I'd love us to sign him, but can you see Ellis sanctioning a 13-14 million pound transfer? Seems unlikely.

I don't know what the budget is or how much the FFP restricts us but I'm sure he knows we need quality players and he is in that group. Sanctioned £10m for Rodwell so it might still be on the cards we can only hope.

PSV had rejected a 10 million bid from Zenit, so it's obviously going to cost us if we are seriously interested.

I know what you mean, no way of knowing if we are serious or not yet, and I have no idea how much brass we have, but I do hope we are after quality this summer, and not squad fillers.

Im sure the gaffer has some good contacts, and some thoughts on who we need.

And some on here would be blindly defending it :lol:

Yeah, I remember when people were telling me that Cabral was our new 'playmaker', and Roberge was 'amazing' on the ball.

We have enough fillers.
Rodwell, Gomez, Jones, Wickham, Giacch, O'Shea can all do a solid job if called upon.

We now need some genuine quality that will improve the team instantly.

Wijnaldum played in the middle 3 in the PSV 4-3-3 formation.
So he would be the playmaker in front of Cattermole and maybe next to Larsson?

Ad a good winger and 3-4 defenders and we will be alright next season :)

Midfield 3 of Catts, Wijnaldum and Larsson. Coates and Van Dijk at the back, with PVA and Byram fullbacks. Townsend and Johnson on the wings, and a new striker up top swapping with Defoe.

We'd even do well with that team.
 
The fuss on here reads like it did over Toby Alderweireld. I expect the result will be similar.

Be interesting Janey, Dick must have some kind of sway with lads who know him, he seems to be a popular gaffer.

We could make a big impression in the market this time round, here's hoping!



Why? Not unreasonable to pursue good players.

I've never seen the lad play but he has a good reputation and has apparently been courted by some of Europes top clubs. Just don't see him coming to a club constantly battling relegation.

Maybe he might see us as a stepping stone to testing himself week In week out in a major league for a couple of seasons

Not sure many think like that to be honest. With the big boys invariably comes big money and that's ultimately what it's all about.
 
So let me get this right, this lad will never sign for us because he's too good for us. If he does sign then he's obviously not as good as he's made out because he'll be signing for little ole Sunderland, relegation fodder. Ffs how are we ever supposed to move forward with people who have mindsets like that. Lets have a bit of ambition for once. Looks like the club might be starting to learn from mistakes and trying to get things right.

Our top man informs us Newcastle in initial negotiations with PSV for playmaker Georginio Wijnaldum. Fee would be in region of £9m #NUFC

Damned if they do, damned if they don't it seems. If he's available and wants to come to England, then all we can do is try and let him know he would be very welcome here and will get paid well.
