We've got enough 1-good-game-in-10 wingers. We don't need the roided-up Alpine shortarse.

Shaqiri is a no brainer
Pay 12m sell him on after 2 seasons for a profit.
His goal ratio for a winger isn't bad at club or international level.

He is stokes best player by a mile, there's loads of times he made runs into the box but was never picked out.

People have it in their head he only scores long range goals 1 in 20 games and does nothing on else but his not.

Can’t be very good then because you also said Arnautovic was stokes best player “by far”, meaning that Shaqiri was far worse. Both of them aren’t good enough and are sporadically good.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been offered to Liverpool and Everton as his representatives look to find him a Premier League club.

The Swiss winger was part of the Stoke City side relegated last season and has been clear about his plans to exercise a relegation release clause written into his contract with the Potters.

The 26-year-old spent three years with Stoke in which they twice finished as a top-half team before last year’s capitulation. Southampton and West Ham are also aware of the wideman’s situation but know that Shaqiri would prefer to remain in the north-west to avoid moving homes.

He may have little choice, with clubs on the continent baulking at his wage demands of over £100k per week.

Neither Liverpool nor Everton would struggle to find the £12m fee needed to keep Shaqiri in the Premier League, so much will depend on the player’s ambitions and how he fits into the plans of the two clubs.

The Reds are keen on Lyon star Nabil Fekir and have won over the player, though they face a tough negotiation with the club’s notorious president Jean-Michel Aulas.

Everton are looking to trim their bloated squad before adding some ‘big names’, according to new boss Marco Silva.

Sporting director Marcel Brands is renowned for his talent-spotting and his scouting department are hoping to find some diamonds in the rough this summer but equally there is an appreciation that a player like Shaqiri - proven in the top flight - rarely comes to market at such an affordable price.

Just no Brands, just no....fat Swiss tart....lollol

“The reality is that I have not yet spoken to the owner or Marcel, who I deal with on these things, about any Portuguese football players right now. I’m not saying I will not talk. But at the moment I did not mention any players who are in the Portuguese league.”

- Marco Silva (allegedly)

The stuff on Carvalho seems to have suggested brands has been the one in contact with the player for a bit anyway, so what Silva says could be true and we are still after him.

Said a good few times if I was a betting man would lay odds on both Lozano and Ismaily being two of the four or so we go for.

It seems there’s now a pretty good reason why Everton’s interest in the Sporting midfielder William Carvalho has been mentioned so many times in the Portuguese media recently.


Newspaper A Bola comes up with a very interesting story today saying that just after being announced as the Toffees’ new manager, Marco Silva approved the signing.

The manager has already worked with William Carvalho during his time at Sporting, and has now give green light for the club to go after the target.

A Bola claims that the midfielder’s agent Pere Guardiola has been in constant contact with Everton director Marcel Brands, and the negotiations should advanceme in the next few days.

Everton’s wish would be to get things done as soon as possible, especially because of the World Cup, as the player could see his price increase after the tournament.

A Bola adds that Marco Silva’s had his first meeting to discuss signings with Brands on Tuesday, and the director already has some other names on his list. Among them, there are two other Sporting players: Gelson Martins and Bas Dost.

Interestingly, the newspaper makes it clear that in case Everton try to sign these players, they’re doing it all clean, speaking to Sporting before making any personal approaches.

Maybe what they mean is that the Toffees don’t expect to get any of them for free after the attacks at Alcochete, which is still leading some of the players to try and terminate their contracts with the Lisbon side.

No chance of the various FA refusing the registration due to pending court cases and us ending up with a player we can't play, if we fully co-operate with Sporting.
