Bruv I think youre reading too much of the past into postsModo shoehorning longtime irrelevant obsessions into a post. Never seen that before.
I endorse this postI've always felt he was a piece of the puzzle brought in before the others. He's a good player, not an exciting player but a good link man who finally has the right players to link to.
Basically if you want a mix of players in that midfield .. then you have a DM and an attacking mifielder and then to link up the play with a tick tock to keep the ball and recycle the moves you need a Gini. This is what he is good at.In the MF role where in the pecking order is he?
Kieta
Fabinho
Henderson
AOC
Milner
Grujic
Lallana
Wini
New A/M
Should you have a £40m - £50m player as a bench warmer?

It's not, but just a reminder of how many players we have that occupy MFThat’s not the pecking order though.

I appreciate that Wijnaldum has always been transparent about his desire to win things. He's also got an innate ability to just ghost into good positions around the box. A better scoring touch would help him become more substantial.
Wijnaldum also seems to be a very friendly sort. Eerily so. His ability to hold off defenders and protect the ball can be spooky. And he's shown a lot of spirit during his time with us.
FFS.
I dont think Wini is going anywhere. He strikes me as the sort of player who will benefit from being pushed for a starting place and also from not being burdened by expectation. I dont expect him to be first XI when everybody is fit but he will get plenty of games this season. I think hes with Henderson and Milner in the 2nd string midfield now, which shows how strong we are in the middle 3 positions now.
Yeah our midfielders and fullbacks have to make alot of sprints which lends itself to more muscle injuries. Klopp seems to be happy to rely on the same core group when fit and only really rotates as a result of injury or burnout, still its safe to say we will have enough games that Wjinaldum will get plenty of playing time as hes probably the most like for like sub for Keita.
