Xherdan Shaqiri

[Kevin D]

Unavailable for the start of the season. Undergoing surgery to have a 95 pound mole taken off his ass.

[Aventus]

Does that door say Mr Controlled?

No wonder we keep picking up injuries, we won't even pay for a DR Controlled.

No dancing Van Damme?

 

If I wasn't a Tapatalk wanker I'd neg you for that.

[Trumo]

Do we have SteveO's analysis of his goal against the blueshite yet?

 

He hit it with his wrong foot so it doesn't count.

[Tj hooker]

At 26 you would expect his best days are ahead of him as Klopp says it's a no brainer at 13 million.

[cloggypop]

He looks delighted

[cloggypop]

Was going to say made up but couldn't be doing with the shit puns.

Klopp: “I think the English phrase to explain the decision to sign Xherdan is a ‘no-brainer’. When someone like him becomes available in this way you have to react if you are smart – and we have,” the manager told Liverpoolfc.com.

 

“He has speed and ability, has the right amount of arrogance on the football pitch, real bravery to want the ball and influence things. To play for us these are mandatory requirements.

 

“We are the perfect move for him in this moment as well I think, because he needs to push himself and challenge himself and our environment encourages that. We will want him to express himself but also learn and improve the areas of his game where he can still make progression.

 

“From our perspective, he is someone who makes a big difference to the squad and team, because he can fit in so many positions in our system. He gives us greater flexibility in how we can use our current players also. This is cool.

 

“I know him well from his time in Switzerland and especially Germany – I have been a long-time admirer. But the added bonus now is that he knows the Premier League and what it takes to perform in this uniquely intense environment. He also did really well at the World Cup – so he comes to us full of belief and confidence.

 

“Finally, Xherdan the person will fit in perfectly at Liverpool I believe. He has personality and drive – he is someone who will feed off the positive emotion of our crowd. He joins a dressing room of really good lads and I know they will welcome him with open arms and help him settle and integrate quickly.”

Harsh of Klopp to call the lad a no brainer.

So he did not fail the medical then. Good addition to the squad and for not a big fee.

But he's fat and doesn't press!

[Strontium]

Smart signing, very pleased.

[TheHowieLama]

I love Shakira so as long as the focus of his thread is not him I am fine.

[Xherdan]

Expected this to happen a number of years ago tbqfhwu.

[sir roger]

He seems a bit of a character , I like that.

Reading between the lines there, it is clear Klopp doesn't rate him or want him and the transfer was forced upon him.

 

Sad times.

[YNWAViking]

Heard he's on a burgers for goals scheme.

[Anubis]

Why is he in a wheelchair?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

He's fatter than most lean players.

 

And a bit good.

 

Bargain. Welcome whatsyername.

[Unrighteous]

The stages of this transfer.

 

Media: Liverpool target Xherdan Shaqiri. 

Me: The fat, lazy, Swiss version of a smurf? No ta.

 

Media: He has a 13.5m release cause.

Me:  Hmm... Decent gamble at that price.

 

Watches Shaqiri at World Cup

Me: Really solid at that price.  Didn't look lazy.  Still looks like a Gimli's shaved cousin, though.

 

Media: He's completed his transfer to LFC for 13.5m

Me: Fucking hell.  He's going to be boss for us.

[Pidge]

you missed last season's "I used to think he'd be a good signing for us but my word, I was wrong."

 

Happy to be wrong again.  Can foresee no way that I could possibly be wrong three times.

[Anubis]

 

 

Look at the way the shirt barely fits him. And that's a XXXL.
