Wijnaldum's a far, far better footballer than Sissoko. Not a chance he stays but he's a player we'd really want if we come back up.

He has much better technique but he's a massive coward on and off the ball

You could say that about loads of players in the situation he was in, even Sissoko as the term is pretty much synonymous with playing shite. I wouldn't stick up for his application last season when it was obviously going wrong, I was fully behind dropping him (and Shelvey and playing, urgh, Colback). But he's so good on the ball that he's worth sticking with now we have a proper manager building a proper squad.

Looks like Pardew's been priced out then. He doesn't want to be here though so we should probably flog him for about £3m.

Handbags.

 

I'm in the minority with keeping wijnaldum. If we managed to fetch upwards of 25m I will gladly escort him there myself.

 

Confident we could  bring a couple of players in that would excite me more than a sulky gini.

 

Now you want £25m for someone you wanted out of the club :lol:

 

 

 

What are you talking about chuckles?

 

I think I'm in the minority of wanting to keep him. Never said I wanted rid but if we get upwards of 25m it's too good to turn down.

Hes not a coward, sadly he didn't seem to give a fuck.

Nah he's a coward, every time he gets it he just passes it sideways or backwards, never tries an incisive pass which for a player of his technique is very cowardly IMO

I doubt any player tried more 1-2s into the box than he did last season. There were times he'd do literally fuck all the entire game and look totally shit, but it wasn't because he wasn't willing to play anyone in.

He is good on the ball but he rarely shows it because he's a massive coward. That's why I prefer Sissoko to him. When Sissoko plays poorly as he often does he's still trying to create things running at people and trying to get the ball to the strikers. Wijnaldum just hides and never gives an option for a pass and then if it somehow gets to him he just passes it back

Honestly, I'm not that big a fan of either of them.

 

Gini was shockingly absent in so many games. I remember watchin and wondering where he was so often, and we desperately needed him to get involved. I really don't like his game that much at all. Still not sure where he should be playing either. Seems a luxury player that you could perhaps slot into a team with lots of quality players and he can just goal poach then.

 

 

 

I'd agree with the apples and oranges except this was wijnaldums first year in a new league, at a new club playing under a terrible coaching regime alongside a team plummeting. I'm not going to say his invisibility in too many games was acceptable but he certainly has more excuses to fall back on than Sissoko. 

 

I've said it before and I will say it again. If we had managed to stay up the majority of the board would be optimistic and seeing his goal return as a very promising first season rather than using him as another scapegoat for many players and management's failure.

Yeah, fair enough. I guess what frustrated me so much about Gini is that he wasn't even trying things, and struggling to pull them off, that I could understand. I mean he has pace and good ability on the ball, but hardly ever took people on for example. Really strange. It will be fascinating to see how he fares in another side if he stays in the Prem.

To be fair, we're in a win-win situation with Gini and Sissoko.

 

Keep them (due to no decent offers or whatever) - they then have to perform well for at least half of the season to have any chance of getting a move away in January.

 

Sell them (due to a decent sized offer coming in) - we then have £40m+ to strengthen to squad.

 

Personally I think both players have their talents, but both have such a poor characters that the bad days outweigh the good days.

Don't particularly like either Sissoko or Wijnaldum.  But even Sissoko stepped up a bit once Benitez got a handle on things.  Right till the end Wijnaldum was nowt but a liability.  Yet the fucker can turn around and talk about how well he's done, delusional and and absolutely no soul what so ever.

Cisse's replacement not so much. I think Gayle is more than enough to replace him.

 

Sissoko and Wijnaldum though, I agree.

Nailed it.

I like the idea of picking from the best Scotland have to offer. Looks like we might get two of their international team. Any more which can do what we need in the Championship and, ideally, have room for further development?

Of Sissoko and Wijnaldum I think I would rather have Sissoko in the team as he will try to influence a game you just have to motivate him to give his best in all games.

 

Wijnaldum on the other hand is a coward and hides when the going gets tough even when Rafa took charge, whereas Sissoko clearly upped his game.

 

Having said that we have got at least a year in this division, and the first year up won't be easy (target 10th to 14th). We need a dependable spine we can add quality to later on. Them too can't offer that.
