Where does the bad attitude of Shaqiri come from?!
Captaining your country suggests otherwise.

I'm not sure about the Austin stuff. I've seen it from a few Everton fan sites (some of which do regular stuff with the club).
Think there is something going on. Just not sure how far along. Agreed terms with player but still negotiating a fee sounds promising.

Apparently doesn't have one actually, just a falling out with Mancini who I've heard is a bit of a [Poor language removed] anyway!

I detected a lot of rowing back on claims made yesterday. If it comes off, then apologies are in order, but it sounds like bollocks right now.
Amazed at the Blue Union flyer on this. Maybe the twitter account is not run by the same people as those involved in it on a daily basis.

Apparently (hinted at by Rummenigge) he's had issues with Mancini at Inter. I also think it looked very bad that he left Stoke dangling and never getting back to them to give them an answer of whether he was prepared to play for them or not when a fee had been agreed and his own representatives had spoken to Stoke.
Doesn't sound right to me.

Mods yet again having a blinder
Yep all speculation like Mirallas and McCarthy signing eh Dave?!
You're on a roll at the moment...!
That threadmark is superb haha.
As for Shaqiri, a loan with an option to buy would be brilliant.
Would definitely allow us to make a move for a quality striker to compete with Lukaku.
His attitude at Bayern was never in question, he just wasn't Good enough to brake into the first team with Robben and Ribery in front of him.
Moved to Italy for first team football and he struggled to find his form in a tosh inter side, which I think led to a Mirallas-style 'broken promises' fall out with Mancini, who as people have said has history of that.
He's not exactly a playmaker but I do think he'd solve our creativity issues. He has a knack for a killer pass, but he sometimes runs down blind alleys. But in his Basel days he was their mason creative outlet, like he still is for the Swiss. If he came to us he'd be the main man again, so to speak, and I think he'd be exactly the player we need.

I was never having the Austin rumour personally. Too much money for a second striker, unless one of either Naismith or Kone or even Mcaleney being sold to help finance it.
