Wow that is some entrance looks class already

To my New Liverpool family.
I want to say how proud and excited I am to join this great football club here in this amazing City.

The supporters at my former team Newcastle were incredible, now I am looking forward to playing in front of fans who's passion for the game is famous around the World.

I am aware of the history and tradition of this club and the Legends who have gone before me in the Red Shirt.

I make a promise to you the fans, the owners and my teammates and new Manager.

To always give everything within me to honour the great tradition of this club and by doing so win trophies that we can celebrate together.

Big love to all my new Red family both here and around The World.

Georginio #5

Wow...it's like he knows us already! This could be part of something beautiful. I'm loving the shape the squad is beginning to take.

Thats some top class leaning right there.

What a spectacular lean, this is what i'm looking for

Deepness of the elbow into the boot rack 7/10

Hand facing 4 O'clock to tease big goals, in second half of 3pm kick offs 9/10

Pearly whites to detract lean 8/10

All in all, a textbook lean, though he loses marks via presentation for the slanted neon boots behind him, unlike the blue ones above THE LEAN, otherwise he joins his Melwood forefathers ala Joe Allen as impact leaners.

Great suff #RateMyLean

Welcome, Wijnaldum

I know this kid is decent but he's just fucking stepped it up with a lean variation, THE BALL LEAN he's not fucking about lads!

Sarge · « **Reply #92 on:** July 22, 2016, 07:58:26 pm »

Wijnaldum arrives from Newcastle United for an initial £23 million, taking up the No.5 shirt and adding depth to Klopp’s midfield options.

He’ll fly to California this weekend, where he’ll join up with his new team mates and could make his first appearance for the club against Chelsea on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

Capable of playing in centre-midfield or in a more advanced role as an attacking midfielder, Klopp spoke of the player’s tactical understanding when discussing his arrival.

“He can play a few positions for us and players that come through the Dutch system usually have a good tactical understanding and flexibility,” the manager explained. “That’s really important.”

“I think he can be a great player for us. He has already shown some really good moments in his career but the most exciting and important thing for me and my staff is that there is still so much extra to come from him.

“When I talked to him I could tell that he knows we have to work together to get this level out of him to all be successful for the team.”

Great lean but his genuinely happy smile is a reverse image on Lennon's glum gob when he realised he was standing in front of an empty trophy cabinet at Goodison.

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #96 on:** July 22, 2016, 08:07:09 pm »

Is he any good? Can't really remember seeing him play to be honest (Though I must have done) - just doesn't stand out.

Looking forward to seeing how Klopp is going to get these new players playing together. He's got a definate plan, so that's good enough for me

RAWK Body Language Analysis Division have placed their order for a dedicated brand new BLA-CPU with associated hardware and software.

Delivery has been expedited via Amazon Prime to ensure that data is collected for comparison purposes from the very first time he steps out in a Liverpool shirt.

They even have the same box fringe

Although i'm concerned for Lennon's thumb

Yesssssss, fucking brilliant signing. I'm getting seriously excited about this squad we're assembling, especially the front line, there's goals in there. And just look at how happy he looks! Really happy we're getting our business done sharpish so Klopp can get the ticking nicely.

Plus if he's turned down those-who-shall-not-be-named-in-the-transfer-forum, even better. Welcome Gini!

He is very good mate. Don't let some of his performances for Newcastle distract you. He thrives on pass and move football. Without the support of his team mates, his game broke down at times for Newcastle.
His tactical understanding is good as well.
Only issue is, his defensive side of the game is a bit weak. But, he can press really well.

SC04OCT · « **Reply #106 on:** July 22, 2016, 08:23:47 pm »

Really happy about this one!

Don't know why people are complaining about the number.. He has worn 5 before. It's his number. He's gonna choose it over 8.

Can't wait to see him in action.

Weren't the Echo saying a few days ago that Zielinski and Chilwell were gonna be our last 2 signings?

Good luck to the lad. Hope he has a long, successful career here.
It's a great time to be a red, Jurgen has reignited my love for the game again.
God knows what our first choice line up will be, will be interesting finding out.

BritishGas · « **Reply #111 on:** July 22, 2016, 08:33:18 pm »

When was the last time we had such depth in the attacking positions?

Welcome Georginio, hope we see years of him banging in goals!

Why would they draw attention to those empty trophy cabinets?

Yorkykopite · « **Reply #113 on:** July 22, 2016, 08:41:23 pm »

No 5 - a proper midfield number for Liverpool. Cormack, Kennedy, Whelan.

Is it just me or am I right thinking he's got a look of digger about him?...

(And it looks like the lean's been a player unveiling shot for 29 years)
