OldNick Posted 11 July, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted 13 July, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 13 July, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 13 July, 2018 Share 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 Share Posted 14 July, 2018 Hope the bench is nice and comfortable and that he has a good view of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 14 July, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 14 July, 2018 Share Posted 14 July, 2018 Do Liverpool actually need him, or was it, given the price, a bit of kleptomania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 14 July, 2018 Share 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?

Window Cleaner Posted 14 July, 2018 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 14 July, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could kind of tell the vast gap between the experience of Rakatic, Modric and Perisic and the greeness of Delle, Rashford etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 14 July, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
