Georginio Wijnaldum signs for Liverpool

[dwaynedibley]

State of play as I hear it...

Just far too much money as things stand. Player wants out though, and Geordies need to trim their wage budget. He's definitely an option, but not at the numbers currently being discussed.

I think this is what jj was alluding to when he said "not at the moment" when asked about wijnaldum as we are not interested until Newcastle drop the price significantly!!

Based on the quality he did for Newcastle, I don't blame them for wanting that money for him. He is a very valuble player. The sad thing is that we should have signed him a few yeas ago. The same with Bolasie at Crystal Palace. They want a lot of money for him now. We could have signed him on the cheap a couple of seasons ago. Same with Bats. I thought that would be Pochs first signing after he arrived. He didn't sign. So many of these stories. It is time to act!

Hindsight and Time travel machines would be a wonderful addition to a scout's armoury.

That's pretty harsh. These players were obviously purchased with a long term view in mind (as is the basis of our transfer strategy). It was their first year in a new league, they could easily be pushing first team this season.

Agreed. Lamelas first two years were borderline embarrassing . Superb player now

Not sure on Wijnaldum, form what I saw last season he seemed a good player for the counter attack but could be very hit and miss. Was that because of his first year in England? Playing with that Newcastle team?

I feel we have plenty of players who could play in that AM role (Alli, Eriksen, even Kane or Lamela) plus we could play two upfront more often. But in Poch we trust

I'm sorry but bolasie is not good enough for us.

GW is the right quality. But he's not worth spending 25million on. He may also interrupt the development of winks, onomah, Edwards etc

Liverpool have made a move for Georginio Wijnaldum, the Newcastle United midfielder, and are hoping a fee can be agreed this week.

Because that is the glaring weakness at Liverpool, not CB or left back, another attacking midfielder! Not too fussed if they do sign him!

good news, not worth the 25 mill relegated newcastle are demanding

Turns up when he feels like it.He wouldn't be consistent enough at Spurs

He'd fit right in since we decided not to turn up for the last 3/most important games of the season lol

 

[JonnySpurs]

HAHA! if there's one club in the league that'll pay exactly what Newcastle want then it's Liverpool. What a ridiculous football club. It's any wonder that they're still in business they way that they throw money at signings.

No worries, I'm hoping that we make a run at Malli still after it's being reported that he has a very reasonable release clause.

 

[andyp8080]

Imagine this in reverse........the Liverpool fans would be up in arms

'get your own scouts' ha ha

We don't want a player like this join one of our competitors. Liverpool is a club we should make sure we are ahead of.

I think we are ahead of them, don't you?

6 in the last 7 says so.

We've been ahead of them for years mate.

We've been ahead of them for years mate.

We need to keep that. Nowadays the only way to do that is by signing quality players.

Without any forum of European competition I think Liverpool will be really dangerous next season.

Good..let them sign Wijnaldum and serve us Lallana up on a silver platter
