King Kebab Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 13.5 million is a bit of a steal, take it Lallana's arse will be out the door soon then??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 13.5m isn't a steal for such an inconsistent player who will likely be on the bench much of the time. EDIT: He IS a good player btw and a terrific guy to have on the bench. But that seems a bit much for a player like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 £13.5m is a 'nominal fee' for the EPL these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Stoke want to use that money to buy Matt Ritchie. Newcastle will use that money to buy Andros Townsend. That's what £13M gets you without release clauses in the current market. I think Liverpool are getting a great player for that money, and adds to a stronger squad, which is what they need this coming season. Fekir and Becker and I'll be happy.

He is just a youngster sure he’ll get plenty of time ... Hopefully he can stay fit and get back up to speed again. 12 months ago he was a key player for club and country.

David W Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Teams play a high line, Salah will burn them in behind. Teams sit deep, Shaqiri will smash one in from 25 yards. Great signing as an option, means 3 points against the dross is more likely. One more attacking player who can shoot from distance hopefully still to come in.

Kante's their only midfielder who wasn't a disaster last season Sarri is bringing Jorginho with him this weekend. That's a good start. Chelsea would be mad to sell Kante, especially if Willian goes to United or Barca. Bakayoko should be the first to leave but, after his dire performances last season, it could be difficult to attract serious offers. He'll probably be sent out on loan with the rest of the dross that Emenalo signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Just me that thinks Shaqiri is a waste of money then? If Liverpool have any aspirations of success they need to aim higher than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has good experience and I think will be more effective for a strong trophy chasing side like Liverpool than he was for a relegation fighting side like Stoke.

I have been saying the same thing since Liverpool's interest was reported. They still have Solanke, Sturridge and Origi with Ings and Ojo rumoured to be leaving. Shaqiri's too inconsistent so, with a fit squad, he'll compete for place on the bench with odd start in the League and FA Cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want cover for the right wing and no matter who they sign, they'll be back up to Salah. £13m for a match winner, with experience of EPL, Champions League and title wins, who's happy to play a rotation role, seems almost flawless really. He's definitely worth it aswell. Almost half what Leicester spent on James Maddison. A few million more than Wolves spent on Benik Afobe. £2m more than Deulofeu.

Deanburn Dave Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Shaqiri money should have been spent in the central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44430551 Jorginho signs for Chelsea. Man City not happy so they 'pulled out' of the deal as he signed, just they did when Sanchez sign for Man United. Looks like 'pulling out' is the new 'no I finished with her first'.
