Georginio Wijnaldum

[redmike65]

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.

True, hadn't occurred to me. If he is beavering away on the sponsorship for the new stand and doing dealios in the far east then all the better.

He's on gardening leave

Is that fact?

I felt like something was up due the the way we've gone about our business, things like buy back clauses which we've never done before, deals done without fuss, his mush not all over the press releases etc. It would a long period of gardening leave though, a full year?

He's got a big lawn to mow - but chill; he has one of these....

Surprisingly a few posters on Redcafe calling this a decent purchase for us. Including non Utd fans too. Well Im surprised anyway.

We had a high number of shots last season but very poor goals return. Grujic, Mane and Winny have addressed that in one fell swoop. Whether they do the business for us no one can predict, but the correct steps have been taken.

There's only so long we can watch Hendo, Lallana and Coutts feck up shot after shot before the penny drops.

Very happy that we got him. Perfect player imho in terms of being ready to make a big step up.

Basically am as happy to see him join as I was to see Clyne join last summer.

he has done well for newcastle playing on the left, but you can see from this video he is playing more central and he is controlling the game.

Another signing sorted in good time. Really pleased we are getting business done in a proper professional manner.

The same Coutinho who had a better goals to game ratio in the league than any of them last year?

Coutinho had a decent scoring record last season, but for me his finishing isn't good enough, he gets himself into some great positions and often his finishing lets him down. He got to 10 goals, but IMO with the chances he had he probably should have got close to double that.

Maybe, although it's getting better every year and Mane's shooting was much worse when off form last year and I'm guessing Wijnaldum suffered similar problems away from home. My point is you can't praise those players for their shooting and criticise Coutinho in the same sentence.

Coutinho also spread his out over the course of the season (only one double), so was arguably more consistent than the others, who went through a couple of purple patches.
