There's a calmness about him around the box that is hard to teach. Those little lay-offs and touches to set up a shot for himself or others are great to watch because it's effortless, many players in that position see the glory and go for it themselves or try and do too much. He sees an opening and says there you go, I'll set that up on a plate for you.
He's a weird player but an important one. We missed him against United, I think some of his composure in the final third might have just been the tonic we needed as we pushed for a late goal. He's versatile, works hard, knows his role and looks like he's been here for a couple of seasons already (the same goes for Matip and one or two others).
We got him for just over a quarter of what United paid for a dabbing idiot with no discipline. Pogba might go on to score a few highlight reel goals and whatever else, but Wijnaldum will have a much bigger part to play in our success. I don't mean to compare the two, normally I don't do that, but it just shows you. A bit of a left field signing like Wijnaldum and he's already shown his quality and importance to us even if it has been in an under the radar kind of way. United chase a prima-donna around all summer, buy him back for a stupid amount money after they let him go in the first place and now everybody is questioning if he's the right fit and even half as good as he thinks he is.
Matip, Wijnaldum, Mane. Those 3 lads have been signed by Klopp and all of them have fitted in excellently. No fanfare really, yet it proves that Klopp knows what he's doing in the market. The next time we at are linked with or buy a Mr John Doe from out of the blue don't get up in arms because he's not a 'superstar' in the eyes of the media or didn't cost £50m. Trust that he'll come and slot right in like this fella has.
