Newcastle target Georginio Wijnaldum has continued to talk about his link with Newcastle United, and he has called Newcastle United a beautiful club
Georginio Wijnaldum – Newcastle a beautiful club
Wijnaldum almost joined PSG last simmer bu turned down the move, and Manchester United were also said to be interested – but nothing came of that.
Georginio was quoted on what he has been telling Fox News over there in the US, and it was reported in SoccerNews in Holland – this is some of what he had to say:
“You need to know what intentions a club has with you. In the end, your feeling determines whether you want to go to that club. Of course it’s a beautiful club, like most clubs in England.¨
“But it is not obvious that I would choose that club. If they do not play European football but the feeling is good, you still want to go. Maybe it is not financially attractive.¨
“But they do have a good plan with you and still want you.” It’s hard to say where they have to meet. If I feel good, I would like to make a step. If the feeling is not good, I want to stay at PSV.”
Well may be that ¨like most clubs in England” takes away the compliment for Newcastle United just a little bit – but we’ll ignore that.
🙂
But he seems to be willing to join Newcastle, and you can read into his comments he wants to join a club in England.
Georginio had mentioned yesterday that it was up to Newcastle to first agree a fee with PSV, and then he could talk about the deal with his agent.
But until that happens he was going to concentrate on his getting ready for next season – which is fair enough..
But with the news out that Newcastle are moving in we need to move quickly before bugger clubs come in for him.
And Newcastle do not have a good track record of moving quickly in the transfer market, because they tend to think about things too much – like how much money the player will cost.
Comments welcome.

Comment #1Re- 2 threads ago. No problem at all if Woodman leaves, the last part of the infamous failed pardew clan.
krul went backwards, alnwick was badly unprepared and exposed and elliot is 2 stone overweight. Steele or Pav would be great and popular replacements.
Re Cbs I have some faith and hope in Lascelles, Good, Satka and Dummet and i know it will be difficult to shift any of saylor, willo and colo.

Comment #6According to this article Wijnaldum has told FOXsport he would prefer PSG.
However they say he is to replace Cabaye.
The NUFC people need to point ou to him how much bench-time Cabaye has had.

Comment #7Don’t mean to sound negative what but exactly is the hold up? Other clubs are going about their business and signing players yet as usual we are doing nothing? Lee Charnley cannot be that incompetent can he? Surely he must have learned something from last season?

This seasons shirt is all white on the back with blue ribbing and a blue section on the bottom.

Comment #15If he comes to NUFC it will be a major signing in my opinion, he’s better than Cabaye as he can control his aggressive side, I thought Cabaye although fantastic for us was also a bit of a nasty bar steward when he wanted to be.
Him and a fast skilful centre half and I’ll be happy.

Comment #17ToonMatt@7 – Never underestimate the incompetence of Lee Charnley. He is taking it to a new level – developing incompetence as an art-form.

Comment #19So what are peoples thoughts about the FF meeting from what we have heard so far?
…seeing as it all seems to be about how ‘great’ it was McClaren was there ‘to shield ‘ Charmless from a real fonging I will assume it was a waste of time!

Comment #20It seems Charmless refused to answer the question about why the emergency meeting he had called for before the end of the season never took place!
…everything seems to add up to what I have been saying about Charmless since January. Just ad big a problem as Ashley!
It’s not just Charmless but what stands for…the next one will be the same if we don’t do something! And that goes for everyone else employed at Newcastle.

Comment #21I don’t understand what people expect from the Fans Forum other than the obvious – another convenient avenue to sell the lie. They might come across all sincere and concerned, but after 8 years of pissing in our pockets, surely the penny should have dropped. You simply can’t believe a word these people say. Hasn’t that been proven over the years?

Comment #23I wonder really why anybody bothered turning up Jesper. Outright hostility, such as the Sack Pardew campaign seems to be the only way to have any impact.
