He's class on his day but he's not a great team player (latest example would be his failure to track back for the Coutinho goal Vs Brazil). If Silva supposedly wants us to press from the front, would he fit in?

That’s the problem. He wouldn’t fit in the system.
If it was last summer I imagine we’d go all out for Wiltshire and Shaqiri and pay them shed loads but then find out they probably don’t fit into the style of play we’re looking to play.
 
Nah probably not if I’m being honest.

I just like players who can do something out of nothing. We don’t have any of them.

But you’re right. Nowhere near what Silva will want.

We do definitely need a few players with that magic to change a game from nowhere.

Mirallas could do it at one time, goodness knows what happened to him.

A slightly less talented player who fits the system is better than a more talented one who is either unable or unwilling to do so.

Putting a lot of hope into Marcel being able to get those sort of players and shift the ones who don't fit.

Shaqiri gives us nothing we’ve not already got in my opinion. Very talented lad but inconsistent, and the type to produce moments of quality rather than influence games with his overall play. Like many players who’ve been discussed in here at length, it’s not that he’s not good enough, simply that we don’t really need him.
 


Imagine if we could offload Bolasie, mirallas, Sandro, Klaassen and dcl (not selling them all of course)

And brought in lozano, shaqiri and bas dost for a total of about £50m.
