Xherdan Shaqiri

Stylistically, Shaqiri is quite a different footballer from Podolski. I think Shaqiri is far more talented and definitely has a higher ceiling.

Can't really comment on his consistency, but I will say that he hasn't really had consistent playing time at Bayern. He's also a bit injury prone, which is concerning.

All things considered, I get the Coutinho and Sturridge sort of vibe about his signing. Think he could push on to be very good here.
 
Perhaps it's the fact that he plays a blinder every now and then and is mediocre the rest of the time.

I don't think he was really inconsistent until he went to Bayern, was he. He doesn't get much game time in Germany - despite a number of fans thinking he should be in the team - so hard to judge him. He's definitely got a lot more pace than Podolski, he's far more versatile and works harder off the ball - though Podolski isn't bad in that regard.

As dmishra says, he looks to have a lot higher ceiling than Podolski; the talent is without question (just as in Sturridge and Coutinho's case) so it's more a question of unlocking it. I could see it working.
 
He's nothing like Podolski imho.
Much more versatile and much bigger potential. The mentality is also completly different. Shaqiri doesnt seem to get put off by any stage but Podolski goes hiding 90% of the time.
 
Ffs...

Sán ‏@Zizouology Alfredo Pedullà - With all due respect to Liverpool, Shaqiri is willing to wait for Inter Milan. Mancini is said to be in contact with him.

Sán ‏@Zizouology Alfredo Pedullà - Inter Milan have ensured Shaqiri that, in a few days they will try to find an agreement with Bayern München.

Not sure I trust Italian journos on this one, except for Di Marzio.
Swiss newspaper Blick seem to think Shaqiri wants to join us.
 
With all due respect to Liverpool.
You'd swear anyone at the club would be listening to the cunt.

When I was at school I was always the sad loser left at the end of the night with no girl having tried my tragic best with all of the fit ones. This is how supporting Liverpool makes me feel now.
 
Some saying we're not even interested and its the Italian media doing all the speculation.
Pearce at the Echo didn't know anything either.
 
Seems like utter bullshit but oh well:

[article]Liverpool news now from our colleagues at Sky Sports. Liverpool want to sign Xherdan Shaqiri in the summer and are happy for him to join Inter Milan on loan until the end of the season, according to Sky sources.[/article]
 
Isn't Inters offer with a forced option to buy? We'll struggle to buy him if that's the case.....
 
[article]According to Swiss newspaper Blick, Liverpool still have a verbal agreement with Shaqiri after the two parties had agreed a contract in the summer.

It is thought the terms would be very similar, so once Liverpool have an offer accepted the deal would be all but done.

However, Blick also report that Liverpool are struggling to come up with the £10m needed after Brendan Rodgers spent £117m in the summer.

This could have something to do with the Financial Fair Play regulations.

Blick also report that Inter Milan are currently in pole position to sign Shaqiri.[/article]
