Georginio Wijnaldum

[Bjornebye]

He doesn’t start in our best midfield when fully fit IMO. Love the fella to bits and he’s cemented his place in LFC history but I’d be more upset at losing Fab, Thiago or Henderson right now 

[Bobby Hundreds]

His lack of injuries is a huge loss. Truth is the team has to evolve we cannot let emotion hold back future progress. Its something every window we should seek to do but often don't. Always be evolving looking to improve be damn cheaper in the long run.

[Vincent Vega]

I still hope he stays, but fully expect he will move on. If he does go I hope he gets another top European club and enjoys another three or four years of being a top class player. He has had some average performances for us, but he has never hidden and has been a key part of what the team has achieved these last few years. Klopp and the rest of the players clearly love him and that says it all. Those two goals in the 4-0 against Barcelona will ensure he will never be forgotten as young kids will be watching highlights of that game for years to come. It’s just a shame he won’t have a full house to thank him for all he has done with us.

He will return one day as an opponent and do one his "holy shit, how did he get out of that spot" moves and there will be a collective sigh followed by a round of applause. There may even be some regrets.

Also, Gini is a more affective player than Scholes. Gini is also better at dribbling, close control, creating space, moving the ball effectively, and placing a shot. 

For us that would be in the third row.

I can't believe how everyone is so relaxed about him going. 50 games this season. And he's played over 40 in every season he's been here. Aside from a small patch of games a couple of years back, he's been in our first XI since he walked in. I understand there's no compromise to be made on his contract and it's tough when players are heading into their 30s, but anyone who thinks he won't leave a massive hole or we've somehow evolved passed him are telling themselves lies to feel better about letting him go.

If Koeman is sacked as it seems , He will end up at PSG. They have the money and they are looking to rebuild their midfield.

I think he'll end up a Bayern myself, bud.

They don’t pay that much do they ?

Quite true. Guess we'll see if he is a mercenary then!

Could easily get 250k euro a week there

[Barrington Womble]

And Bayern back their fitness guys to keep their older players on the pitch, so perhaps there's absolutely no issue getting the 4 or 5 years  he wants. It's felt all along the issue here wasn't what we'd pay him, but how long we'd pay him it for. His fitness record for us gives every reason for him to think he's worth it and who can blame him for backing himself. Wherever he ends up, providing it's not to another English club, I wish him good luck.

I'm gutted he's leaving. I don't trust our recruitment team to find a player as good as him that won't be a crock

Probably be bissouma.

Our recruitment team have been very good. Why wouldn't you trust them? 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Id love to see the International gini today, get a goal on his last game. 

 

Really is weird how we've just let his contract run down.

[Scooby Dudek]

I don't think he will start today. Nothing to do with being petty, just he looks shot and Milner will start. 

 

Ideally we are winning comfortably and he can come on with 5 mins to go and get a proper reception.

That was the team I went for on the MF match thread. I'd also say when he started off the bench the other week, he made a real impact when he came on. In all honesty, today absolutely has to be about us winning this match, there's no room for sentiment. If milner is properly fit, I would have him and fabinho as my 1st 2 on the team sheet (although fab looks fucked too) and I don't care either way Gini or thiago for the other, with one of them coming on at 60 for milner.  

[LFC 6 Times]

Quality player, definitely one of the unsung heroes of our recent success. Versatile, intelligent, composed as you like and never misses a game, compare Gini's availability to Hendo or Keita and it puts into perspective what we're losing.

 

For a player who's labelled a "system player" or plays it safe, he has a number of iconic moments the half against Barcelona is one of the greatest from a Liverpool player I've ever witnessed, that alone justified the transfer fee. The goal away at Stadio Olympico, was absolutely enormous. The goal away to Cardiff 18/19, his header against City 16/17, the opener against Boro 16/17, his header against Spurs 18/19 or the goal against Arsenal to seal it 16/17.

 

What a player, will be distraught to see him go.

[KMD7]

I'm gutted he's going

[magicrat]

Still think he may stay especially if we secure CL later. 

[dockers_strike]

Will be nice if he scores in his last game. But we move onwards.

[manwiththestick]

I will miss his smile.

 

When Gini smiles, we all smile.

He didn't trust them when they signed Gini.
