Monk Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 (edited) Being told by another colleague that he has a very reliable source that we have made a rather shocking and bold bid for FC Basle star Xherdan Shaqiri. Just passing on the info and yes I do realise how unlikely this would be, however this rumour comes from another club.

Turkish Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 Isn't it about time someone questioned whether shaquri is good enough for our team? Do we need him after SDR's last game? Is he any better than Holmes?! Lol. He's still in the champions league and wanted by about 50 clubs. If we to up, qualify for Europe and look strong, it'd still be a massive shock to sign him. But now?! BUT BUT BUT.(*stamps feet*) We are only potentially only two seasons away from the champions league. What about Corteses vision? What about the brilliant academy? What about the potential crowds of 50,000? What about the catchment area? What about the shopping in West Quay for his wife to enjoy? What about Highfield and Portswood schools being so great for his kids? What about being able to go for cream teas and strolls in the new Forest on sundays? What about being near the sea and an airport? What about being able to scrap with locals in village pubs if he wants to? It's not just about money and wanting to play for the biggest clubs in the world you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 If this were to happen it would be absolutely incredible. A bid for him is mildly believable owing to the Swiss connection. However, even if we were in the Prem I'd still give us no chance of getting him. I reckon almost every team bar maybe Man City would take him.

Saint_Jonny Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 I only know of him because of this goal against England: Know nothing about him other than that!

goso Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 A bid for him is mildly believable owing to the Swiss connection ...and I believe Monk is connected with Chelsea - probably never know whether it was true though.

It's There Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 But... we do have money- Chamberlain, and perhaps this shows ambition beyond our current status... we won't get in the Chamions league with our current squad alone... it's fun to dream... anyone remember Keegan?

Colinjb Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 Ok, assuming this is in any way true. It could be as much about raising profile then any genuine chance of signing the guy. A signal of intent for the future that will hopefully ensure we are taken seriously by other clubs in the footballing community. Of course, it needs that assumption in the first place.

Turkish Posted 28 December, 2011 Share Posted 28 December, 2011 who is with me in preparing a strongly worded open letter just in case we don't sign him...? We'll need to get SISA and the Saints trust involved to put their weight behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
