Shaqiri on the move ?

[Rosco]

Swiss star Xherdan Shaqiri says that he is considering a move to Turkey to play with Galatasaray, despite a host of other top clubs in Europe chasing his signature.

Shaqiri, 20, has impressed for FC Basel as he led them to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time and the midfielder has been linked with a move - with Galatasaray leading the way with a €10 million bid.

"I never would have imagined that I would go to the Turkish league, but Galatasaray are now a top club," he told Basler Zeitung. "The chances are good that the club will win the title and play in the Champions League next season. You have to consider an offer like this. Galatasaray are ambitious and have invested in new players."

Basel, however, are not keen to let their star player depart. "It is now contact, we have received an offer from Istanbul," Basel president Bernhard Heusler confirmed. "We have taken note, but this does not mean it is a basis for negotiation. We are currently not willing to sell Shaqiri."

Sporting director George Heitz added: "Of course you never know what might happen, I am asked about three or four of our players. Clubs from Germany, Britain and Eastern Europe are asking and we have had offers.

"But we are in the next round of the Champions League and that is our main aim at the moment."

He'd be a great buy.

Wonder how much he'd go for...

I take it you missed the part where he talks about Gala playing in the CL ?

I was focused more on what was being said between the lines... something about Gala perhaps offering him a fat wedge to go play in their shit heap of a league.

If we didn't waste that money on players "Who would help us get 4th place", we could be signing these kind of players innit?

We have the worst transfer record of any club in the last 5 years, and it is the main reason why we had a squad that almost won the league and then it all petered out. I'm surprised to see that people are still not getting the chop over this.

 

[Skullflower]

players like this wont come to us. we should buy downing for 20 mill.

Shaqiri on the move ?

This'll probably happen.

These Tips Don't Lie.

[hmmmmm1]

We will try and sign Scott Sinclair for similar amount instead.....

Strange move, and it will be even stranger if Basel lets him go in this window.

 

[Halmeister]

We should be all over this. We won't be though, because he's good and affordable and a viable option.

Rumours are suggesting that Galatasaray cannot meet Basle's €15m asking price for Xherdan Shaqiri. Snap their hands, arms and legs off.

Is the right answer.

 

[Rosco]

This is why we were better served by not spending 20m on Downing 6 months ago.

 

[Skullflower]

downing was the only player who didn't mind us not being in the champions league.

 

[Modo]

Its fucking annoying.

Re: Shaqiri on the move ?

It's shite if he wants to go and we're but interested

Still doesn't mean you splash out £20 million on him. Certainly if he isn't considerably better than the players already at the Club.
