if you've told me at the start of the season he would get that even in the FULL season I'd have snapped your hands off tbh. Our most important player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Remember when people would slaughter Andy Cole for the number of missed chances...you've got to be there to miss them. I wonder what the best conversion rate (shots -- to shots on target -- to goals) is in world football? Should be higher for strikers than midfielders, given their specialisation. 'kin hell, to have a player like Colely again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 His 93% pass completion rate during the 1st half yesterday was unreal considering how much of his play was taking us forwards rather than trying to play safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Kinda funny how man u went to a lot of trouble securing depays signiture, this guy is leagues ahead though i guess depay may one day come good, albeit his attitude is apparently awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show you never know with transfers. If I had to guess though, Depay will almost certainly improve from his current level whereas I would be surprised if Wijnaldum can keep this rich vrign of form up over time.

Fair enough, I have seen nothing of Depay to suggest he's much cop yet, he maybe has moved too soon he needs to be playing week in week out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
