Liverpool and Newcastle have agreed a deal in principle for Georginio Wijnaldum for £23.5 million.

Waste of money.

How can he be a waste of money. He's yet to kick a ball for us and people are staying this . Eds are right about are fans slagging of players.

Disagree Redman, I generally don't think the lad isn't going to be much of an improvement on what we have already and although there is a lot of money pumped into the clubs this season, the idea of spending 32mill is inevitably going to be a waste particularly taking into our account of overspending money on players (Newcastle or not, its a Championship side) and more than likely this time next season we'll end up selling him off for 15-20.

Why can't you have an opinion about a player, just because he hasn't kicked a ball for us? There are lots of players that I think would be a waste of money, GW is one of them. The fact that he didn't want to fight and keep Newcastle up and the fact that we are stacked in that position is enough for me to think that we would be better spending our money on someone else. I am not saying that the lad isn't talented and if he comes to us then he will get my full support. Just because I have on opinion doesn't mean I am slagging players off.

Maybe money poorly spent is a better way of putting it. We didn't need another attacking midfielder even though wijnaldum is a decent player, we needed a left back and a genuine central midfielder and that's it. Now we seem to have over complicated things, maybe by the start of the season some of these transfers will start to make sense.

Hes not a waste of money until he has proved that he was not worth the financial outlay. To call him a waste of money is not an opinion, its a judgement based on biased speculation.

If he scores 11 goals next season is he a waste of money then?

Spending £27m on a player who we don't need and isn't good enough is a waste of money.

Can anyone please advise if GW possesses any great Free Kick taking abilities?
I really hope he does as this is one quality that is really lacking across the squad.

Also, I do believe that fans (who have actually watched a player over the course of a season) are entitled to an opinion on that player.

He is a waste of money because he is not an essential to get just a luxury, we need improvement on different aspects of our squad not attacking midfield which is our strongest position.

Who's said he's going to play attacking midfielder. If you got back to when he played in cm . Holland play him in the cm postion . Both teams played 4 3 3.

Fair enough Reus, would you then say he should play over Can or Henderson or Lucas. so where would he fit into the team, i'm sure he would be slightly miffed if all he was going to be used for is off the bench.

Reus and how is Holland doing at the minute on the international stage.

When he's played centre midfield he's looked utterly out of his depth, he lacks the discipline and the skill set to be a centre midfielder. Note how poor the Netherlands are when they play him in central midfield.

Faizal, his free kick and corner taking ability is next to non existent.

Waste of money? He scored more goals last season then any Liverpool player. And that's in a bad squad. Put him in ours and see what he does.

This guy (if indeed we buy him) will turn out to be a fantastic purchase. Speed, balance, poise, energy and intelligence.

Alongside the likes of Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge, whilst balancing out the driving attributes of Henderson, Can and Milner, he will fit in just fine and be a real asset.

I keep hearing people saying'we don't need him as we are well stocked in that area' do we really know come end of window who we will have, as we have been told nobody is safe!, I'm haven't seen enough of him to judge but what I did see he looked decent to me, suppose the proof will be in the pudding as they day (if we do in fact get him)
