Astroblack Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 He’s going to have to sharpen up but I believe he will. With us flying high in the league, one foot in the league cup final, I feel there’s a sense of real seriousness at our club. Everyone is buying into the project including subs and periphery type players. This is a massive opportunity for him. He has no other option than to fall in line.

AJ9 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 A pet hate of mine is people getting twisty knickered about the “value for money” of a deal. As if it’s your cash man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Without wanting to be dragged into a "he's shit - no he's not". This is just another fee that makes me think that fees are hugely inflated at the moment. What has he done to justify costing this much? I ask genuinely as I've not followed him closely so I only see the obvious e.g. 21 and no senior call ups, on the bench for a team that looks relegation bound.

His ability - for £40mil you've got to have demonstrated some ability - even at youth level. But bar a purple part in one year it's nothing special.

Doctor Zaius Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Wijnaldum didnt fair well in a team that couldnt keep the ball. He was still an international, league winner and Dutch footballer of the year prior to us signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assumes we wouldn't be able to sell a 23-24-25-26 year old English forward to anyone. Do you know how bad he would have to be for that to happen?

They're delighted he's gone and think its sensational business for them. Guess we'll find out if he's as mediocre as they say. The only positive way I can spin this is I used to have a friend who was a massive Everton fan. When Stones wanted to leave he was absolutely shit and overrated according to him and it seems to be a bit of a theme from their fan base. I’m hoping that’s the case with Gordon.

Definitely worth taking on board and taking seriously like, but not gospel. I thought the money we got for Wijnaldum, Sissoko, and Milner was incredible, but they were all playing each other in the Champions League final a few years ago and 2 of them are Premier League winners.
