Shaqiri is an interesting one. He’s talented but has never delivered consistently anywhere, and it seems a strange one to me given how well Liverpool have been building. Still can’t understand why they haven’t bought a GK, a position they are in real need of strengthening.

As for Chelsea, it’s an interesting model they have where they swap Managers every year or two. It makes me uncomfortable but they keep winning things so somehow it is working, to a degree. It does feel like the players hold the power though, I can see a situation developing somewhere akin to the Argentinian fiasco where the Manager gets overruled by the players.

{Ed002's Note - It is really no different if players don't work out - if it is not going well nthen they are moved on. And the players don't hold the power, the board does. The players are consulted and they do have an input if things are not going well - and that is how it has been done at many continental clubs, which are generally run very differently to English sides with the coaches often doing no more than coaching and having little influence over transfers.}

Tony, i think we'll come to regret not signing Shaqiri, he was available very cheaply and he is a good player and plays on the right wing. He's got a good delivery and is very quick, so he'll stretch defences. We will see come Christmas, but I'm not part if the get Bale brigade, he's expensive and prone to injury. Shaqiri would have made more sense, leaving funds to sign another midfielder, left back and centre back.

Aaa are you serious. Shaqiri quick get real. Wouldn’t take him if they were paying us. We need top drawer players not more average dross.

Just under £14m you can't go wrong I don't think. Would have been a decent squad filler.

Did none of you read ed1s rather excellent player profile? I wouldn't have him if he was free.

For 13m Shaqiri would have been a steal. And great for squad depth. His issue has never been his ability but his effort. Think Liverpool have done some very shrewd business by signing him up. Their issue was that when salah went off injured against Real they had no one of real quality to step in and make things happen for them. Shaqiri can do that.

Id rather promote a youth player. Isn't that the united way.
