Happy with this deal. On form he is a great player. For the price we’ve paid this is a steal if he can maintain some of that form. And as mentioned above, he’s probably just turned into our no.1 attacking option from the bench, I’d much rather be bringing him on than sturridge/ings/solanke/origi/ghost/Henderson/lallana etc, I think he just pips the ox.
I'm interested to see how he'll do. Would I prefer bringing him in rather than Solanke or Ings or even Lallana when we're looking for something, or need to rest one of our front 3? Yes I would.
We are all making the assumption that our front 3 will perform like they did like last season - I do not think that will be the case. I think all three maybe a little depressed after the world cup that they have had. So I think Shaq will get plenty of chances with us and will as most people have said improve hugely under Klopp.
May as well stick a fork in him now.
Delighted with his comments about Klopp.
I think he's going to have a brilliant season

Not really.. Its his Switzerland number. Makes sense.
For the price it's worth a shot. He can't be coming in knowing anything other than he has to fight for his place which means he'll have to up his game, become more consistent and deliver on the early potential he showed in his career.
If he ends up in the starting 11 then he'll have done most of that. At the very least he strengthens the squad.

Can's number isn't it?
To me he looks like the antithesis of a Klopp player so I reckon this will be one he's gone along with, due to the price tag.
I've talked myself into this one. Pleased with the signing even though id have been apoplectic a month ago that he is our key new attacking player.
He just doesn't look like a footballer. Looks more like a wrestler.
Well we've finally signed a player that we know can do it on a wet night at the Britannia and the fuckers have been relegated.
You're both wrong.
It's not Carra's number or Can's number.
23 belongs to Robert Bernard Fowler.
I first heard of the 23 enigma from William S Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, Nova Express, etc. According to Burroughs, he had known a certain Captain Clark, around 1960 in Tangier, who once bragged that he had been sailing 23 years without an accident. That very day, Clark’s ship had an accident that killed him and everybody else aboard. Furthermore, while Burroughs was thinking about this crude example of the irony of the gods that evening, a bulletin on the radio announced the crash of an airliner in Florida, USA. The pilot was another Captain Clark and the flight was Flight 23
The excuses are being used for this transfer as was used for pennant. A squad filler who brings experience. I kinda thought we were past those days He has been round the block a few times.
Yes me too. Also the guy is very versatile and I reckon he could potentially fill the roles of both Salah/Firminio and also a Coutinho role too as he is a creative forward. If we get Fekir, plus defender and a goalkeeper - I reckon we could be contenders but I have a feeling it will stop with Fekir plus maybe a goalkeeper.
Are they like for like level players? Same pedigry and experience on top of skill set and goals?
Me too. Not really that excited about him obviously, but he was easily Stoke’s best player and terrorized several teams. He’s got a sweet left foot and naturally slots in where Salah plays. Good acquisition.
23 is his number. He plays for the Swiss in no. 23. No idea why, like.
