Summer transfer speculative hopes and dreams

[Matty_j1878]

I am talking about Shaqiri not Charlie Adams.

Regardless of this post my point still stands....

Howard
Coleman - Jagielka - Stones - Baines
Barkley - McCarthy
Deulofeu - Shaqiri - Mertens
Lukaku​

Please Bobby.

is that next years Stoke team??

He's not there yet.

Apparently the offer is 17m Euros. Can we not find that?

If we genuinely wanted Shaqiri, we'd have gotten Shaqiri, likewise Payet.

Cabaye rumours to palace. surely he could be our no10?

We'll see at the end of the window. I remember people saying the same last year about a left winger and we never got one.

Perhaps our transfer budget is 15m after all and with Deulofeu signed that leaves 10m for a backup CB.

The one thing I have noticed about this window. A lot of business is being done early.

I have read this from a few pages back to start getting excited about shaqiri to then finding out Stoke have had a 12m fee excepted for him.

Disgrace if he goes there

Not that early 5 weeks til KO. Get a settled squad.

Shakira would be a good signing but whenever, wherever he ends up sure we have other targets.

So elitist. They finished above us. Why aren't they allowed to push on? Think they whined when we signed Rom? No disgrace and we're we ever in for him. PersonPersPersonally he did ok in Swiss league, barely played for Bayern and couldn't cut it in Serie A. Hardly a pedigree of success. IMHO.

Looked fairly decent in the last world cup for the swiss.

So did a lot of players but wouldon't sign on that basis. International footy no yardstick in terms of domestic abilities. Ronaldo was shocking for Portugal*

*Edit1: In Brazil

Just because we might have other targets doesn't mean we will get them. As the window stays open the prices will start going up as teams become more desperate making it more unlikely we don't sign them.

12m for Shakiri is a great price and what we need.

Ronaldo was injured.

Shaqiri is a properly head the ball, he's a bell.

Rather have Mertens.

I disagree. Just a kneejerk reaction to a player perceived as being "all that" signing for a Club that isn't Everton.
