Grujic should replace wijnaldum in our next match against west ham

I’m pretty certain Grujic will be a fucken monster.

Excited to see how Grujic and TAA get on next season. Should be breakthrough seasons for the both of them.

What about a middle 3 of Can, Lallana and Grujic next game to spice things up?
