those rumours mention 20m as a price , surely that is way too much .
 
Shaqiri is a star! however he is a winger not a AM. Would be a good pick up for upto 15mil
 
What has he done to be valued at 20m?

Bayern bought him for half that, didnt they? He's a squad player there, not a superstar.
 
He played 39 times for them last season, but yeah that seems a bit extreme.
15 mill is probably the right amount.

Buying him means that we'll use Coutinho centrally I'd Imagine.

Its from the Metro so I'm not sure how reliable it is.
 
It's certainly feasible that Bayern sell him, and he would be very smart purchase, but I would still be very surprised if we did end up getting him.
 
Guardiola has been playing 4-1-4-1 in Bayern Munich's preseason games. With the League, CL, Fifa World Club Cup and German Cup to contend with, not forgetting potential injuries/suspensions as well as international fixtures, even if they sign Thiago, they might not move anyone on permanently. Similarly, the players will know that they will get opportunities and game time and be guarded against making a move, esp to a foreign league ahead of WC year.

Guardiola was also known for his rotation. He did not repeated his starting lineup two matches in a row for more than a year (lost count of exact length) and average 3 changes to the starting lineup per game.

Didn't Spearing start for us in our preseason game?

I was about to write something like "the squad selected for the Asian tour might give us an indication on who stays and who goes" but then I remembered that both Adam and Aqua were part of last summers US tour.
 
Exclusive: Liverpool Ready to Accept £25m Plus Bayern Munich Player Swap Offer for Striker Luis Suarez

Anfield side look to snap up promising youngster as part of deal to sell Uruguayan.


Liverpool are ready to use want-away striker Luis Suarez as bait in their pursuit of Bayern Munich starlet Xherdan Shaqiri.
CaughtOffside understands that Brendan Rodgers has set his sights on impressive young Swiss international Shaqiri and has been given encouragement from the club’s Bavarian employers that he could be allowed to leave the Allianz Arena, but only for the right price.
Liverpool may have publicly stated that they have no intention of selling Uruguayan ace Suarez the are privately preparing the ground for a sale of the 26 year old but on their terms. The have been angered by the former Ajax striker’s stance on his future at the Merseyside club and do not feel there is any way back for the forward following his repeated statements regarding his desire to leave Anfield.

New Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is known to be a fan of the Liverpool marksman and having allowed Mario Gomez to join Napoli the Spanish manager is very keen on bringing in a strong striking addition and the Premier League side are willing to enter negotiations about a possible player plus cash deal.
Liverpool value Suarez at over £40m and will accept a fee of around £25m plus young attacker Shaqiri for their top-scorer, an offer that Bayern Munich may well be amenable to.
Shaqiri made just 14 starts in all competitions for Bayern Munich last term and may find his chances all the more limited as Guardiola looks to bring in a raft of summer additions having already seen the likes of Mario Gotze, Jan Kirchhoff, Mitchell Weiser and Thiago Alcantara join the reigning Bundesliga and Champions League title holders.
The speedy wide-man could well feel that a fresh challenge of a move to Liverpool could help secure more regular first team football.

A move to bring in Shaqiri is very much in keeping with Liverpool’s youthful transfer policy and the club’s owners are keen to offset the cost of further summer additions from player sales, hence a player exchange deal being on they are actively considering.
Shaqiri is considered one of the hottest young properties in European football and the former FC Basel man already has over 160 club appearances to his name as well as 25 Swiss national team caps.

I'd love for us to sign Shaqiri, we could then use the rest of that money to sign someone like Eriksen, and Papa John, we'd be a very strong squad if that happened.
 
Is Shaqiri good? Has he shown that he can elevate himself from starlet to star? And where would he play for us?

40M is still a low valuation considering what other players are going for and therefore you'd want Shaqiri to have a reasonable chance of becoming a 20-25M plus player himself.
 
I've never seen Shaqiri play a full 90 minutes of club football but have watched him several times for Switzerland have been very impressed. Shaqiri + £25m would IMO represent the best suggested offer so far.
