Shaqiri is reportedly available for £12 million (Stoke Sentinel), due to a clause in his contract.
Stats say he was the best player outside the top 6 last season
This could have been a quote about Arnie before he signed. Well worth 12m in today's market.JustLikeMyDreams wrote:Not sure on him in truth!
He seems one of these players who can look awesome one game and anonymous the next.It really does depend on his attitude and if he want to give it his all.
He undoubtedly has quality,but does he have the right mentality?
I am on the fence with Shaqiri,but if he wants too come I would take a punt,so yes!
I am not sure how many other game changers are out there,that we could sign.
Which would present a major problem. Imo in today;s football you can afford one player who doesn't track back, but 3 of them would just lead to an overrun midfield and defence. Shaqiri is a talented little sod but can be somewhat lacking with the tracking. But I'd take a punt on him. Imo he would improve the team, never mind the squad, and that's what it's all about. And of course the coaching staff can get in his ear about doing the hard miles.FlatCapDave wrote: We could, and it would be incredibly exciting, and would rely on the 3 midfielders being incredibly disciplined and covering a lot of ground as none of the front three would be doing much tracking back.
