Xherdan Shaqiri


Recommended Posts

Dry your tears, mate. He's here, get over it.

A joke? Did you just come up with a joke? This is like watching your child take it's first steps, but in this case towards social integration. I'm proud of you. Have some rep.

He has the look of your typical sixties player...short, stocky with a low gravity. Technically sound and with a good shot on him, another one destined for stardom under Klopp I dare say.

Hope you're right. I wish Klopp had got his hands on him at 21. By 26 all of his neurons are fully connected - he won't change much as a footballer.

He's not good enough to be a starter. Strange signing. Think Klopp really wants someone that can score long-rangers to open up space the way Coutinho used to.

You mean he's not good enough to be first choice? Given the fact he's not going to be, that's not a problem. As for starting, I'd rather play Shaqiri on the wing in the games we rest Salah or Mane over pretty much any other option in the team. That includes a fit Lallana. He just has better attributes for the position in the way we play. For 13 mill you'd be stupid not to do this, because you aren't going to find a player of his quality and pedigree for that price anywhere else. There is literally zero downside to this signing, because even if he doesn't work out, I would bet you could get a minimum of 20 mill for him if you sold him next summer, probably more.
