Xherdan Shaqiri

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

He's also a set piece taker, which we don't really have since Phil left.

 

The World Cup proved how crucial set pieces can be.

[Philbert]

Is it a measure of our progress that we’re now treating Shaqiri as a ‘meh’ signing, compared to a couple of seasons ago when we might have pleaded with LFC to bet the farm on him?

Great point - could turn many of those frustrating draws into wins. Unless the opposition literally has a bus in front of the goal, their shithouse defensive tactics can be undone with one shot

Hope he doesn't break the machines at his medical

To keep the perspective, it's not that long ago that some were rubbing themselves off at the prospect of Balotelli signing.

[Bobby Hundreds]

So has dildo baggins signed yet.

[El Rojo]

My only complaint is every time I hear his name I started singing ‘shakiri sharkiri’ in a ‘hips don’t lie’ stylee

I’m more concerned that people will use the fact that Gerard Pique is his husband against him.

[Paulie Dangerously]

He's a blooter machine.  I'm in. 

[Pidge]

If you use the term "absolute slappers" to describe goals, then you are indeed indulging in an "episode of wham".

 

"He must have a foot like a traction engine!"

[suzy]

Fee agreed and medical happening today according to SSN

[Bjornebye]

He puts his belt on with a boomerang

He doesn't wear a belt, he wears those pants with the elastic sides from TJ's.

Snake belt Shaqiri

[Hand Shandy]

In today's market, under £15m for a player of his experience and ability is a no-brainer.

 

Even if it's just for squad depth.

[El Rojo]

Good background piece on our new man here:

I've no issue with him taking 27 yard shots. We need someone with the balls to do that. Coutinho was the only one we had since Gerrard stopped doing it. The element of surprise is essential.

 

There's nothing especially surprising about seeing Shaqiri twat one into Row Z from 27 yards though.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We bought the lad from pissing Stoke

His little car's a Mini Moke

Xherdan Shaqiri, Liverpool's weeble wobble

[El Rojo]

He's our Frodo, the last piece of the jigsaw.

 

He'll throw the ring of 29 years of pain into the fires of Mordor next May.

Is right 

[Heinze]

We binned Ibe for 15mil.

Or any professional footballer who tears one into row Z. Eh.

[Greycellgreen]

We binned Ibe for 15mil.

 

 

When you put it in that context it's difficult to have any real complaints.

Does the medical usually have a BMI check ?
