You gotta laugh at how enthusiastic they get over every signing they make, as if it instantly makes them twice the player as soon as they pull on the shirt or something..

My mate in work never rated him previously.. now he's suddenly a convert! :blush:
 
I can't stand them as much as anybody, but let's not kid ourselves and pretend Shaqiri is crap, especially at that price. He's been playing for Stoke for years, he'll be decent in an attacking side.
Think the issue with Shaqiri is not his talent but his attitude, especially if he doesn’t think he's getting enough playing time or the team set up is wrong.

It was what worried me when we were linked with him in 2015

and his time at Stoke only added to that impression.

Bound to get his first goal against us though as iirc he did for Stoke :(

It's amazing how any player they sign is elevated to football god status instantly by their fans - the idiots deserve everything they get.

Think that goes for most fans of every Club to be fair. Fans get excited when their Club buys players, fans will argue that even the unknown, unheralded players will turn into fine players. Last summer will tell us that.
 

Said it for a while, he has played an important role in that team. Folk who say otherwise cos he is a Liverpool player make themselves look a bit foolish imo.
Strangely enough when he missed the penalty I didn't resort to effing Kopite mode.. I just knew JP was going to save our asses.

Spot on. I made the mistake of chatting to an RS (typical non-match going) colleague in work yesterday.

' This guy (Shaqhiri) is brilliant and will bang in 20 goals this season'.

Me= 'That's what you said about Danny Ings'.

RS, beacon cheeked, makes swift exit spilling his coffee in the process.

:dance:
 
Why have they signed Shaqiri? He’s garbage. He’s the kind of signing we usually make. Really odd.

The answer is simple; choices to come off the bench in the second half of last season in attacking positions were Dom Solanke who scored 1 in something like 28, and Danny Ings who may have once had a chance at being a player, but after two serious injuries is next to useless in our system.

Squad depth is a big issue and he makes our squad better than it was.
