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.
