Wijnaldum looks to have replaced Henderson/Allen/Milner in Centre midfield,it's his true position and the one he plays for Holland and previously at PSV.He is buying stop gaps though. The committee have bought mane and Wijnaldum strikes as a couthino replacement. The centre halves were stop gaps rather than full blown transfers.
If anything Liverpool haven't really improved themselves so far despite the money spent. Their midfield at the minute is going to have a massive hole in it between attack and defence.
For some reason and no surprise but the awful Mclaren played him as a left forward in a top 3,and he still scored 11 goals and had 8 assists which is quite impressive for playing out of position in a new league with a god awful team led by an awful tactically inept manager in Mclaren,not sure where Benitez played him.
Bournemouth paying 6 million for a LB who's had hardly any starts is astounding,they also sold a striker to Watford for 4 million and someone else to Norwich for the same fee.Seems to be the deals that Chelsea have been doing for years with their younger players it's actually a good revenue stream for FFP,stockpiling young talent bought cheaply and loaning them and then selling them at a huge profit,City have started doing the same as well the last couple of seasons.And selling Ibe for 15 million as well that's nearly 30 million pounds for 4 academy graduates who had no chance of making it there.
