Georginio Wijnaldum

[Gibbo]

I've not really seen anything from him that suggests that he's good enough to be a No10. He'd be behind Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana so I'm not sure he'd get games there.

I haven't for us, but have for Newcastle, and once for PSV in a game I can't for the life of me remember who they were playing but they was ace.

He's got a decent pass on him and can get a few goals, but he's not strong enough or good enough in the tackle to be a CM, I said when we was looking to buy him I was happy if we got him for a decent price, as a backup we could rely on, I didn't know we was going to pay £25m and then use him to fill a position we've needed a good player in.

Seen other people suggest it but he's a square peg in a round hole, there's talent in there but think we will only see it as he creeps further forward.

We'll probably be waiting until next summer for a proper central midfielder. Until then, we're going to have to get used to Wijnaldum being used there, I think.

[Red_Polo]

Nah, if he doesn't work out he'll be Wijnalbum to Harv, surely?

I'm hoping he's just finding his feet at the moment. He's surely been brought in to offer goals from midfield with a knack for making late runs into the box, offering an aerial threat and powerful shots from cutbacks etc. On that basis I could see where the signing was coming from. But then we don't seem to set up to get that out of him, so I'm lost

Not seen enough of him as a player to be confident he will or won't make it here. Just watching, waiting and hoping. Will be interesting to see if his role changes when Can comes back in.

[loki]

Don't we already have a better player in Grujic?

[Harv]

You guys are overcomplicating it.

Its Wijnaldumb.

[Irishnev]

He cant pass, he can't shoot and his tackling isn't up to scratch. He doesn't attack and he doesn't defend. Its like watching raul meireles all over again.

Was thinking about who he was like, good analagy. In fairness he needs time to settle in but he is lightweight for a CM role.

[Harv]

I think he's a good player though. Looks like he's playing within himself too much at the moment, but that may be because he's learning our style and playing a position that he's not entirely used to?

Wijhingers!

[Shaggy]

looking forward to his debut

He's the invisible man. Grujic couldn't be any more ineffective.

[tanner]

He was that anonymous today, we could've had a 12th man on.

[Phoenix07]

I'd really like to see Grujic and Can as our midfield two at some point, and see how that works.

[Liverpool]

Can is in the German squad? I assume Grujic is in the Serbian. Shame we cant keep hold of them for some closed door games before Leicester.

[tanner]

Just watching bits of the match back again. Surely the £25m we spent on this guy would've been far better spent on a decent left back?
