#LFC have completed £25m deal for Newcastle's Georginio Wijnaldum. He has penned 5 year deal and will wear No 5. Flying to US this weekend.

[Fierce]

Excited by this!!

[Buzzo]

Yeah I'm happy with this signing too. Intriguing to see where he will fit in!

[Rich]

Boom! Two signings in one day! Getting **** done.

[labourRed]

I've seen little of him but struck me of bang average so naturally unsure but you make enough signings you'd hope a few stick.

[Buzzo]

Takes the no 5 shirt.

[Leyton388]

Decent.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Interesting.

He's pacey, direct at times, powerful and fairly composed.

Having said that I didn't really rate him, his stats last season at Newcastle were very good but its difficult to judge players moving from a team at the bottom end of the table.

A concern I have is that he's yet another player on our books who's best or preferred position is in the number 10 role.

I trust Klopp and fully support him but its worth pointing out this is the type of signing that can go on to define a managers time at a club. You rarely get away with too many £20m+ players not performing, we now have Mane and Wijnaldum who both fall into that category and both have question marks over them.

Hopefully Klopp's plan for him work out and we'll all be calling it a masterstroke in 6 months time.

He's going to help us win the league

Excited by this!!

Me too!

I think he's going to be brilliant for us. Never seen a player look so happy to sign for us ha ha!

His finishing reminds me of Suarez, very clinical but I do worry about his desire and work ethic.

[danperkins]

Will bring in more goals and some more pace and power. If he's bit more consistent could be a shrewd buy. We don't usually have many Dutch players

He was linked with us loads of times during the Rafa era. Finally gets his big move. With better players around him there's no reason to think he couldn't improve on 11 goals and 5 assists.

[brightred]

Hmmm, hard to judge this one.

He's either going to be brilliant or ****e.

We've seen and heard **** all from Ian Ayre this summer and we are getting deals done with the minimum of fuss. I like it. I like this lad, goals from midfield is a huge thing that we've been lacking bar big Phil so this will help a lot. Firmino too but most of his goals came while playing up front so remains to be seen if he can do it from further back regularly.

He's on gardening leave
