Not the best manager was he?

We are going to miss Ginis unbelievable ball retention and quick feet the lad was a master of keeping hold of the ball in tight spaces plus his injury record. We are weaker without him and the club really needs to pull a very good midfielder out of the bag to address him going.

100% bang on. The only thing he really lacked was goals. Would love Tielemans to replace him

He was a very good defensive midfielder, but very limited on the ball.

His job was to win it and give the ball out.

Yeah, but he couldn't cross the ball very well.

Never saw the cunt scoring a try, did you.

True. He was able to play more often than not so that helped makeup for it.

I didn’t need to go there. Barcelona realised soon as he landed that he wasn’t good on the ball they immediately moved him to centre half.

Ever seen the useless cunt take a goal kick?

[3 Stacks]

We love to compare players who are/were nowhere near similar. Fantastic exercise. We should do Xavi and Desailly next.

My dodgy maths works this out at c.£157k per week.

 

[magicrat]

Novel idea but why don't we sign him on a 3 year contract at 157 k pw

[Daisy]

Bargain 

[niallers]

Pretty sure that's after tax as well. Tasty

[Vincent Vega]

I read he was getting €165,000 per week after tax.

He's won everything he was going to win here, so you can't knock a person for wanting a fresh challenge. Nevertheless, the whole thing does rather smack of us playing silly buggers over what is, in the scheme of things, poxy money.

He’s not won the league cup like hendo has. 
 

come back gini and aim for that case of carabao (whatever that is)

[JagSquared]

Fair play to him, we’ll miss him. Seemed like a good guy too.

If we had a squad of players in their mid 20s with long contracts you would have a point. We have 6 or 7 lads about to be where Gini was this time last year. Rightly or wrongly they now know when we make a final offer its a final offer. Utd got absolutely rode by DeGea,  Arsenal got done by Sanchez, Ozil and Aubameyang, we're right not to put ourselves in that position over anyone bar fully back up to speed Virgil.

The Mancs are in talks to offer Pogba a new contract as well despite him doing the square root of fuck all since he re-signed for them. I imagine that won’t come cheap with that leech of an agent he has.

Good points, plus I think Gini would have commanded a huge signing on fee tax free so he would have wanted that factored in.

They have to though - even though he is shite someone would pay 60-80 mil for him.

 

Wiji is not in that boat. 

[Red74]

If Klopp really wanted him to stay he'd still be here.
