OldNick Posted 11 July, 2018 Posted 11 July, 2018 Reports I've seen say Liverpool are happy to listen for offers for Judas I think his time at Liverpool is done move on or stay as a bit part player are his options I think. I don't think he would fit in our dressing room, what with him flashing all the medals he won leaving us....... Funnily enough I think we had more Wembley club appearances while he was at scouseland than he did

SuperSAINT Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Done & dusted. £13m. 5 year contract at Liverpool.
sadoldgit Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Perhaps we can close this thread now and concentrate on Saints players and targets?
Suhari Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Never wanted him here. Fat, little runt. (Or something)
Cabbage_Face Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Done deal. 13 million Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Heisenberg Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Eko was right. He said it was 50/50 Klopp and Liverpool fans will always appeal to players, even over a better guarantee of 1st team football sadly.
scotty Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Seems a bit odd. If we were linked with him, perhaps the dippers decided to just buy him now and cut out the middle man.
John Boy Saint Posted 13 July, 2018 Posted 13 July, 2018 Maybe at the end of the day, given the dogs abuse he was handing out to Diouf and anyone else within his vicinity during our game at SMS towards the end of last season, Sparky had no intention of linking up with him again, as he was more trouble than he was worth.
OttawaSaint Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Hope the bench is nice and comfortable and that he has a good view of the pitch.
doddisalegend Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Seems a bit odd. Its not odd though is it? Shaqiri is clearly one of those players who fancies himself as a bit special in his head he will walk into the Liverpool first eleven. Wages will be huge compared to Stoke, not doubt his low fee means a nice big signing on bonus and its Liverpool which players always get gooey eyed over playing for. From Liverpool's point of view he is a good player, for next to no money in todays market, that improves their squad depth.
Toomer Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 So he is going to be happy to sit on his arse and pick up his wages most of the time.
saint77 Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 So he is going to be happy to sit on his arse and pick up his wages most of the time. And without playing regular blow up like a bigger balloon than he already is
angelman Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Do Liverpool actually need him, or was it, given the price, a bit of kleptomania?
tajjuk Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 I don't think he ever fit our profile of player. Look at someone like Vestergaard, how he speaks about earning team mate respect, his profile on and off the pitch etc. can you imagine Shaqiri doing the same? Questions on his fitness levels and work rate, was criticising his team mates in public and during games, doing controversial political stuff whilst on international duty, just too much baggage there. Clearly very talented but a risky move, I mean Klopp is going to beast him, is he going to adapt and work hard? or is he going to be like a poisonous snake in that dressing room?
scotty Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 or is he going to be like a poisonous snake in that dressing room? We can but hope.....
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Do Liverpool actually need him, or was it, given the price, a bit of kleptomania? Don't you mean "klopptomania"?
Window Cleaner Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 (edited) Do Liverpool actually need him, or was it, given the price, a bit of kleptomania? Good player at the price. Given the number of games they'll be playing he'll be a useful option from time to time. Also none of their rivals gets him, not to be sniffed at at when there'll be a 6 team competition for 4 ECL places again this season. Edited 14 July, 2018 by Window Cleaner

From Liverpool's point of view he is a good player, for next to no money in todays market, that improves their squad depth. It's odd because they've already got Firmino, Sturridge, Origi, Mané, Salah, Lallana, AOC, Ings, Wijnaldum, Milner, Solanke and Woodburn, competing for about 4 spaces in their team.

AOC is out for a while I think. Solanke,Origi and Ings won't make the grade, Milner and Lallana are pushing past it, Wijnaldum showed he's not really top class in an offensive role when he was called upon at the end of last season and I've no idea who Woodburn is. They probably need a clear out but they'll have a right old job shifting some of them. Edited 14 July, 2018 by Window Cleaner

Window Cleaner Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Woodburn is a kid who has played a few mins for Liverpool. Because it was for Liverpool the hype is there. Ah the latest of the next Steven Gerrards then.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Woodburn is a kid who has played a few mins for Liverpool. Because it was for Liverpool the hype is there. I know Ben. He's my neighbour in Chester. Looks like he'll be going out on loan for the season. Stoke are very interested.
Batman Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Ah the latest of the next Steven Gerrards then. It’s the same when some lad called Foden is talked about is being the next super star. He took part in 5 games for city last year. That is it For his own good, he needs a season where he will play 30+ games. Go as far and say Rashford needs out of United ASAP, same with Loftus-Cheek

Go as far and say Rashford needs out of United ASAP, same with Loftus-Cheek Probably, thought Rashford looked really green when he came on against Croatia. You could kind of tell the vast gap between the experience of Rakatic, Modric and Perisic and the greeness of Delle, Rashford etc.

To be fair, he does offer something different to that lot. None of them can sit on the wing and wobble and moan. Stoke (and Hughes) indulged him more than we indulged Bou-awful; Like him, he scores some great goals, but is not a great goalscorer.
Lighthouse Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 and Shaqiri is better than about 8 of them In the league it's basically Mané, Salah plus 1, behind Firmino. Away from home and playing the better teams I can see Klopp going with a less offensive, harder working option like Wijnaldum or Milner. AOC will be ahead of him when fit and I personally would have Lallana too.
SW5 SAINT Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 AOC is out for a while I think.

You missed Wilson who is probably their most talented youngster at the moment aside Alexander-Arnold.
paulwantsapint Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Have to ask was Shaqiri used as a decoy to get Moi ? Big Swiss ego gets mentioned Basle push transfer through to save missing out on a sale
Heisenberg Posted 21 January, 2019 Posted 21 January, 2019 12 million quid deal nearly over the line. What do we think? Another good ITK chased off the forum. RIP Eko
