Kid Dynamite 5908 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 He will have a queue of clubs after him for that price and will be looking for silly wages I'd imagine. I'd take him to replace Perez though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 He's a strange player Shaqiri, obviously he has great left peg but he seems to disappear for long spells. I doubt Rafa would be interested for that reason, he loves every player on the pitch to work hard and he won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Aye, defo have him over Perez and believe he's a good player so it's blatantly his personality biasing my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Shaqiri is a right little lazy bastard who, if he spent more time grafting and less time whinging on to refs and diving, he'd be brilliant. Plus, he always scores past us so bring him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not Rafa's type either as he doesn't seem to get on too well with his teammates. I know what you mean, I do think he’s one of them where you hate the bastard because he’s on an opposition team but we’d like him on our team. He’d be well worth 12M but as KD said it’s be hard to get him if that’s how low his clause is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same would've applied to the Southampton players being talked about had they gone down, i.e. wages etc. pricing us out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceCadet 5 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Fingers crossed. He's played wide roles before so he'll have the mobility to excel in Rafa's system too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never noticed him before if i'm honest, i didn't even know who he played for until i looked it up, and as i have bt sports i watch a lot of the German football I guess that's what happens when you watch foreign football when all that matter is my bet on the match Edited May 11, 2018 by Tdansmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the exception that everyone brings up when their position is weak. My point stands. Where once we were signing world class talent, then competing with Arsenal, Tottenham or whomever for signings, now we're competing with the likes of Leicester and Cardiff.

I think it's unfair to say that about Leicester City, they won the league fair and square, nowt to do with my position being weak, in fact I'd love Newcastle to be where Leicester City are, former Premier league winning who spent £35 million £24 million and £22 million on three players, we can only dream of being at that level.

They won the league because of a perfect storm. Similar to when we finished 5th. Underrated players maintaining superb form, good luck with injuries, poor performances by other (traditionally elite) Premier League sides. It's not unfair to say that, because it's patently true. Of course I'd love Newcastle to win/have won the league, but, with the owner we have, the players we have and the players we're likely to get, that's not going to happen.

That's not true though, is it? Sometimes the best team doesn't win a football match because of a ludicrous performance by the opposition 'keeper. Sometimes the best team is screwed out of a win by poor officiating, or bad luck. Sometimes the best team's striker has an off-day and the opposition striker plays out of their skin. So if all that is true, it's entirely possible for a few games to go against the "best team" and for a team that is fundamentally not the "best team" can steal a march. Ferguson's last Man United squad were not the best team in the league, but they won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Have to agree with Fish. I think it's a statistical anomaly. If it wasn't, they wouldn't have been struggling at the other end of the table either side of that season. Great teams don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF to Dan, it's a serious outlier (like >95% I think) for a whole season to result in someone like Leicester winning the League. Yes, a team that isn't quite the best can easily have that run of luck, but for a not-so-great side to do it takes something rather bizarre.

I agree and Leicester winning the league was truly bizarre, that's why they were 5000-1 (or whatever) to win the league. Man for man they were weaker in most if not every position than the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and the Manchester club. They were didn't have the best manager in the league. They worked hard, had a striker and 2 midfielders in the form of their lives and because of their previous season rarely went into a game as favourites meaning they could play the counter attack style that was very successful. No serious pundit expected them to get top half let alone win the thing. It's a total aberration and whenever people say "yeah, but Leicester won the league", what they're really saying is that nothing is set in stone. That's fine, but it's never happened before (afaik) and it's unlikely to happen again, so it doesn't really stack up as evidence of anything much at all.

adios 717 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Aye, the only thing it might be evidence of is the skill-gap closing causing higher variance but I've previously argued the opposite about the skill-gap so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
