Georginio Wijnaldum

[frank the tank]

the million euros a month into his bank account will cheer him up surely......

also, he might still keep his place in Holland.

Gini has made his bed and now needs to lie in it. Whinging already as he's realised the grass isn't greener.

I can see him getting less and less game time as the season goes in.

The team is built around Messi and they play a double pivot, currently Veratti & Gueye. He then has Herrera (!), Paredes and Danilo all ahead of him and a couple of youngsters vying for a place too. Then when Ramos is back fit and in the team, they might even bring Marqhuinos into midfield occasionally for the really big away games like last few years.

Gini won't get an attack midfield role as Messi obviously has that sewn up and there are plenty of other better options as PSG's disposal there too.

Wide option? No chance with Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria, Draxler, Sarabia all on the books.

He'll be pushing for an exit in January - probably loan or permanent back to Newcastle

Already?


He started his moaning to the press back in August and has not stopped since. If he is not talking about us, then he is on about Barca. The Barca one is funny because he is the one that turned them down and since then has been going on about how Barca were and are his dream club to play for.

Must have been his wages with Barca. They were already over subscribed, that must have been what kiboshed the transfer. My guess is that’s the transfer he wanted (or staying with us) he pushed us as far down the line as he could to leverage a deal with Barca, but then the Barca transfer couldn’t happen (collapsed) and he had burned his bridges with us and was left having to find a new deal elsewhere.

Just sorry we still do not have him. Would be trying to push for Newcastle to take him, Chamberlain, Philips and Origi for a chunk of that 190m they are meant to be able to spend without coming close to FFP waters.

As is I think they should give us 30m each for Philips and Origi and 40m for Chamberlain

It looked like Barcelona was his dream move, I guess we don't know who turned who down in the end but with Barcelona struggling to get players registered at the start of the season not going there seems sensible. Not sure how the PSG move evolved from that, if he didn't 'research' it enough, if he was backed into a corner or didn't want to climb down and stay with us or whatever, it is looking like he made a mistake and he knows it. I find it odd to be coming out and saying so much publicly this early on, as presumably isn't going to help the situation.

Might help get him a loan move in January? Or he's trying to put pressure on the manager into playing him? Either way, not the sort of behavior we saw with him at Liverpool, but then he had a manager like Klopp, and they are few and far between.

[Mr Pink]

I like the fact that he’s constantly whinging to be honest… might help us with the Salah negotiations, in that he’s being reminded that the grass isn’t always greener

[Shaggy]

He's always tweeting about us too. Like when Houllier came back with Villa and sat on their bench waving and smiling at the Kop for 90 minutes

A shower of ****ing cunts - I’m not going to say what did he expect but he’s going into a very different dressing room full of egos. Neymar ruled the roost and now Messi on top of it

So many players shine in our system and they know how they support the team. They buy into the collective. You can see when they leave how they don’t usually have the same impact and Gini is already struggling - not at Coutinho levels but alarming to see that

Good as Mo is I don’t know if he’d replicate it at another club - our team us set up for him and Trent behind us as good as anyone to get him the ball. The grass isn’t always greener….

[Exiled_red]

Maybe if you spend 5 years at a club where everyone is pulling in the same direction and looking out for one another you get the naive idea that it is the same everywhere?

[spud_gun]

He can dry his eyes with some hundred euro notes.

Time this thread was moved to General.

[RedReet]

Genuine question...

Why is Gini a money grabbing mercenary for not accepting a contract they he felt was below his worth, but Mo should be paid anything he asks for, even if it means selling the club as some have suggested ()?

[spud_gun]

Not sure anyone has suggested he's a money grabbing mercenary. He done what the majority of us would do in a similar situation.

But following the move it's not working out for him....
